US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller stated today that the United States condemns the Israeli argument that the murder of more than 30,000 Palestinians, including women and children, is a "fair price" in the occupation's alleged attempts to "eliminate Hamas."

When asked if it is a "fair price" during a press briefing, he answered "No, and we do not want to see any civilians killed. We made that absolutely clear."

....But Biden says

In an interview for The New Yorker published on March 4th, US President Joe Biden seemed to be oblivious to his surroundings as he told the world that he believes "Israel" has to "give this just a little bit of time" exactly as the death toll in Gaza surpasses 30,534 lives martyred by the US-funded brutal genocide in Gaza. 

Biden tried to justify "Israel's" crimes by saying that "the pressure on the [Israeli] leadership to move with every ounce of capacity against Hamas is real."

However, in a glimpse of fake hope Biden has been injecting into the public, he alleged that "I think you’re going to see—I’m praying you’re going to see—a significant downturn in the use of force."

Still, with that being said, Biden claims, "I don’t want to see any Palestinians killed—I think that it’s contrary to what we believe as Americans," but how is that even possible while knowing, clear as day, that the billions of dollars supplied to "Israel" are being used to murder thousands of women and children in Gaza under the guise of "Hamas shields"?

Even more contrary to what he said, the US has also been vetoing every resolution in the United Nations Security Council that calls for a ceasefire in Gaza.

US prepares new arms shipment to 'Israel': Reports

The Biden administration was getting ready in mid-February to provide additional bombs and weaponry to "Israel", expanding its military capabilities, despite alleged "ongoing efforts by the US to facilitate a ceasefire in Gaza", according to sources cited by The Wall Street Journal.
 
As per the information provided, the planned delivery encompasses approximately a thousand MK-82 bombs, along with fuses and JDAM guidance kits that are supposed to enhance the precision of the munitions. The total value of this package is estimated to be in the tens of millions of dollars.
 
A US official, as quoted by the newspaper, mentioned that the proposal is currently undergoing an internal administration review and might undergo changes before being submitted to the congressional committee chiefs for approval.

The report also references an evaluation of the proposal by the US Embassy, stating that the Israeli government is pursuing "rapid acquisition of these items for the defense of Israel against continued and emerging regional threats."

US supplied 'Israel' with 1-tonne bombs used in Jabalia massacre: NYT

The United States supplied "Israel" with bunker buster bombs with almost one tonne of explosive warheads that were used to commit at least one known large massacre in Jabalia in October, The NYT said in a report on Friday citing US officials.

This notable increase in arms provision, consisting of about 15,000 bombs and 57,000 artillery shells, commenced following the October 7 Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, and has been ongoing since, the newspaper pointed out.

Among these, the delivery of 100 BLU-109 bunker-buster bombs, each weighing 2,000 pounds (~900 kg), marks a significant escalation not previously disclosed by Washington.
