Biden admin and his VP Harris, has approved so much arms to {the Zionist project}, that at the near end of his term, sent $8 billion weapon sales to them during the Gazan massacres (Only beaten by his previous August 2024 deal of $20 billion.)

Compared to what, there was an agreement that $3.8 billion annually for 2019 to 2028 would be sent, by Trump's admin, albeit under peacetime

(This 3 billion deal is tragically typical of him, unless he increases it more and more, if not surpasses Biden's record, when another war in Gaza breaks out)

For now, the only thing I can say is we should count the amount of time of peace Gaza has. As for the West Bank, truly horrible what they're doing over there.
