Israeli forces clashed with Hamas militants across the Gaza Strip on Saturday, the Israeli military said, deepening its engagement in the decimated enclave even as the Palestinian death toll from relentless airstrikes in 12 weeks of war soared higher.
The Gaza Health Ministry reported Saturday that 165 people had been killed in Israeli airstrikes and artillery attacks in the previous 24 hours, adding to the ministry’s toll of more than 21,500 people killed in Gaza since the war began with the Oct. 7 Hamas-led raids into Israel.
Which “US pressure” was that? When they vetoed the UN resolution? Or when they bypassed Congress to hand the IDF even more munitions with which to murder even more Palestinians? Or when they did it again, because apparently the IDF wasn’t able to murder enough Palestinians with the arms they’d already gotten?
Sort of like applying “pressure” to a friend to diet by taking them to a buffet and saying, “Eat up! It’s on me!”
And not coincidentally, exactly as effective.
Look, it’s a “diet” buffet, okay? that makes it okay, because, it’s all just health food. So what if I have eight plates of the stuff? stop judging me!
