Biden administration set to greenlight $18 billion sale of F-15 fighter jets to Israel
All of this after “getting angry” with Israel
As tone deaf as this seems, F-15s don’t have any use in the Palestinian conflict right? And despite the terrible things they are doing to Palestinians, we still need support against potential treats from Russia and others via Israel, also I assume this deal was long in the making… I’m glad to be educated if I’m missing the point here
this is some hamster wheel logic to okay the sale of fighter jets to a country committing genocide
Most things in life aren’t simple and unfortunately politics always live in a grey area. Again, I don’t support anything Israel is doing in Palestine, I was just trying to understand another piece of a separate puzzle happening there
Yes, this is not about Palestine but the (planned) escalation of the war to neighboring countries.
F-15s have been modified by Israel to drop JDAMs

Oof, my grandfather, one of the lead design engineers of the F-14/15 and pilot, is probably spinning in his grave… That was never their intended use
