What is Biden’s definition of a genocide then? I am seriously curious.
Because many people that are leaving his cabinet, they seem to think it is a genocide.
Students seem to think it’s a genocide.
The public thinks it’s a genocide.
The Jewish and Israeli population think it is a genocide.
So… everyone else is wrong then?
Ah, Lindsey graham, still giving idiots around the world hope that they too could be a US senator one day.
We have 2000kg guided munitions now, we don’t need to nuke Gaza. As barbaric as that seems, we really have moved on pass nukes.
Nuking Gaza would mean radiation for everyone else. Including Israel. Generations of Jewish people would battle cancer for 2-4 generations.
They are children you bloody nutter. What is seriously the worst thing a 6 year old can do that would warrant a nuke? Unless you have blueprints of a cyborg-ninja 6 year old, I don’t want to hear it.
Waste of US resources and good will for… nothing?
Rick Scott, Fucking Rick Scott. That is still posting election lies, nominating Trump, denying Global warming, and the single reason the cruise industry has been able to skirt environmental laws.
He’s done nothing for his state of Florida and expects to have a signature like he represents them.
May that Ghoul rot for 1000 years more.
Something happened to CNN after fox news had to pay 878 million dollars from the dominion lawsuit.
They went from pure left wing commentary, to giving trump a platform to spread more lies.
Then they just started running with it.
Now they are stuck with left wing staff, required to argue for right wing talking points for their right wing audience.
I hope more facts come out about the situation. There hasn’t been much credible evidence published yet. It feels very reactionary for something we can amount to finger pointing.
Which is to obfuscate the fact that people are starving in Gaza, and shutting off food aid will not make that situation better.
“The IDF has taken action and will continue acting to identify misconduct and behavior that does not align with the expected morals and values of IDF soldiers,” it said in a statement sent to CNN.
The problem is, this kind of behavior aligns perfectly with:
In one video, a soldier is seen going through a woman’s wardrobe, including her underwear, making derogatory, sexist remarks about Arab women.
A photo shared online shows a soldier standing next to a Hebrew sign spraypainted on a wall in Gaza that says: “Instead of erasing graffiti, let us erase Gaza.”
The Israeli soldier looks directly into the camera, then turns around and sets a pile of food supplies on fire. “We turn on the light against this dark place and burn it until there is no trace of this whole place,” he says as another soldier fuels the flame.
I couldn’t be more disgusted with where my tax dollars are going.
If you are wondering who is the commission, the United Nations has a good overview on their past and accomplishments.
They all don’t have a history of Anti-semitism, as claimed, but more along the lines such as:
These guys are no joke, they have done this before. But more importantly, the comment that got them suspended?
“We are very disheartened by the social media that is controlled largely by, whether it is the Jewish lobby or it is specific NGOs, a lot of money is being thrown into trying to discredit us,” he said in the interview.
But above all that, the excuse that Israel is using is:
When asked by The Times of Israel what these claims were based on, Haiat said, “The commission of inquiry is there to investigate Israel without any time limits, unlike any other commission of inquiry from the UN system.
Keep in mind, not even the investigation team knows how long it will take, so of course there won’t be a time frame. And they work for the UN, why do they need one?
do you have empathy for those killed on oct 7? do you have empathy for those crammed in shelters due to indiscriminate or blatant attacks on civilians by hamas? while their rockets may not be precision accurate, the ballistic characteristics alone offer enough accuracy to avoid them dropping in the middle of population centers in israel. do you have empathy for that?
We call this multi-tasking, but yes. Generally one can feel empathy for more then one party, it isn’t a zero sum game.
empathy goes out the window after what happened oct 7. i watched the twin towers fall on 9/11 in new york. there was no talk of empathy. from anyone. but i heard a few comments about the world needing a reminder of what a nuke can do.
It is a shame people only watched our rage, and didn’t learn the lesson 10 trillion dollars later, and all our hard work evaporating in 3 days.
Hypocrite that I am, fool I am not. Learn from our mistakes or be doomed to repeat them.
we are beyond empathy here. eliminating hamas and their underground infrastructure requires the tactics israel is using.
I disagree, there are better methods, more informed methods, safer methods for sure, if we thought about this any other way beside treating bombs like magic pixie dust that makes problems disappear.
legitimate targets among civilians and human shields, THAT IS THE WAR CRIME HERE.
Like when Israel bombed a refugee camp to get a single Hamas Leader?
Oh, maybe you meant when Hamas targeted the preschools on Oct 7?
There are no saints in this war.
you deal with that by attacking anyway and demonstrate to the enemy that tactic does not work and will not be tolerated.
Hamas, seems to be doing fine, it’s the people of Gaza that have to take the hits. Also not a warm idea for the hostages you’ve doomed to death.
the situation is beyond the point of tiptoeing around world opinion and rose-colored glasses wearing people like you.
Empathy, the word you are looking for is called Empathy.
any org that employs the tactics hamas has used should be wiped out.
Agreed, use better tactics, aim, and FFS stop hitting the children.
unlike what you see here…
what you see here is propaganda.
Propaganda for better solutions that don’t involve bombing city blocks because one gang thug had an RPG outside a hospital.
Maybe I am not comfortable with Israel’s aim
Maybe I am not comfortable with killing children and teenagers for the sins of a gang of thugs.
Maybe I am not comfortable with killing civilians if it is going to lead to a broader war.
Either way, what really irks me, is that everyone is okay with it. If this happened in any other place in the world, we would be clawing bloody murder, but because it happens in un-wealthy Gaza. I am a propagandist?
Guess it’s okay to kill kids so long as they are poor and (possibly) Muslim? What kind of propaganda are you spewing?
However, Sanad’s investigation shows that this is simply the access hatch for a water reservoir that the hospital uses to fill therapeutic pools for amputees, water the grounds, and a reserve water source in case of emergency.
Sanad analysed satellite footage and archives of the hospital’s construction and spoke to one of the original engineers who built it.
It’s pretty in depth.
However I have two problems with this logic.
Israel did not confirm the existence of tunnels at that location, which would have been an easy thing to do with a camera and 2 minutes.
This isn’t exactly proof that those areas weren’t repurposed for tunnels. Just that what Israel thought was a tunnel was not. Which is more of a problem of how the Israel military is assuming too much and bombing people in the process. While processing their assumptions like fact.
Dare I google into the unknown and ask the void what the hell is a hexbear?
Hitting the breaks on this whole mess is the first step. I will most certainly not call this a victory for just beginning.
But at least now the people in power understand that this is a problem. Versus the previous mindset of:" kill all humans, full speed ahead."
But during some of those conversations, managers have told staffers they should not expect to influence U.S. policy on Israel-Palestine regardless of their national security chops, according to five current and one recently departed State Department officials who talked to HuffPost.
Keep in mind, that Biden has asked for a humanitarian cease fire in Gaza. This information is like fresh of last night, so I don’t expect news agencies to catch up fast.
It looks like Biden is lagging behind public opinion on this one, but he is turning course.
What that means going forward will depend on how much aid is let in Gaza by Israel.
They’re mad because she Criticized the Israel government spending 2 billion for no extra protection.
But the facts speak for themselves. She was beaten when she first arrived. Received medical care afterwards. Had to be released at the Egypt boarder, because Israel wasn’t negotiating with them.
But you don’t have to take my word for it, take Israel’s.
Israel won’t negotiate with Hamas on hostages now, will remove it from power
National Security Council head Tzachi Hanegbi said on Saturday that there are no active negotiation efforts underway by Israel to repatriate the Israelis and some other foreign nationals kidnapped by Hamas last Saturday, saying “there is no way right now to have a negotiation” with the terror organization.
I would say they are in the middle of a war, but these are some rookie mistakes for 5 billion a year.
Ukraine’s funding disappeared as one of the concessions for the 45 day funding bill while republicans pick a new speaker.
I think Zelensky is trying to play this smart because it ties something he needs (military funding) to something republicans need to support (Israel)
Whether or not he agrees with it doesn’t matter, because as a leader this is the best move for him to get funding back.
Forgive me, but I find it hard to believe that our 2 billion budget for Israel, combined with modern range detectors cannot produce a result that doesn’t require us to boil/roast civilians alive. But that just might be the optimistic side of me.
I am not saying you are not right, just that if we really wanted to put our heads together to find a solution, I think we could have come up with something that doesn’t border the literal definition of a war crime.
I know right?
But I support the evidence to my case that the undersea cable is made of… quite a durable material. That would be extremely hard to cut with and sealife teeth, and flexible enough that it wouldn’t catch on just anything.
The oil pipline is a whole other matter, because unlike the cable, it is huge and made of highly durable materials like steel and is extensively robust. The Force required to move something like that would have to be a cargo transport. Not impossible… just extremely unlikely it wasn’t deliberate.
Now when you take into account the durability of the cable and the pipeline, and the fact that both failed, at the same time. Not to mention, we still do not know if both of these things are in the same place. Also possible.
I present my evidence that the likelihood of such an event being accidental, without human intervention to be… astronomical. I will now accept any criticism.
Hmmm…
There is always the possibility of human error. And it isn’t like it hasn’t happened before.
Though outside a cargo transport, I cannot imagine anything that could do that kind of damage with an anchor alone.
However, if this is true, then a person in charge of the investigation would have a lead, he would just have to triangulate cargo ship transponders that were over that part of the ocean at that time the pipeline was showing failures and you have which ship could be responsible.
That being said, if no ship transponders were active over that part of the Ocean, we are now in deeply suspicious territory.
The cable on the other hand would be really hard to catch just because of the way anchors are designed. Won’t say it isn’t possible. Just extremely unlucky if it did happen that way.
Fucking hell. What monsters would propose ending food programs across the world just so one man can sit in power during a genocide?
He’s a man, he can be replaced, he will be replaced eventually. Why are we going to piss off every country with a conscience for this goblin of a man with the military and political brainpower of a bowling pin?
Only thing this will do is fuel animosity towards the US.
