The U.S. military is moving an aircraft carrier strike group and military aircraft closer to Israel as a show of support, and will also begin supplying Israel with munitions and other military supplies immediately, said Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.

Austin said Sunday afternoon that he had directed the USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group to go to the Eastern Mediterranean. The group includes the carrier, a Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser, and four Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyers. “We have also taken steps to augment U.S Air Force F-35, F-15, F-16, and A-10 fighter aircraft squadrons in the region,” he said. “In addition, the United States government will be rapidly providing the Israel Defense Forces with additional equipment and resources, including munitions. The first security assistance will begin moving today and arriving in the coming days."

“Strengthening our joint force posture, in addition to the materiel support that we will rapidly provide to Israel, underscores the United States’ ironclad support for the Israel Defense Forces and the Israeli people,” said Austin. “My team and I will continue to be in close contact with our Israeli counterparts to ensure they have what they need to protect their citizens and defend themselves against these heinous terrorist attacks.”

I mean if I was violently oppressed for decades I'd be insatiable too.

My point is this has been a long time coming for Israel. They've been doing fucked up things for decades and surprise surprise it's created a group of people who want nothing more than to see Israel burning.

Maybe they should have accepted the two independent state proposal instead of attempting to eliminate all the Jews in the region.

Israel accepted the two state proposal by the UN which gave Palestinian Arabs all the land they currently claim and made Jerusalem a neutral territory. Palestine responded by having Egypt, Syria, Jordan, and Iraq invade and try to exterminate all Israeli Jews like they did in the Muslim conquest.

They all got their asses handed to them. Over and over again every time they’ve started shit.
