    More caution? They tied human beings (men, women, children) up and ran them over with tanks at that hospital. Let dogs eat the corpses. They're deliberately starving an entire population.

    They're not even wasting smart munitions on the populace of Gaza, saving those for the high valued Chef Andres aid worker targets.

    I mean, that's all true, but there wasn't a famine in the Gaza strip when Trump was president. Moving the embassy was just some red meat thrown to the Christian right in his party, and Biden has done exactly nothing to dissuade Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
    Travel banned a couple of settlers :meh: - meaningless symbolism at best.

    • Consulate: A consulate is a smaller diplomatic mission, usually located in a major city other than the capital, where the embassy is situated. Consulates focus primarily on providing services to their country’s citizens in the host country, such as issuing passports, providing assistance during emergencies, and helping with legal and administrative matters. They may also promote trade and economic relations between the two countries and facilitate business exchanges.


    Who the fuck do you think most of the people in a consulate are? The equivalent of state department workers, tourists who lost their passport, people who need visas. They are very specifically no-strike targets by definition.

    The fact reasonable people are even remotely trying to talk themselves into thinking Trump might do better shows how disgusting and evil Biden has been throughout all of this. The day he dies I hope people line up to piss on that piece of shits grave. Fuck him

    It’s in part because reports have come out that Trump is stating this situation needs to end. It’s worth noting that he likely has no preference to how it ends (ie. Peaceful vs scorched earth)

    There's not a hell hot enough for our main genocide denier itt. No realization that Israel feels more and more brazen to target whoever they want without consequence, even after all the fucking hemming and hawing about how aid was actually getting in because those nice Israelis were coordinating with aid groups they saw fit.

    They are getting exactly what they wanted. Now they can say “see we tried to let aid in but yall wouldn’t help”.
    And the US and most other countries will conveniently forget and ignore the fact that the aid stopped because Israel kept killing aid workers.

    All we'd literally have to do is provide escort to these people with US troops and the IDF would stop. Unless they think attacking the fucking US military is going to go well for them which..... LOL

    Which once again shows that Biden is complicit in child murder and wants the Palestinians dead as much as the Israelis

    NPR interviewed Shlomo Brom and I wanted to drive my car off a fucking bridge listening to this asshole’s answers on WCK. This shit is so incredibly fucked and it blows my mind that they aren’t even 100 years removed from the holocaust before turning around and engaging in genocide themselves.

    Here’s the interview if you want to get real pissed off:

    Israel Assures It Doing Everything Possible To Minimize Civilians

    [​IMG]
    TEL AVIV—Addressing observers concerned about the toll of the nation’s ongoing incursion into Gaza, Israeli officials assured critics Friday that it was doing everything possible to minimize civilians. “To those expressing apprehension about this war, just know that our troops are taking every effort to mitigate civilian life,” said Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, explaining that he remained laser-focused on taking the necessary precautions to reduce civilians in Gaza or prevent them entirely. “Let me be clear: Our war is against Hamas. We have explicitly instructed our commanders that they should take pains so there are as few innocent men, women, and children in Gaza as humanly possible.” Netanyahu then added that because of the unfortunate realities of war, it was always sadly possible that a few Gazans might survive.

    Its so funny that israel continues to make every zionist defender look so mindnumbingly stupid in such a swift amount of time because of how outdated and blatantly false their talking points end up being almost immediately. It must be incredibly frustrating turning yourself into knots repeating their talking points..... but I guess its only frustrating if one actually has a conscious.

    UNRWA is full of terrorists we need another independent aid organization like world central kitchen and see they're letting them through safely! Oh wait systematically and precisely bombed them too.

    Israel would never bomb a hospital! Procedes to obliterate every hospital in the region

    That post had nothing to do with defending Israel. In fact it pretty clearly states that you can’t trust Israel’s accounts of events. So congrats on burning that straw man?

    And pointed out months ago that glimmer was correct anyway in that UNRWA’s reaction was not confirmation.

    Two posts in a 24 hour period. Yes pushing it for days. :facepalm:

    And the doesn’t mean it isn’t true is precisely what to take from that article. The UNRWA guy didn’t even say it wasn’t, just said he fired first and asked questions after, which isn’t appropriate. But you keep doing you.

    Pretty fairly uneducated on this, but could the LF do anything? Seems like they don’t have anything close to the fire power to threaten Hezbollah. It’s not the 1980s, nobody in Lebanon does.

    I believe, somebody can correct me on this, that there are geographical limitations in Article 5 as to where an armed attack must take place. I don’t believe our troops getting hit in the Middle East qualifies.,
