JVP blames the Biden administration for "actively assisting" the occupation in the genocide, especially following its decision to resume the transfer of 500-pound bombs to the IOF.

The US-based Jewish Voice for Peace declared that "Israel" is carrying on with its genocide against Palestinians in Gaza with full support from the US.

In a series of social media posts on Tuesday, it stated that the genocide has entered its 10th month and “is accelerating with full support from the US". 

The organization further blamed the Biden administration for "actively assisting" the occupation in the genocide, especially following its decision to resume the transfer of 500-pound bombs to the IOF.

"The US isn't just allowing the Israeli [regime] to commit genocide; it's actively assisting it. It's well past time for a weapons embargo," the group said.

In early May, President Biden decided to suspend a weapons shipment to the Israeli occupation, which included 1,800 2,000-pound bombs and 1,700 500-pound bombs, due to concerns about the IOF invading Rafah, though the focus was on the 2,000-pound, as they were deemed inappropriate for use in such a densely-populated area.

US gave in to Israeli demands

After a series of talks, the US buckled under the pressure and gave in to the demands of the Israeli occupation, reaching an agreement to release the 500-pound bombs independently from the 2,000-pound bombs.

An Israeli official said the 500-pound bombs would be delivered after the conclusion of the Israeli occupation's invasion of Rafah, which is expected to end in a week. The Israeli occupation forces allege these bombs are essential in case of an escalation with Hezbollah on the northern front with Lebanon.

This came a day after US Secretary of State Antony Blinken informed two senior Israeli officials about the "unacceptably high" number of civilian casualties caused by "Israel's" attacks on the besieged Gaza Strip, his spokesperson Matthew Miller told reporters.

Asked about US weapons supplied to "Israel", Miller merely responded, "We are incredibly troubled by the ongoing deaths of Palestinians in Gaza."

It is worth noting that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to visit Washington and address the US Congress on July 24.
