Jfc. So Biden is willing to stand by and watch yet another genocide continue.
Of all the nations who are powerful enough to do something but won't, America should know better.

Don't worry. When enough civilians will be killed, Biden will "reprimand" and write a strongly worded letter.

America is the genocidal empire dawg.

America was founded on a genocide and then 300 years of slavery, wtf are you talking about lol?

Exactly. America should have learned from its mistakes. Obviously it hasn't.

Learned from its mistakes? Lol, they've been practicing and are masters in the craft lol.

Doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results is the definition of insanity ... which is why you see America in the state it's in today.
And I still would have expected more from it than this.

America knows better but the Democrats have the wheel

I don't think Trump would do any different. In fact he would probably support Bibi even more than Biden is.

only one way to find out
Argonne@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 2y
We've already found out. You are either a Russian troll or an imbecile. Trump literally moved the embassy to Jerusalem. He would support Israel 100x more than Biden ever would

What even is the point of this article?
It's complete speculation and rage bait based on a hypothetical that hasn't happened yet and a false premise that makes the story sound atrocious.
It is not Israel's job to ensure civilian safety.
It is Israel's job to take reasonable efforts to minimize unnecessary civilian casualties and by all credible accounts they are doing that with telephone calls, text messages, and roof knocking.
If Hamas tells people the evacuation calls are a hoax, or otherwise coerces or forces people to stay behind, as they do, Israel has done all it is required to do by any standard of international law. They are prosecuting a war not hosting a tea party.

Were they doing said job when they sniped a 14 year old girl outside a hospital while she was going to get water?
JustZ@lemmy.world · -2 pts · 2y
If a sniper shot an unarmed kid at a hospital obviously that's criminal.

You can drop the if.

Okay, got a link to the story?

Israel army kills 2 Christian women in ‘cold blood’ at Gaza church compound
First thing that popped up.

Wrong! Try again, propagandist!
Maggoty@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y
Except it is. And warning people who are stuck in an area the size of a fucking airport isn't a warning it's a terroristic threat. The IDF must let aid in and must let civilians evacuate through it's lines so they can leave the combat area.

No. No. Yes and yes.
