The United States has put off selling thousands of precision-guided weapons to Israel
amid growing tensions in the Gaza Strip, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing sources.

Washington was expected to sell about 6,500 JDAM systems to Israel, the news outlet added in a report published on Monday.

U.S. Delays Sending Precision Weapons to Israel
Biden administration has held up delivery of Joint Direct Attack Munitions
as it pressures its ally not to go into Rafah

The U.S. decision also comes as the administration is pushing back on Israel’s declared plan to launch an attack on the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip. The White House has publicly resisted calls to limit weapons sales despite mounting criticism about the death toll and destruction within Gaza through U.S.-provided weapons.

Without details, the claim of delay may be just a couple hours?
Considering the source ..

it doesn't seem to match recent actions in Rafah.
Sounds more like a smoke screen intended for the
domestic audience. To back-up their claims of
discouraging the IDF for more slaughter.

@humphrey are variable. 5 minutes later counts as a delay.
We will sell or give whatever Israel wants.

White House announces new steps to counter antisemitism, including on college campuses

BY BRETT SAMUELS -05/07/24 5:00 AM ET

The White House on Tuesday announced a handful of additional actions intended to curb antisemitism on college campuses and elsewhere amid a rise in discrimination toward Jewish people following the terrorist attacks in Israel last October.

The Biden administration rolled out the new measures to coincide with Holocaust Remembrance Day. President Biden will mark the day by delivering remarks at a ceremony hosted by the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.

@humphrey

It’s basically the, "first they came for…"

https://www.rt.com/news/597066-israel-destroyed-western-universities/

To that end, the US Congress has just passed a new bill broadening the definition of anti-Semitism on university campuses to include “targeting of the state of Israel, conceived as a Jewish collectivity.” How about another law banning criticism of Iran because it’s a collective of Muslims? Or of Russia because it’s a collective of Orthodox Christians? Or of China because it’s a collective of Buddhists? Can’t have that, because it would enable the state in question to act with carte blanche impunity by scaring critics into silence.

Remember when the left cheered Alex Jones being banned from twitter instead of them standing against censorship for anyone? She points out that they cheered when right wing talkers were cancelled nor did they object to all our rights being cancelled over a virus and they wanted anti jabbers arrested, starved, have their children removed, ect. Why act so surprised when your rights are taken away when you didn’t give a crap when others had theirs taken away.

No I don’t believe that there is any delay in weapons to Israel. If you want to get their attention and make them mind you then tell them that you won’t protect them at the UN. You will let the ICC give Netanyahu his arrest warrant. Won’t protect you next time Iran sends missiles…..

Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.

Voting is like driving with a toy steering wheel.

in approving and sending long range ATACMs to Ukraine was exposed as a fraud when they were finally approved and revealed the missiles were already in theater.
The "delay" was just a mechanism to determine whether there would be extreme blowback from the general public.
Finding little or none, launches began even before approval.
