Episode notes
MOABs as Terror Weapons
- The US sending 22,000-pound bombs to Israel has no strategic military value against Hamas or Iran.
- These Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB) bombs are primarily terror weapons for population displacement.
Trump's Contradictory Peace Stance
- Trump's support for Israel, despite the use of MOABs, contradicts his "president of peace" image.
- This support is likely influenced by his Zionist advisors and donors like Miriam Adelson.
Biden's Symbolic Order
- Biden's executive order on restricting weapons sales for non-humanitarian purposes was largely symbolic.
- Existing federal statutes and international treaties already prohibit such actions, yet are consistently violated.
