White House “deeply concerned” about civilian casualties after the IDF said it had struck a command room that terror operatives set up at a Gaza City school where displaced Palestinian civilians were sheltering
As long as they’re deeply concerned.
Maybe they’ll delay the next shipment of weapons by five minutes while they feel that concern.
The real answer is an arms embargo, until Israel is no longer an apartheid state. One state, full rights for all.
Arms embargo is part of it for sure. But more would need to be done. Sanctions, peace keepers, and embargos would be a good first step.
So they can buy them from Russia and China instead, without any of the stipulations that the US requires? That’s a very quick way to make Palestine disappear off the planet, while also losing a powerful ally to hostile states.
What in the ever living fuck are you talking about?
Let Israel align themselves with those countries, it’ll be their political decline on the world stage. “Stipulations”
Israel is only powerful because the united States government supplies them with arms and protection.
One state solution.
Believe it or not, this is still Israel restraining itself. A full arms embargo would guarantee that they wipe Palestine off the face of the earth. This is not an opinion, it is an objective geopolitical fact.
Edit: This would also likely lead to Israel selling weapons to Russia to use against Ukraine. Their domestic weapons industry is massive.
Great, now fucking do something about it. Tots and pears is just as effective here as it is when a school is shot up. Fix it ya fuckwits.
Literally anything. It seems “They’ve tried (almost) nothing, and they’re all out of ideas!” This is such a mind-boggling fuckup from Biden. Probably the biggest of his presidency.
Israel is run by out-of-control extremists and racists (much like T**** regime). Who will justify any killing, because “they’re in danger” (also sounds familiar). Biden is seemingly vetoing his own advisors, as Netanyahu continually kills civilians, Israeli hostages, and chance after chance at a ceasefire.
I really hope Harris has a more intelligent approach. It wouldn’t take much.
“Deep concern” is as effective as “thoughts and prayers” when you supply unlimited funds and support to the genociders.
Seriously. This is such a shit situation.
The U.S. is between a rock and a hard place with Israel being the only friendly foothold in the Middle East with ports. Which enables a ton of power projection over “things” the U.S. cares about.
But then Israel is now an entity that we don’t want to associate with. But we can’t just let them shit the bed and allow a multi-state war with nuclear powers to take place either.
The later will hurt the U.S. in tangible ways, for decades to come.
So what do you do? Do you knowingly cause damage the security interests of country, or do you follow the social/societal expectations that we don’t just fucking kill innocent civilians and let Israel eat the lunch they made… Indirectly enabling a war which you will get drug into regardless?
Shit sucks, everywhere. And Israel are being the baddies, while the U.S. is enabling it.
Obviously not concerned enough to stop it.
I’m kind of curious as to where Biden will draw the line.
I mean, seriously. Netanyahu has strung him along on the ceasefire and everything else, including lying to Biden’s face, while bombing civilians.
At what point, do you look at the “leash” our aid represents and start yanking?
