US President Joe Biden has suggested that Israel’s military response in Gaza has been “over the top” and said he is seeking a “sustained pause in the fighting” to help ailing Palestinian civilians.
“I’m of the view, as you know, that the conduct of the response in the Gaza Strip has been over the top,” Biden told reporters at the White House.
He added that he had been pushing for a deal to normalise Saudi Arabia-Israel relations, increased humanitarian aid for Palestinian civilians and a temporary pause in fighting to allow the release of hostages taken by Hamas.
“I’m pushing very hard now to deal with this hostage ceasefire,” Biden said. “There are a lot of innocent people who are starving, a lot of innocent people who are in trouble and dying, and it’s gotta stop.”
He says all that, but as long as the US is enthusiastically funding the Israeli military, nothing is going to improve.
The funding needs to stop and another main objective should be to get Netanyahu out of office and in a jail cell, otherwise he will just continue, even if sanctioned.
in a jail cell
I prefer death penalty, no imaginable thing in the world can punish him for what he has done, but we should try our best. Controversial I know, but imagine if you were a Palestinian or know someone close who was, would you believe jailing him is fair? He would be out in a few months probably as well, and the jail cell would just be a quarantine in a palace or something like that
Israel has enough stockpiles to carry on regardless. If Biden were to have a moment of clarity and end the deals it would give other nations the opportunity to do something similar though.
Israel can carry on in the short term, but sure as hell not in the long term. Apartheid is inherently unsustainable, so Israel needs the rest of the world in its back in one way or another to keep Palestinians down.
Apartheid is inherently unsustainable
How long have they been sustaining it for though?
Israel has had consistent international funding since its invention. US aid alone is like 25% of their military budget.
Well if they finish (the genocide) it quick, it won’t be a problem
Good thing he wasn’t the president during WW2!
He’d have told the nazis “hey, please cool it guys! You’re going a bit overboard!” and then sent them a lot of weapons and money on behalf of his owner donors.
You know I’m starting to think this Hitler guy is not the valuable ally he seemed to be. Better wait a few months and try to nudge him in the right direction in the meantime.
Lol if anyone here is saying that the US government in WW2 acted quicker than Biden is now, it’s important to note that the US waited 2 years to join WW2.
Probably not so good an approach in retrospect. I wonder how many Jews were killed in that time
This doesn’t really work as a metaphor. Better example would be calling France manning the Maginot line against the Nazis as “over the top”.
Of course, Hamas apologists can’t help themselves making Nazi comparisons. Really betrays their true intentions for Israel.
Hamas apologists
Why say this? You understand that we can all read, right?
You know what else is over the top, you evil old fuck? Cutting off 350 million in aid to refugees because Israel lied and claimed relief workers were HAMAS.
Biden is banking on his sycophants taking him at his utterly worthless word.
Wow, that would suck if the claims against UNRWA weren’t true. Good thing that they are.
You know, aside from there being litttle merit to their claims and all. Israel is about as trustworthy as North Korea when it comes to their systematic ethnic cleansing.
But let’s assume they were telling the truth, as genocidal ethnic cleansing monsters are prone to doing.
13 employees of 30,000 were accused of aiding HAMAS. That’s 13 / 30000, or 0.0043% of the employees. Do tell me how that’s sufficient justification to bar aid for millions.
Hint: It isn’t, unless you are using it as a pretext.

I’ll take “No shit” for 500, Alex.
NSFL: You don’t say
Ty for warning… Not clicking that.
It’s not super graphic. Just a video of the IDF drone striking an ambulance 1-2 days ago. No visible blood.
It really doesn’t show anything graphic. It looks like a mortar or something hits the street right in front of an ambulance. But it cuts away so fast that you can’t tell what is going on.
A bit much I would say
