The United States has announced the approval of the sale of more than $7.4bn in bombs, missiles and related equipment to Israel, which has used American-made weapons to devastating effect during the war in Gaza.
The state department has signed off on the sale of $6.75bn in bombs, guidance kits and fuses, in addition to $660m in Hellfire missiles, according to the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA).
The proposed sale of the bombs “improves Israel’s capability to meet current and future threats, strengthen its homeland defense, and serves as a deterrent to regional threats”, the DSCA said in a statement.

Maybe start at the local level and build a community of like minded people to form a cohort to enact change instead of trying to start at the top and then throwing a tantrum when you don’t get your way after putting in none of the work or effort to better the party from the ground up like all the other established politicians have.

This is the trillion-dollar question. How does one combat a system so dominated by money? I certainly don’t have the funds to lobby politicians and the politicians certainly won’t agree to change the system that showers them with gifts and power. This same system leads to greater and greater wealth inequality. The top 10% wealthiest Americans own two-thirds of the wealth: https://www.statista.com/statistics/203961/wealth-distribution-for-the-us
Even if wealth distribution was more equal and the bottom 90% had more wealth in total, it’s a lot easier to get fewer people to agree with collective action and to control the narrative with a coherent policy.
