    Wouldn’t want to be imprecise and accidentally hit a Hamas member while targeting all those pesky journalists and their family members

    Wow, so instead of giving stuff to Ukraine, which actually does their level best to avoid civilian targets in their war, we give them to Israel, which does… well… whatever they fuck they’re doing, they don’t give a single shit about civvies.

    It’s good the US is providing precision bombs at least so they can minimise collateral damage when they do strikes on journalists.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    WASHINGTON, Nov 6 (Reuters) - President Joe Biden’s administration has informed the U.S. Congress that it is planning a $320 million transfer of precision bombs for Israel, a source familiar with the plan said on Monday.

    The Wall Street Journal first reported that the administration sent formal notification on Oct. 31 to congressional leaders of the planned transfer of Spice Family Gliding Bomb Assemblies, a type of precision guided weapon fired by warplanes.

    Citing correspondence it viewed, the Journal said weapons manufacturer Rafael USA would transfer the bombs to its Israeli parent company Rafael Advanced Defense Systems for use by the Israeli defense ministry.

    Earlier on Monday, the United Nations said Gaza is becoming a “graveyard for children,” amplifying demands for a ceasefire as Palestinian health authorities said the death toll from Israel strikes had exceeded 10,000.
