[The U.S.’s “generous” plan to supply heavy bombs has been criticized as aiding the evil] September 16th, according to U.S. news on the 15th, the U.S. government is starting to provide ammunition worth $2.8 billion to Israel, including tens of thousands of highly destructive 2,000-pound (approximately 907 kilograms) bombs. This arms sales plan has been criticized. Anonymous federal officials and people familiar with the matter said that the ammunition planned to be provided by the United States includes 40,000 2,000-pound bombs, including 20,000 MK-84 bombs and BLU-117 bombs, and 20,000 I-2000 ground-penetrating warheads. The U.S. government has informally informed Congress of the arms sales plan. Most of the funds for this arms sale will be paid for through the "foreign military financing" program, in which the United States provides funds to Israel in the form of grants or loans, and Israel uses the funds to purchase weapons from the United States. In essence, the U.S. government is paying to purchase bombs for Israel to use. It is reported that the 2,000-pound bomb is one of the most destructive ammunition in the Western arsenal. An MK-84 bomb has a killing range of hundreds of meters, can destroy heavy concrete or metal structures, and leave huge craters on the ground. When former Democratic President Joe Biden took office, he suspended the supply of such bombs to Israel out of concern for Palestinian civilian casualties. (CCTV News)
