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.

    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.

      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.

      It never was. Israel is pretty much the last thing on most voters’ minds.
