U.S. “Deeply Concerned” After Israeli Airstrike Killed “About 100” Palestinians, Will Send $3.5 Billion More in Weapons and Military Equipment to Israel

The White House said it was “deeply concerned” about an Israeli airstrike on a Gaza City school compound on Saturday that local civil defence officials say killed around 100 people, adding to condemnation of the attack from several Arab states, Turkey, Britain and the European Union’s foreign policy chief.
The school compound in Gaza City housed displaced Palestinian families. The Gaza Civil Emergency Service, which has a credible record stating casualty numbers, said about 100 people were killed in Saturday’s strike. Israel said around 20 militants had been operating at the compound.
Video from the site showed body parts scattered among rubble and more bodies being carried away and covered in blankets.
“We are deeply concerned about reports of civilian casualties in Gaza following a strike by the Israel Defense Forces on a compound that included a school,” the White House said in a statement, adding Washington was in touch with Israel to seek more information.
Washington has faced mounting domestic and international criticism, including from human rights groups, for its military support for Israel. Saturday’s airstrike came a day after a State Department spokesperson said the U.S. will provide Israel $3.5 billion to spend on U.S. weapons and military equipment after Congress appropriated the funds in April.
I suspect that everybody at the very, very top knows how all this is intended and expected to turn out. Countries that should have gone bankrupt years ago are still borrowing however much they need for whatever anti-human, inhumane things they want to do. Wars that should have ended years ago drag on and on. Crime and suffering are enabled while security and comfort are destroyed. It’s not just to get rid of all other humans; the entire planet’s ecosystem is being destroyed. Do the top dogs (with apologies to actual dogs) really want to live out their lives in sealed burrows underground for centuries? Do they really believe that some nirvana awaits them if they succeed in killing the entire planet?
In the very end, cui bono? Humans? Aliens? Gods? And what is the bonus?
Israel has hell to pay.
