Here’s some commentary about this story.
Reuters just reported exactly what kind of bombs the US has been sending Israel.
Biden sent fourteen thousand 2,000-pound bombs – more than all other types combined.
These bombs destroy whole city blocks.

The 14,000 2,000-pound bombs were just a fraction of the bombs that the US provided Israel.

These bombs were obviously provided so that Israel could level Gaza and kill as many Palestinians as possible. The US and the Jews who really run the US government are just as much to blame as Israel is for the mass death and destruction done to Gaza. In fact, you could argue that they are more to blame because without this material assistance, Israel would not have been able to commit these horrible atrocities.
The idea that the US cares about limiting civilian casualties is total bullshit when you consider the types of weapons they were providing. The people involved with all of this fully deserve to be sent to the pits of hell.
