14,000 one pound bombs?
14,000 bombs with a 2,000lb payload. Bit of a confusing headline (and article, considering there's no contradiction between him saying he will not do it anymore in the future and him already having done it in the past (the 14k bombs are from past shipments).
Of course there should be no shipments at all, but I don't get the point of the article.
"Biden is doing bad thing, don't vote for him!" - news outlets that have reasons for wanting Republicans to win, or care more about clickbait than news
"Don't elect this person who bombs Palestine (so this other person who will bomb Palestine more will win)!"
(and also who will ensure other brown people get bombed with extreme prejudice)
Nobody likes a shit sandwich, but since there aren't nearly enough people willing to smash the plate into someone's face, we have to choose one scoop of shit or twelve.
At least with the single scoop there's at least the possibility of changing the menu.
