500th US airlift of arms to Israel sparks more protests
As Israel's genocide in Gaza nears its 11th month, pro-Palestinians continue to rally and demand that President Joe Biden and vice president Kamala Harris stop arming Israel.
The Biden administration just sent its 500th airlift of weapons to Israel since October 7, combined with over 100 shipments by sea; that's nearly two arms deliveries every single day, undermining Democrat claims that they are genuinely working for a ceasefire.
I am regretfully a veteran of the US Navy, and part of the reason that I'm out here today is that I fully understand that the genocide that is occurring in Palestine, the expansion of violence and death making and destruction of civil infrastructure in the West Bank, none of this could be happening without the full support of the United States military.
So whether it's the direct shipments of weapons, whether it's a diplomatic cover, whether it's the huge amount of the US fleet that is currently deployed around Israel to be able to defend Israel against the repercussions that they would otherwise be facing for the genocide that they're conducting, This is all happening because of US actions.

The protest was held on the National Labor Day holiday, and it was the first demonstration since Palestinian Americans spearheaded massive rallies against the Democratic National Convention.
You know, we were happy with the DNC, hoping to have a speaker, but that didn't happen.
But every day, it's like watching the black mirror. You can't believe the atrocities that go on. It's like they outdo themselves every day.
It's such a shame that our government supports them and turns such a blind eye to the atrocity of Israel over all these years, from 1948 and beyond.

Vice President Kamala Harris, recently installed as the Democratic Party's presidential candidate in this November's election, has made it clear that she unconditionally supports Israel.
I don't think Kamala Harris, if she wins and becomes the President of the United States, will do any good for the Palestinians or the Middle East; she will work in favor of Israel.

US Arms shipments have allowed Israel to murder over 40,000 Palestinians and render Gaza uninhabitable.
However, there are increasing admissions by senior American officials and top US media outlets that Israel has not come close to defeating Hamas.
A retired Israeli general, Yitzhak Brik, recently wrote in Israel's Haaretz newspaper that the invasion is so unsuccessful that “If the war of attrition against Hamas and Hezbollah continues, Israel will collapse within no more than a year.”
