Two Thousand Pound Bombs

Will someone please explain to me what is the practical use of a 2,000 pound bomb in urban warfare?

Until it is explained to me, I have to assume that the purpose is to destroy an entire multi-story apartment building, or at least to render it uninhabitable.

President Biden made a decision, announced this week, to no longer supply Israel with 2,000 lb. and 500 lb. bombs. He is also, apparently, going to embargo 155 mm howitzer and tank cannon rounds. He is applying the only form of leverage available to our government. Previous Presidents have done the same thing to signal their displeasure to Israel.

If you consider refusing to support Mr. Biden in November because of the plight of Gaza, be aware that the former guy would be immeasurably worse. He was, after all, the guy who moved the US Embassy to Jerusalem and called Democratic Jews “traitors” to Israel.

The pro-Palestinian bias of Tik Tok (which is only natural because Tik Tok is so popular in Arab countries) accounts for the striking disconnect between young American’s attitudes towards Gaza and the attitudes of adults who don’t watch Tik Tok. Remember, there are only 170 million Americans who watch Tik Tok versus 2 billion people worldwide.

You could say that the unrest on campuses is a direct result of Tik Tok and the reactions of school authorities to anti-semitic protests.
