Israel could not maintain its Apartheid system or its occupation without the help of the United States and Western colonial powers. It could also not continually commit massive violations of human rights, war crimes, and genocide without US assistance and weapons. Of course, the US is not the only Western nation transferring weapons to Israel. Highlighting the extent to which NATO signatories are involved, Oxfam Novib, PAX, and the Rights Forum in the Netherlands are challenging the Dutch Government's transfer of weaponry to Israel. Similarly, the UK-based human rights group Global Legal Action Network is suing the British government for arms sales to Israel.

During this last conflict alone, the US has provided Israel with 15,000 bombs and 57,000 artillery shells, 100 BLU-109 one-ton bunker buster bombs. “It seems inconsistent with reported exhortations from Secretary Blinken and others to use smaller-diameter bombs,” said Brian Finucane, a senior adviser at International Crisis Group, and a former attorney-advisor at the State Department.

It breaks down into:

• 5000 unguided MK82 bombs made by General Dynamics in Garland, Texas – for reference 4500 were used in the entire Persian Gulf War.
• 5400 MK84 bombs (General Dynamics) – 12000 dropped during Desert Storm
• 1000 GBU-39 small-diameter bombs (Raytheon) – this is a small, laser-guided bomb. The fact that Israel used one (possibly four) thousand of "precise" but 11,000-14,000 more massive and less precise bombs on Gaza should tell you something.
• 3000 JDAMs (Boeing) – a "kit" for converting dumb bombs into precision-guided munitions. Added to an MK80-series bomb, not a bomb itself. Amnesty International has documented fragments of Boeing JDAM (Joint Direct Attack Munitions) found in several ruins of residences where only civilians lived. Serial numbers indicated the bombs were manufactured in 2018.
• 100 BLU-109 (General Dynamics) – one ton bomb. There is a version called HAMMER, which is intended to destroy chemical and biological substances by spreading dozens of Kinetic Fireballs Incendiaries (KFI) (not explosions) inside a bunker.

United States law actually prohibits these weapons transfers. The Arms Export Control Act (AECA) and the Foreign Assistance Act (FAA) mandate that the U.S. Department of State and Department of Defense establish end-use monitoring protocols for arms transfers. These measures, known collectively as the Leahy Law, are supposed to ensure that the weapons are used in compliance with international law. Despite its own legal requirements, the U.S. makes an exception for Israel.

The latest arms deal for Israel from the Biden Administration not only violates these laws but Biden's own directive last February which claimed to be a model of "responsible" arms dealing:

the United States aims to serve as a model for other countries’ national policies and practices related to the responsible international transfer of conventional arms. Out of a desire to promote both norms and controls, and consistent with statutory requirements, the United States will continue to require adherence to end-use monitoring requirements. Further, when needed, the United States will conduct defense institution building to promote compliance with international humanitarian law and the law of armed conflict.

It has failed on all counts.
