The White House on Tuesday indicated an Israeli strike that killed dozens of Palestinians in Rafah did not cross a “red line” that would lead to a change in U.S. policy.
Multiple administration officials in press briefings on Tuesday described the images out of Rafah as “heart-breaking,” “tragic,” and “horrific.” But there was no sign of an impending policy change as a result because it was an airstrike and not a major ground operation.
There is no red line. Netanyahu could literally kill and eat a Palestinian baby on live TV and nothing would change.
Especially since we know there are tanks and IDF in Rafah itself as of this weekend. So even the claim that it was “only an airstrike, not a ground invasion” seems like a flat out lie.
The article I read was shelling from tanks IN Rafah so, it is a ground strike already
Biden would say he won’t send ketchup, but then send it anyways.
No condiments for the next baby (okay maybe mayo but come on)
Biden is working hard to lose in November and I don’t understand it at all.
When did Israeli support become the most important thing in the world?
I’m at a loss here. The consequences if he loses are unthinkable. Just denounce Israel and their actions for the love of god. I know it’s a complex issue, but we can’t afford complexity at this stage of the game. Walk it back in December.
It really isn’t a complex issue. They are committing genocide. The Palestinians have faced ethnic cleansing since 1948. Israel is an ethno state and ethno states are bad.
This election should be a layup but Biden is going to fuck us all because he inexplicably loves Netanyahu. I’m voting for the asshole enthusiastically, because the republicans literally tried a coup last time, but I’m going to be pissed off at Biden for losing.
Walk it back in December.
Or, you know, don’t. That works too.
He’s a self proclaimed zionist https://www.reuters.com/world/us/i-am-zionist-how-joe-bidens-lifelong-bond-with-israel-shapes-war-policy-2023-10-21/
He seems to think anything they do is just fine and for the cause no matter how much it hurts others, the USA or even the image of Israel…
A large segment of the US population is still extremely anti-Muslim and think they are all terrorists, especially those at the center and center-right. I’ve met numerous supposed “centrist democrats” that think we should turn every Muslim country to glass.
When did Israeli support become the most important thing in the world?
It never was. Israel is pretty much the last thing on most voters’ minds.
It is extremely disappointing that the Biden administration continues to be complicit in genocide by not cutting off all military aid to Israel until they agree to and follow through with a ceasefire.
I am reminded of bugs bunny inciting yosemite sam to step over line after line, except this time it’s not funny, they’re working together, and palestine’s the one to fall off the ledge
quelle surprise …
If that didn’t cross the line, one wonders what would.
I wonder how many other US allies could get away with genecide and we’d look the other way? The list is probably pretty long, we’re weirdly cool with genecide.
Yet I remember a time we threw a hissy fit over France, to the point people wanted to call French Fries “Freedom Fries.” Wasn’t that because we were killing people in Iraq and they called us out on it? I think our country might just be pro-genecide.
Man how fucked up do you have to be that France calls you out on killing people.
And red paint isn’t red…
