Usually the US could just bully through for them. This time South Africa stood up. Erdogan has plenty of blood on his hands but also is a NATO country and stood up. The most interesting thing is how they felt so confident the US would squash anything, they said the quiet part out load and have made South Africa’s case very compelling.
That another medical facility bombed didn’t even make the headline is so telling. How is this not even a problem anymore?
On Christmas Day, it is time to reflect on what Christ would have wanted. I doubt bombing the descendants of his friends and family would be it.
Heartbreaking
How many journalists need to be assassinated before others notice a trend.
There are many Christian Palestinians. Where do you think the oldest churches in the world are.
With Kissinger gone, Biden can carry the torch.
When will the world realize this isn’t about Hamas. Hamas doesn’t govern the West Bank. This is ethnic cleaning. Racial/religious hate. Some day we will be ashamed that we gleefully cheered for this. Killing Christians and Muslims because they worship idols is wrong.
There is an old trope for sure, but the media censorship is also true. There is actual media manipulation that is not based on a racist stereotype but on propaganda to cover up atrocities.
Uhhh, yeah, that’s what a ceasefire is. You ask both sides to stop.
Wake me when Bernie calls for a ceasefire and a diplomatic solution.
I understand that but we also know what the trident middle system on that ship can do and what it carries. That single sub out-powers most countries.
While I understand it is nuclear powered, I also assume it has a full payload. Even if not. The optics after an Israeli minister says there are no civilians and nukes are on the table aren’t good for us to be engaging like this. He may have been suspended, but the rhetorics right now are not acceptable.
Instead of pushing for a solution, we move nukes??? It’s time to push back on the military industrial complex and get diplomats working.
And the US and UK give unconditional support.
And instead of ships with aid, we have warships within view.
Yes, a 14.6 billion dollar arms pledge for Israel and a 100M pledge for aid for Gaza. The first trucks went on Saturday. 500 trucks a day normally pass and the US vetoed the ceasefire resolution to allow aid in so the trucks are barely moving, maybe 20 per day. What will the aid be worth when people starve. Woman having babies without hospitals, cancer centers out of drugs, people being operated on without anesthesia. Biden’s language has been inflammatory and encouraging this tragedy to expand. Compared to Obama, Clinton, or Carter, I can’t even recognize Biden as a Dem.
You post in a lot of these. You do know that the Israelis have banned reporters? It would be good to have the NYT or anyone else there to document, I agree. Why aren’t they allowed in to document should be the question. Drone footage shows almost half the buildings leveled. When almost half of a city that had millions of people, over a million kids, how many do you think might die.
Biden is sending bombs to Israel, does that count… shameful on us.
This is I believe the third verified example of this I have seen, one were Israeli hostages. One time is a mistake, this is not. This is the same country that has a directive that will order the military to kill their own citizens.
