The Biden administration is close to approving the sale of as many as 50 American-made F-15 fighter jets to Israel, in a deal expected to be worth more than $18 billion, according to three people familiar with the matter.
I mean… this is horrifically shitty timing but doesn’t really impact the genocide in Gaza at all.
Even if these were being delivered “whole” (which they aren’t), the utility of air superiority fighters to continue to level a 139 square mile open air prison is almost zero.
This is all about neighboring countries that might attack. We already have had a decent number of allegedly Iranian puppeted terror groups launch rockets against Israel (and the US…) as part of this conflict. And whether we jerk netanyahu off while he commits geneocide or not, a war involving nuclear powers that further destabilizes The Middle East is in nobody’s interests.
But even if we were sending F-35s: Gaza is 139 square miles. Even General T-Swizzle Herself would question the need to use jets to attack that when modern artillery is accurate enough to cause pinpoint collateral damage within a hundred mile radius.
So the F-15 has no meaningful impact on the current genocide.
you know, ethnically-speaking the Palestinians are just Arab
it’s not the hardest thing in the world to research
nobody is trying to wipe out all the Arabs, and calling it genocide is probably just pissing Israel off
educate yourself a little and stop buying into the propaganda: https://time.com/4084301/hitler-grand-mufi-1941/
The thought occurs to me that if those neighboring countries decide to use force against Israel to stop the genocide against fellow Muslims, Israel will use these fighters in that war, and the US will have provided those fighters.
So yeah, they won’t be used directly for genocide, just used by a country doing a genocide. We didn’t send arms to Nazi Germany even before joining the war, we shouldn’t send arms to Israel now.

So this is really just normal US gun running.
We cant even send F-16s to Ukraine, and we’re sending the best of the best to Israel. F35s can be used for bombing very easily.
F-15, not F-35.

How does supporting a state actively engaging in genocide not enable them continue? The mental gymnastics around this are astounding

It looks like the intent is to deter any of the neighbouring countries from interfering with Isreal’s ongoing genocide.
