21,000 precision guided munitions. Autumn Feb 29 #1

11,000+ sarisataka Feb 29 #4

I will bet that most of those are shot down before they reach Israel.. Autumn Feb 29 #5

But they were fired... sarisataka Feb 29 #7

Did they hit anyone or even a fucking building? Autumn Feb 29 #8

Some do sarisataka Feb 29 #9

That's silly. If Israel wasn't allowed to respond there would be a lot less dead women and children. nt Autumn Feb 29 #10

We are speaking of justifications, sarisataka Feb 29 #11

You might be speaking of your justification, I'm discussing the genocide the Palestinian people are going through.. Autumn Feb 29 #13

Must be why I haven't heard that Israel was hit with a heavy barrage of rockets causing considerable damage. Autumn Mar 1 #31

Malfunctions, Iron Dome, etc., yagotme Mar 1 #33

A failure is still a failure. We give Israel precision guided rockets that don't fail. Autumn Mar 1 #35

Austin is confused, the pentagon walked this back. Mosby Feb 29 #3

How many serious mistakes does Austin have to make before Biden takes action? Irish_Dem Feb 29 #12

Maybe he was speaking his mind. David__77 Feb 29 #18

Lying or misrepresenting facts is not speaking your mind. Irish_Dem Feb 29 #19

The administration didn't state that he did that. David__77 Feb 29 #20
