I'm sure Genocide Joe will write a strongly worded letter over this.
Israel official response is they're sorry and this "happens in war." War crimes are also a thing that happen in war, kind of in the name.https://youtu.be/15HTd4Um1m4?si=NF6ckSfR-_-9QPnj
This is a message to anyone who dares attempt to prevent Palestinians from starving to death.I'd say it's pretty effective
Hopefully this will be a shift in policy.It won't. It's not Biden's fault at all - I'm fairly left, but I'm also a depressing realist.

Pulling funds runs the risk of a weaker Israel and opens up the possibility of foreign adversaries swooping in and becoming Israel's new best friend. This is part of the deal with the devil the US government made to ensure a strong presence in the region and there's no backing out of it. Nobody is going to jeopardize decades of coveted strategic influence on account of bleeding hearts. Those in charge are in the incredibly fucked up position where their best hope is for Israel to hurry up and finish the job so people stop talking about it earlier.
The thing though is that Israel already plays multiple sides. It's one of the leading trade partners of China which also controls parts of the Haifa port. And Bibi continually bragged about his friendship with Putin and one of Likud's largest support bases are Russian immigrants.Not really trading partners when the US imports like 70% of Israel's exports.
The US should have cut all ties with Israel back in 1967 when they murdered the crew of the USS Liberty.Dont forget, they tried to steal nuclear secrets from us as well even while being our allies. Look up Jonathan Pollard.
Israel must be demilitarized. No ifs, ands or buts. It's the country scale equivalent to how you don't let a mentally unstable person with a history of violence own a gun, even if force is necessary to remove guns from their possession, even if they claim (validly or otherwise) to have a self-defense need for it.

I want to tag FlyingEagles but turns out he had me blocked :/He's purged I think.
This sounds psychotic. Did you even spend the time to imagine what would happen if you completely disarmed Israel?Maybe Israel should have thought about that before abusing their military then.
Because thinking of what would happen and than going "Yeah, that sounds great" is psychotic.

I'm not denying that Israel has gone far to off the rails, but with stuff like this pepole look like hypocrites when they want Israel to be invaded and are out right supporting controlling it like a colony and are out right admitting we have to control the middle east because they can't control themselves.
President Joe Biden said Tuesday he was "outraged and heartbroken" by the killing of seven World Central Kitchen humanitarian workers, delivering some of his strongest criticism of Israel since the start of its war with Hamas.
"This conflict has been one of the worst in recent memory in terms of how many aid workers have been killed," Biden said in a statement. "This is a major reason why distributing humanitarian aid in Gaza has been so difficult because Israel has not done enough to protect aid workers trying to deliver desperately needed help to civilians.
"Incidents like yesterdays simply should not happen. Israel has also not done enough to protect civilians," he added.
At any rate, I'm far more concerned about the ongoing real world genocide than I am about the fantasy one Israel supporters claim (mostly using Israeli propaganda as their "evidence") will happen if Israel are forced to stop their one. We need to deal with what's actually happening now before we worry what might happen in the future.
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/biden-outraged-killing-world-central-kitchen-workers-gaza-rcna146135I'm sure he'll wait another day or two before publicly giving them weapons again. He is outraged after all.
He's outraged, guys. Who knows, another dozen or so dead humanitarian workers and he may have to consider putting effort into concealing the transfer of weapons to Israel.
You cant even criticize Biden on this board without someone saying But Trump!You already have other options. What you (collectively, not you personally necessarily) need is to realize these options exist and the only thing preventing them winning is you all refusing to vote for anything besides either the guy the Republicans tell you to vote for or the guy the Democrats tell you to vote for.
They're both bad candidates and we need better.

A vote for either of these two is, more than anything, a vote to keep that status quo of pretending other options don't exist.
Israel passed "gone to far" before any of us were born.
Biden absolutely deserves criticism on this. This topic is full of that as it should be.Yeah, someone actually made the effort to explain that in another topic. What an utterly shit system.
1824 election. More than 2 serious contenders means split vote and House picks. We need rank choice voting and ditch the electoral college for this to become a reality.
A fiasco decades in the making. To unravel the background leading up to all of this, takes a grasp of Zionism, the Ottoman Empire, the British Empire...go on

Now we have people on this board saying a vote for third party candidates is a vote for Trump. Idk how brain dead some of these people have to be to continue being two party shills, but apparently its severe.

Idk how brain dead some of these people have to be to continue being two party shills, but apparently its severe.As I mentioned (maybe in the other topic) after seeing exactly how many obstacles there are to a third party running in the US, I can sympathize a bit more with where these people are coming from, but still... I would not be able to bring myself to vote for Biden given his track record here, and I can't say I'd criticize anyone else for not doing so either (as long as they aren't instead voting for Trump).

The best hope I can see is that the threat of losing votes causes him to correct course, and thus win back those votes, and that he hopefully doesn't then pull a 180 after the election. Shit really is fucked up over there.
If Trump wins, what do you think will be his stance on Israel-Palestine? Do you think on that issue hell be the same as Biden? I think hell green light the complete annexation of Gaza at a minimum. I think hell make things even worse.He will, which is why supporting him is even worse. That doesn't mean it isn't completely understandable why a lot of people no longer want to support Biden either.
This should honestly be the moment the world turns their back on Israel. Netanyahu's bullshit response of this being war shows how little he values life.This is like the 410757864530th such moment.
