As A US Taxpayer, This Is How YOU Are Helping To Murder Infants & Children In Gaza
You can look away, but the fact remains, we all bear some degree of moral responsibility.

While the White House and Congress of (mis)representatives claim poverty when it comes to providing Americans with health insurance, an end to child hunger or resolution of the homeless crisis, billions are quickly hustled up to line the pockets of the corrupt, sociopathic weapons industry (campaign donors) to keep the Israeli “Defense” Force armed for the bloody completion of the genocidal slaughter in Gaza.
In a November 21 Mint Press News article, a list of recent US weapons shipments to Israel is listed:
“Bloomberg revealed a U.S. Defense Department document entitled “Israel Senior Leader” requests, dating to late October, listing the weapons Israel is seeking for its ongoing war on Gaza. According to Bloomberg, the weapons arsenal is already being shipped. The arms are listed below:
2,000 Hellfire missiles for Apache attack helicopters manufactured by U.S. weapons firm Lockheed Martin [Note: These are the very same missiles used by the IDF to slaughter many of the victims of the Oct. 7th Hamas raid. MT]
30mm chain gun ammunition for Apache attack helicopters manufactured by U.S. arms corporation General Dynamics
57,000 155mm shells for artillery guns
400 120mm mortars
PVS-14 night vision monoculars from U.S. manufacturer Night Vision Devices
M141 shoulder-fired bunker-busters
75 Joint Light Tactical Vehicles, manufactured by U.S. firm Oshkosh Defense
More than 300 Tamir interceptors for Israel’s Iron Dome system, and made by U.S. arms manufacturer Raytheon
And it gets worse
“As previously reported by MintPress News, photos have shown that U.S.-manufactured weapons containing white phosphorus are being used in Israel’s assault on Gaza. These artillery shells were made by Pine Bluff Arsenal, an army facility based in Arkansas known for supplying white phosphorus ammunition. The U.S. army did not respond to requests verifying if Pine Bluff Arsenal artillery is being used in Gaza.
“The U.S. has already sent over several arms shipments since the beginning of the war in October, as shown on the Israeli Ministry of Defense’s social media platforms.” …
As citizens and taxpayers of the United States, such immoral expenditures are done in our name and on our dime. You can look away, but the fact remains, we all bear some degree of moral responsibility, which adds to the urgent necessity of speaking up and out against the obscene genocide being carried out in our name.
And as bad as it is, things are about to get worse as recently noted in a previous DeMOCKracy.ink post, “Genocide” Joe Biden is lifting practically all limits on US military support for the US/Israeli genocide while wrapping the transactions in an even tighter shroud of secrecy.

Sadistic Logic: "From The River To The Sea" Is Called Genocide, But Actual Genocide Is Not Genocide
By Caitlan Johnstone (11/23/23)
Elon Musk has announced that common pro-Palestine phrases like "from the river to the sea" and "decolonization" are now banned on Twitter and will result in suspension, falsely claiming that they "necessarily imply genocide".
“Palestinian children in Gaza are undoubtedly targets as repeated Israeli military offensives destroy their homes, schools, and neighborhoods, as Israeli forces use U.S.-made and funded weapons to kill them and their families with impunity.”
— Khaled Quzmar, general director at Defense for Children International – Palestine, and a plaintiff in the lawsuit, said in a press release.
