Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Israel Acquires 25 Boeing Fighter Jets, Paid For by U.S. as Part of “Aid” Package

HeadlineNov 08, 2024

On Thursday, Israel’s military said it had secured 25 next-generation F-15 fighter jets from Boeing. The $5.2 billion deal is part of a larger U.S. funding package to Israel approved by Congress and provided by the Biden-Harris administration. Many Gaza residents fear Donald Trump’s election won’t bring an end to the flow of weapons that have laid waste to much of Gaza.

Walid Abdul Wahab: “Biden sent a lot of weapons, rockets, bombs, you know. Those weapons helped the Israeli occupation do their disgraceful acts to the Palestinian people, and the Gazans especially.”
