jesus, what an extremely late understatement

Biden slams the Palestinian genocide as "a little too much".

Judge a man by his actions, not by his words.

I hope the ICJ takes the US, UK, Germany and other genocide enablers to the trial too.

“There are a lot of innocent people who are in trouble and dying,” the president said in a session with reporters.

Gee, then maybe you shouldn't have cut funding to the biggest single relief agency in the area just because Israel told you to (archive part 1, part 2), you fucking clod

e; Six pages of evidence (archive) about 12 people in an organization of 13000 that we probably didn't even see (archive) and a bunch of disinformation from Israeli mouthpieces was all it took

Biden is SO CRITICAL of Israel that he's ready to send them BILLIONS more dollars without Congressional Approval! THAT will teach Israel to STOP!

Next he will tell them to knock it off. That will show them for sure.

“over the top” is a bit tame in my opinion. i would frankly go as far as to say what they’re doing is “not cool”, maybe even “uncalled for”

Stop talking and pull the aid. Nothing Biden says on the subject matters while he's still sending them aid.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

Also, he should reinstate funding for UNRWA and stop aiding the IDF effort to starve everyone in Gaza (*also applicable here in Canada and several other countries). Even if the Israeli allegation that UNRWA staffers are all Hamas-affiliated was true, we're talking about fucking food, medication, and survival essentials for 95% of the world's most starved people (up from 80% as of recently).

I suppose a bowling ball is perhaps sharper than a soggy mattress -_-

*finger wagging strengthens, stern look intensifies*

*wink* *nod* [keeps sending Israel bombs to use against civilians in Gaza]

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Now that his criticism is nice and sharp, maybe he can waggle that around in a threatening manner.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago

If stern looks killed, Bibi would still be absolutelly fine right now.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

If Bibi keeps going like this, he might get grounded, or worse without dessert!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago (2 children)

What he needs to say is, “You’ve had your fun. Stop now. If not, we’ll invade.”

[–] [email protected] 52 points 6 months ago (2 children)

No need to invade, just stop giving them new toys.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 6 months ago (4 children)

Could just demand the immediate resignation of Bibi and his government as a prerequisite for a continued alliance, but that would require a spine.

Are we continuing on the series for Biden's campaign ads?

"You all thought he was supporting genocide but look he is slapping Israel's wrist! There you go, now you can vote for him with a clear conscience"

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's not slapping their wrist, it's more like wagging his finger.

True, but at least he isn't the orange orangutan that wants to kill democracy.

It's so fucking depressing when you have these two as the most likely candidates and the only third option is so unknown that most people won't know who they are and even less vote for them.

Hell, even the NYT doesn't show de la Cruz in the running - https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/us/politics/presidential-candidates-2024.html

There was a moral imperative in 1948 & 1967 to support Israel against outside aggression who openly stated they wanted to end Israel. There’s now a moral imperative to protect Gazans and their land as was agreed to in Oslo II.

Enjoy your mess Joe, you sleepwalked into this one, crisis by crisis by believing Bibi unconditionally until very recently. Because now Egypt is getting testy:

Netanyahu’s words have also alarmed Egypt which has said that any ground operation in the Rafah area or mass displacement across the border would undermine its 40-year-old peace treaty with Israel. The mostly sealed Gaza-Egypt border is also the main entry point for humanitarian aid.

That’s a big fucking issue, if Egypt is throwing that language around I doubt Jordan is far behind them. I’ll say it again, is the alliance with Israel worth it, if it jeopardizes US relations with literally every other nation in the gulf?
