Poll: Majority of Americans oppose sending weapons, supplies to Israel

October 25, 2023 -

Interestingly, CBS News chose to downplay this key finding in its report. In the article titled "Amid concern about wider war, Americans give mixed reactions to Biden's approach toward Israel-Hamas conflict," CBS News did not prominently mention the fact that more Americans are against sending "weapons and supplies" to Israel.

Alcohol

A 70 percent isopropyl alcohol is the most effective at killing pathogens – far better at killing bacteria and other viruses than 99 percent isopropyl alcohol.

Rubbing alcohol, just like hand sanitizer, kills the germs on your hands. Alcohol immediately kills germs on contact and disinfects surfaces for hours afterward.

International human rights lawyer Dr. Francis Boyle agreed with Brighteon.com founder Mike Adams when he interviewed Boyle, saying it could be something related to the geopolitical energy dynamics.
