On the same day as Israeli forces carried out a hugely controversial and horrific killing of seven international aid workers for food charity World Central Kitchen in Gaza, the Biden administration approved yet another transfer of thousands of bombs to Israel.
The sale reportedly includes several thousand bombs, including over 1,000 MK-82 500-pound bombs, over 1,000 small-diameter bombs, and fuses for MK-80 bombs.
The small-diameter bombs approved in the sale are at least 'comparable,' if not identical, to the type of munition that struck the aid convoy.
The weapons transfer approval stands despite reports that Israeli forces deliberately targeted the aid convoy carrying the workers, including a U.S.-Canadian dual citizen.
