Ranking Member @meeks.house.gov announced he will not clear the Trump administration’s proposed $2.8 billion sale of 2,000-pound bombs to Israel due to concerns that those munitions would not be used in accordance with U.S. and international law.

No one in America, no one, is as easy a political mark as the spoiled Leftist trust fund babies on so-called "elite" campuses and the Leftist faculty on their campuses who enabled them in their protests against Biden & Harris & their silence on Trump.
@kamalaharris.com would not have approved these 40,000 one-ton bombs. What's happening to Gaza and to Lebanon right now would not be happening if she had been elected. Leftists must acknowledge this and they must acknowledge that they do not protest Trump like they do Democrats.

US law requires recipients to use US-supplied weapons in ways consistent with international humanitarian law. Israel’s slaughter of Palestinians has clearly violated IHL. It’s time to stop illegally fueling the killing.
Breaking News: The Trump administration approved a $2.8 billion arms sale to Israel that includes heavy bombs, according to a U.S. official.

This is the general assumption: that the US can ramp up production in a war. But most of these munitions were probably expended in the first six weeks of a relatively small-scale campaign. Would the US be able to scale up at the necesssary speed vs. China?

For scale, a single US 2,000-pound bomb, with an estimated crater size of 50 feet, was used by Israel in the Jabalia refugee camp airstrike that killed at least 126 civilians, including 69 children, on 31 October 2023, according to Airwars.
Trump’s planned sale of controversial bombs to Israel is largest in years: The pending transfer of 40,000 2,000-pound bombs, involved in scores of incidents resulting in civilian casualties, sets up a potential litmus test for Democrats. wapo.st/4yHxFCs

"controversial" is a euphemism.
Note that in two articles today, WaPo describes a "sale" of bombs to Israel. This is extremely misleading. The reported $2.bn package is 100% funded by US taxpayers via the Foreign Military Financing grants for Israel to buy US weapons.

While the majority of Americans, including many young Republicans, demand an end to aid to Israel, the Trump Administration is sending the Israeli military $2.8 billion of taxpayer funded bombs.
This is why so many Americans believe our political and economic system is broken.

Don’t believe the lies. Trump is *not* selling $2.8 billion of bombs for Israel’s genocide.
It’s worse.
Trump is *giving away* $2.8 billion of bombs for Israel’s genocide. American taxpayers are paying for those bombs.

Keep in mind that this is more than the estimated total number of one-ton bombs Israel dropped on Gaza!
