Blood War for Jobs and Money
Biden wants another boosting jobs ahead election. Netanyahu is calculating every word in his frantic battle for political survival, but his usual dumping the blame on others spectacularly backfired.

Prevent a recession it’s not enough for Biden, so profiting genocidal war is must. The Biden administration’s funding request for Israel and Ukraine will be a boon for the American economy, argued Secretary of State Antony John Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin III in a high-profile hearing on Tuesday.

“When we send our friends munitions from our stockpiles, the money to replenish our supplies strengthens our military readiness, and we invest in American industry and American workers,” Austin told the Senate Appropriations Committee. “Some US$50 billion of this supplemental request would flow through our defense industrial base, creating American jobs in more than 30 states.”
17 Hours ago Jabalia barbaric bombing it suggested that it's up to Palestinians to prove their civilian-ness. A thread to set the record straight. Jabalia bombing by Israeli not only kill 500 - 520 Gazans but also 7 Israeli hostage. In 24 days, Netanyahu via IDF already kill 80 Israeli itself with indiscriminate bombing and gun-firing, maybe the real number is higher.
The argument has become central to the Biden administration’s messaging in recent weeks as it seeks Republican support for its US$105 billion request to fund aid for Ukraine and Israel; disaster relief; and border security.

It is unclear whether the “jobs” argument has convinced Ukraine aid skeptics in the House, who have pushed for greater restrictions on future funding. But it resonated with many senators on the Appropriations Committee, who applauded the potential investment in America’s economy and defense industrial base.
Experts, for their part, argue that weapons spending is far less effective at creating jobs than other forms of government investment, including education and healthcare.
On Monday, Newly minted House Speaker James Michael ‘Mike’ Johnson (R-La.) introduced a separate bill that only includes funding for Israel. Blinken argued against the move, contending that Russia’s war on Ukraine and Hamas’s attack on Israel are fundamentally linked. Austin added that the Ukrainian military would collapse if American support were cut off.
Protestors repeatedly interrupted Blinken’s remarks in the first half hour of the hearing, with at least six different demonstrators calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and accusing the White House of supporting “genocide.” Multiple participants in the protest appeared to be affiliated with Code Pink, a prominent antiwar organization.
“I also hear very much the passions expressed in this room,” Blinken said after demonstrators were removed. “All of us are committed to the protection of civilian life.”
“But all of us know the imperative of standing up with our allies and partners when their security, when their democracies are threatened,” he added. “We stand resolutely with them even as we stand resolutely for the protection of innocent civilians.”
Blinken and Austin defended U.S. policy in Ukraine and Israel, frequently invoking alleged war crimes committed by Russian forces and Hamas. “Israel has not only the right but the duty to defend itself,” Blinken said, echoing a frequent argument from the Biden administration in recent weeks. “No nation would tolerate” Hamas continuing to operate on their territory, he continued.
Neither official directly addressed claims that Israel has violated international law through alleged disproportionate violence against Gazan civilians, use of banned munitions like white phosphorus, and efforts to prevent aid from reaching Gaza. Blinken “stressed the need for Israel to abide by the law of war” but accused Hamas of using civilians as “human shields.”
Blinken highlighted that Gazans “desperately need” humanitarian assistance in order to survive. He also noted that the U.S., Israel, and Egypt have established a system whereby every United Nations-operated truck “is checked by Israel” and Egyptian authorities in order to prevent Hamas from transporting weapons in aid shipments. Blinken added that no aid has been diverted to help the militant organization, which both he and Austin repeatedly compared to the Islamic State.
Austin, for his part, addressed the escalation of attacks on U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria by Iranian-backed militias, which the Pentagon has responded to with at least one set of airstrikes on a militia base in Syria. “We reserve the right to respond at a place and time of our choosing,” he said. “We will do what’s necessary to protect our troops and deter this type of behavior.”
When pressed by Sen. Lindsey Olin Graham (R-S.C.), Austin refused to commit to a direct attack on Iran if an Iranian-backed militia killed an American soldier in a strike in Iraq or Syria.
This is one of the most terrifying things I've read in a long time. If you're finding ways to justify mass killing at this scale, you've lost your basic humanity. But this is what Israel is willing to consider doing to Palestinians. Let this sink in.
I know a lot of high-ranking media, such as New York Times, Guardian, Anadolu, BILD, Spiegel, Financial Times, Strait Times, Washington Post etc subscribed my substack. Plestia Alaqad ready to be your Stringer inside Gaza under bombing by Israel. Plestiaa2011@gmail.com
Toddler with Plestia, before war, living in Northern Gaza and they evacuated to Southern Gaza. Since Friday, Oct 13, when Israel announced to every Gazans from northern move to southern, more than 5,000 killed in southern, not counting barbaric bombing in northern Gaza. Northern Gaza is being depopulated, while even residents in the south are ordered to evacuate as the israelis implement their ethnic cleansing. Refugee literally fulfilled Israel warning, and still killed with barbaric bombing by Israel. Documentation by Plestia Alaqad
overnment of Palestine’
now, even more than half of GOP says please Cease Fire
[English version] more than 7,000 Gazans list casualties click here. First 88 names are from the same extended family [ASTAL or ASATAL], ranging in ages from 72 years old to under a year. It goes on and on like this. The next 72 from one family [HUSUNA or HUSNA, started number 89 after all-88-of ASTAL or ASATAL] wiped out too, forever. No more ASTAL or ASATAL still living on earth forever. No more HUSNA or HUSUNA forever
For perspective, over 1 million Americans died during Covid in 2 years. That's about 0.3 percent of the population. In less than 1 month, nearly 0.4% of Palestinians in Gaza have been killed. Imagine the chaos. And this is just the start of the long war according to Netanhayu.

-prada- Adi Mulia Pradana is a Helper. Former adviser (President Indonesia) Jokowi for mapping 2-times election. I used to get paid to catch all these blunders—now I do it for free. Trying to work out what's going on, what happens next. Now figure out and or prevent catastrophic of everything.
Frequently Marxists claim imperialism wages wars to sell arms. Even I used to think that, untill I studied it more closely. Even if there were no arms to be sold Ukraine and Russia, Jews and Arabs, would still be going at it. Hate, fear, lies, ignorance drive war much more than mere greed. Crapitalists know war is destructive to wealth so they generally reject it. This is why there are fewer, not more wars, why crapitalism did not (and will not) collapse.
