The United States has approved another $20bn in weapons transfers to
Israel, despite concerns that Israeli forces are routinely violating
international law in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

The State Department announced on Tuesday that Secretary of State
Antony Blinken had approved the arms sale, which includes dozens of
fighter jets alongside tank munitions and air-to-air missiles.

“The United States is committed to the security of Israel, and it is
vital to US national interests to assist Israel to develop and
maintain a strong and ready self-defence capability,” the State
Department said.

The announcement came as Israel prepares for expected retaliation from
Iran and the Lebanon-based group Hezbollah following the
assassinations of high-level Hamas and Hezbollah officials which have
raised concerns over the possibility of a regional war.

The US has said it is working to avoid such an escalation. President
Joe Biden on Tuesday said an Iranian retaliation might be avoided if a
ceasefire agreement was reached to end the war in Gaza where Israeli
forces have killed nearly 40,000 people, largely women and children,
levelled entire neighbourhoods and blocked shipments of humanitarian
assistance.

Critics have called on the the Biden administration to cut off weapons
transfers to Israel, alleging that they make the US complicit in the
destruction of Gaza and are an essential source of leverage that the
administration has refused to exploit in its efforts to secure a
ceasefire agreement to end the war, which Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu has insisted will continue.

Reports that Israeli forces are systematically violating international
law and committing abuses such as torture have also failed to stop the
flow of weapons, despite requirements under US law that military units
credibly accused of gross human rights violations be cut off from
support.

Speaking before the United Nations on Tuesday, US Ambassador Linda
Thomas-Greenfield said her country’s goal in the region was to “turn
the temperature down”.

“That starts with finalising a deal for an immediate ceasefire with
hostage release in Gaza. We need to get this over the finish line,”
she said in remarks to the UN Security Council.

While his creepy wife left their windows open to smell Minneapolis
burning, for uh...historical value of course...

https://thenationalpulse.com/2024/08/14/flashback-kamala-vp-pick-tim-walz-had-police-shoot-paintballs-at-minnesotans-during-blm-riots/


Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Vice President Kamala Harris‘s running
mate, authorized police to shoot paintballs at local residents who
refused to obey an 8 PM curfew during the Black Lives Matter (BLM) riots
in Minneapolis in 2020 following the death of George Floyd.Footage has
resurfaced on social media showing police pelting locals with paintballs
after one officer is heard saying “light ’em up” to his fellow officers.

The treatment of people standing on their own porches in their own
neighborhoods during the 2020 riots is a stark contrast to the treatment
of the actual rioters who went around setting large fires in part of the
city with barely any police present.Governor Walz‘s wife Gwen even
stated that she purposely left the windows of their home open during the
violent riots “as long as [she] could” so that she could smell the
burning tires and other objects.“I kept the windows open as long as I
could because I felt like that was such a touchstone of what was
happening,” she said.Former President Donald J. Trump’s running mate,
Senator J.D. Vance, has criticized both Governor Walz and Vice President
Harris for their reactions to the 2020 riots.“Tim Walz allowed rioters
to burn down Minneapolis in the Summer of 2020, and then the few who got
caught, Kamala Harris helped bail them out of jail,” Senator Vance said
earlier this month.Despite giving authority to police to harass local
citizens at their homes with paintball guns, Governor Walz has also
compared U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) actions to
detain illegal aliens to terrorism.

THIS is why it IS the "fake noose":

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/08/new-low-cnn-far-left-host-dana-bash/

CNN host Dana Bash was caught lying about Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s
discussion on the nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and nuclear
energy during their historic Twitter Space on Monday night.

The Trump-Musk Twitter-X Space shattered all records with over one
billion combined mentions in the first 12 hours. It truly was historic.

So, Dana Bash and CNN did what they had to do to tear both men down –
they openly lied about their conversation.

Part 1: The CNN Segment led by host Dana Bash:

Dana Bash: I want to play one exchange that was kinda classic. Well,
there were a lot of changes, uh exchanges that were classic Donald Trump
but this one really stuck out to us.

Elon Musk: Nagasaki were bombed but now they’re, they’re like full
cities again.

Trump: Right.

Elon Musk: So it’s really not something that, you know…

Trump: (inaudible)

Elon Musk: So it’s really not as scary as people think basically.

Dana Bash: So that was more Elon Musk than Donald Trump, talking about,
sort of suggesting that what happened, almost 80 years ago, I think 80
years ago next year, ugh, the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, now
it’s OK. Um, trying to kinda blow off the impact of that.

Here’s the video of the segment on CNN.

Part 2: The actual conversation between Donald Trump and Elon Musk:

Elon Musk: Yeah. Actually, there’s the bad side of nuclear, which is a
nuclear war, very bad side. But there’s also, I think, nuclear
electricity generation is underrated. Absolutely. You’re right. People
have this fear of nuclear electricity generation, but it’s actually one
of the safest forms of electricity generation. It’s just a huge
misunderstanding. If you look at the injuries and deaths caused by, say,
I’m not going to try to pick on a coal mining, but just any mining
operation, and there’s a certain number of injuries and deaths per year.
When you compare that to nuclear, nuclear is actually way better. It’s
underrated as an electricity source, and I think it’s something that’s
worth reconsider But there’s so much regulation that people can’t get it
done.

President Trump: Maybe they’ll have to change the name. The name is a
rough name. There are some areas like when you see what happened in- The
bad branding. We have to rebrand it. We’ll have to give it a good We’ll
name it after you or something. Hey, it has a branding problem. When you
see what happened- It does have a branding problem. When you see what
happened in Japan where they say you won’t be able to go on the land for
about 3,000 years. Did you ever see that? And in Russia, where they had
the problem, where there’s a lot of bad things happened, and they have a
problem. And they say that in 2000 years, people will start to occupy
the land again. You realise it’s pretty bad. No, that’s not true. But
you’re right about It’s just basic.

Elon Musk: It’s actually not that bad. After Fukushima happened in
Japan, people were asking me in California, Are we worried about a
nuclear cloud coming from Japan? I’m like, No, that’s crazy. It’s not
even dangerous in Fukushima. I actually flew there and ate locally grown
vegetables on TV to prove it. I donated a solar power system for a water
treatment plant.

Trump: (joking) Yeah, but you haven’t been feeling so well lately, and
I’m worried about it.

Elon Musk: No, no, no.

Trump: I’m only kidding.

Elon Musk: It’s like Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed, but now they’re
full cities again. It’s really not something that… That’s right. It’s
not as scary as people think, basically.
