6:46 am
recent days quietly authorized a transfer of billions of dollars worth of bombs and fighter jest switch. israel last week, the state department also authorized a transfer of 25 f-35 fighter jets and engines to israel, in our explain a section, we've taken closer look at the issue. the us government has approved new batch of military equipment to the israeli regime. the most recent aid will include bombs and fighter jets. the immediate question, what happened to the rhetoric? of concern for civilian casualties, for example, the us secretary of defense lloyd austin has said that the civilian death tool in the gaza strip is far too high, the too many palestinian civilians continue to die, adding that the gaza strip continues to suffer humanitarian catastrophe, one in which can be avoided, and that the situation is getting even worse, echoing the same view as other us officials, including us president
6:47 am
joe biden, now it was within one week that the white house authorized trans of war planes and bombs, the sale amount $2.5 billion. here's a shot list, more than 1800 mk84 200 lb bombs and 500 mk82 500 lb bombs. this sale also included 25 f35 fighter jets. now what can these 200 lb bombs do. for starters, the immense fire power can inflict damage to people over. long distance up to a thous feet or 300 away. this can create civilian casualties a massive scale, something israel has done on more than one occasion. well, here's a map which shows craters created by these heavy us bombs, more than 500 craters, which are consistent with 200 pound bombs. note that the average
6:48 am
destruction is 39.3 ft or 12 meters in diameter. to flashback. are in order here: first, from october the 7th to november the 1st, euromed monitor reported that israel struck at least 12,000 targets, that it had dropped more than 25,000 tons of explosives on the gaza strip, and it said this was equivalent to two nuclear bombs like the ones us dropped on hiroshima and nagasaki. the second flashback, massive us arms deliveries, 244 transport planes. from october the 7th to december the 25th, more than 10,000 tons of bombs and munitions delivered to occupied palestine, and that's over a three-month period only. we're now in the sixth month of the genocide. let's not forget, the us has virtually removed all the meaningful restrictions on the stock pile and the transfer of its arms to israel. this includes
6:49 am
surplus weapons limitations, annual spending cap on replenish. the stock pile and curtailing congressional oversight. to add insult to injury, the us says that israel is using weapons in line with international and humanitarian law, and that israel is not blocking gaza 8, saying israel's use of american weapons meets requirements of new national security memorandum, despite overwhelming evidence that proves otherwise. the us provides israel with nearly $4 billion a year in military. assistance, if it wanted to stop the israeli genocide, it could do so by using that as leverage to condition us aid for israel, but it continues to provide israel with bombs, which may be why joe biden has new nickname, genocide joe. in pakistan, people have shown solidarity with palestinians in water on gaza by holding
