“You can go on slaughtering civilians, but only for a few more days, then enough is enough ok?”
Bullshit.
I mean, it should be true.
But Biden doesn’t have that balls or the backing. He might have sold himself as “the Senate whisper” during the primary, but as soon as he won the election he started saying he can’t do anything to influence anyone else.
Even if he wanted to do the right thing, he doesn’t have the political juice to actually do it by his own admission.
I think he’s talking more about public support eroding, which will cause members of the house to have a harder and harder time justifying sending military aid to their constituents, rather than direct consequences he plans to implement.
After two years pretending to be outraged by Russia doing the exact same thing. Fuke them, they have no moral. Neither has Israel.
A lot of countries still enthusiasticly support Russia, so there’s that I guess.
We have been outraged, at least since they shot down MH 17
Shout out to the Dutch for their intelligence report on it.Doing the exact same? What? Did you forget Bucha etc.?
Didn’t Hamas invade Israel?
In 1948? No, that was the Nakba.
Fuck. That’s a depressing article

I don’t understand why they need the money… I mean, don’t they have a whole ton of modern military resources already?

If Israel falls the entire region gets glassed by nukes. They are suspected to have nearly as many as China. They are a world leader in missile tech. They won’t miss.
It’s called the Samson Plan. Russia has a similar doctrine, as probably does most nuclear powers.
Defending them via aid which, in the current war, is $1-2 billion dollars in defensive interceptor missiles already, is a good investment.
Israel is also a giant weapons rnd and live fire experiment for the US military industrial complex. They aren’t giving it up.
This is the real Politik people miss when discussing Israel and Palestine ignorant of most of the historical context.
Israel’s holocaust must be stopped.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
President Joe Biden and his top advisers are warning Israel with growing force that it will become increasingly difficult for it to pursue its military goals in Gaza as global outcry intensifies about the scale of humanitarian suffering there.
Behind the scenes, American officials also believe there is limited time for Israel to try to accomplish its stated objective of taking out Hamas in its current operation before uproar over the humanitarian suffering and civilian casualties – and calls for a ceasefire – reaches a tipping point.
In fact, there is recognition within the administration that that moment may arrive quickly: Some of the president’s close advisers believe that there are only weeks, not months, until rebuffing the pressure on the US government to publicly call for a ceasefire becomes untenable, sources told CNN.
Particularly jarring to Biden and his national security team, two sources familiar with the matter said, were Israeli airstrikes this week that targeted a refugee camp in northern Gaza, resulting in grim scenes of widespread destruction and deaths.
Biden has told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the relentless images of Palestinian women and children being pulled from rubble could start to narrow Israel’s ability to move forward with its current operation, according to senior administration officials.
And that isn’t just limited to IDF’s operation in Gaza: In a call with Netanyahu on Sunday, Biden told the prime minister he was concerned about the surge in violence against Palestinians by Israeli settlers in the West Bank and was emphatic that that the attacks had to stop, according to a source briefed on the conversation.
