The Great Satan Sends More Bombs and Fighter Jets to Israel

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

US President Joe Biden has authorized the transfer of billions of dollars worth of bombs and fighter jets to Israel. According to Al Jazeera’s Kimberly Halkett, the transfer “amounts to about $2.5 billion”. 

 

This latest arms packages include more than 1,800 MK84 2,000-pound bombs and 500 MK82 500-pound bombs, according to Pentagon and State Department officials who spoke to The Washington Post on condition of anonymity, as recent authorizations have not been disclosed publicly.

 

Israel's extensive use of 2,000-pound bombs, heavy ammunition capable of killing or wounding people more than 100 meters away, in Gaza strikes is linked with heavy civilian casualties, CNN reported.

 

This is not only hypocrisy but also evil. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It is true that the United States of America is the Great Satan. 

 

The colonialist, slave-built, imperialist, neo-liberal capitalist oligarchy that has slaughtered tens of millions, overthrown dozens of elected governments, has started and waged more wars than any other state. It encircles Russia and China and seeks to destroy them to maintain global domination, even if it means sacrificing millions in a world war. It spends obscene fortunes on a war machine and making massive profits while Americans go homeless, without healthcare, suffer violent militarised police, and living in a country of crumbling infrastructure and corrupt politics. A country that actively promotes separatism and extremism in competitor countries, trains and funds terrorists, fascists and Zionists. A country that operates one of the most powerful and criminal networks on earth, the CIA. A country that applies mass surveillance to its own people, persecutes journalists and whistleblowers, that condones and uses torture. I can go on and on but the above suffice.

 

Just because I haven't been blogging about Boeing doesn't mean the troubled plane has no more issues. I just got tired of reporting them. In fact, its laundry list of safety incidents is so long and seemingly never-ending that I don't believe anyone should travel in a Boeing!

 

Another United Airlines Boeing plane, another long-haul trip cut short. For the 14th time this month, one of the carrier’s planes had a safety issue that the Federal Aviation Administration have had to investigate. The flight, initially leaving San Francisco in California, USA on Thursday for Paris, France didn't even manage to leave the country, being forced to land in Denver, Colorado instead. 

 

Crew members on the Boeing 777-200 reported having an issue with one engine. Even so, the flight did not declare an emergency landing, but emergency services were standing by for the plane’s arrival as a precaution. In any case, the flight landed safely, and all 273 passengers and 12 crew members disembarked.

 

The plane this time, like in many of the other March incidents, is an older Boeing jet, a 777. The Boeing 777 was first commercially flown almost 30 years ago, in 1995, by United Airlines.

 

Obviously, delays in getting new Boeing aircraft have made things difficult for the airline. In fact, the US carrier blamed the manufacturer’s issues for a pilot hiring freeze. 

 

“We just won’t grow as fast as we thought we would in 2024 due to continued delays at Boeing”, the company said. 

 

The plethora of issues over safety of the Boeing aircraft and the surfeit of accompanying investigations in the past few months are exacting a price. On March 25, it was announced that Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun (right) would step down from the embattled plane maker at the end of the year.
