Biden Warns Israel Not to Occupy Gaza
(www.nytimes.com)
Stop funding it.
It's this part.
We're telling them they've gone too far, seeing rules... and giving them weapons. Are we giving them seasons so they listen?
And if they don't listen, doesn't this make us complicit and with exceedingly poor intensional optics?
They know that the worst that will happen is a stern warning. "Don't do that again, but it was justified. But don't do it... OK, just a little bit, but still."

How much Israeli money do you reckon went into the pockets of members of the fascist "freedom" caucus?

Biden: "For fuck's sake, Israel, don't do something this monumentally stupid."
No points for guessing what comes next.
Is it ethnic cleansing?
Oh boy!
"Here I go killin' again!"
That's been happening for decades and just last week they starting displacing 1MM more. So I don't think "next" is the right word.

Or what?
Edit: FYI I'm not supporting Israel doing this
Or they'll give them even more money and say some angry things about it.

Massacring civilians is fine, but occupying is a bridge too far, I guess.
I definitely get your point here, but a ground invasion would be irreversible. They would never leave Gaza
Death is kinda irreversible too

warehouse workers ask Jeff Bezos not to travel by private jet
I mean, the US does have access to the money and weapons faucet Israel relies on.
Israel won't even need to occupy Gaza after they carpet bomb whats left of it into rubble. 😒

Yeah, what will he or the Democrats do when Israel does occupy Gaza?
Continue to provide unequivocal support and money to Israel?
It's not like they'll do anything else like officially recognize Israel has been acting as a apartheid state causing mass human suffering which in turn grew more mass suffering and conflict.
Don't you dare cross this line!
Ok don't cross this line!!
Ok don't cross THIS line!
Ok I'm going inside, if you knock, I'm not coming out.

After decades of turning blind eye towards Israel's crimes, suddenly Murica thinks it's going too far.
“I think it’d be a big mistake,” Mr. Biden told “60 Minutes” on CBS in a conversation taped on Thursday and aired on Sunday night. “Look, what happened in Gaza, in my view, is Hamas and the extreme elements of Hamas don’t represent all the Palestinian people. And I think that it would be a mistake for Israel to occupy Gaza again.” But “taking out the extremists” there, he added, “is a necessary requirement.”
I'm not sure how anyone is taking this as a controversial take. Logistically, practically, and the urgent bloodthirst for revenge make this fucking hard to do. But this seems to me to be a pretty even keeled non polarizing take on a complex situation where there is justification for military action against a terrorist group, and that military action must be measured against the safety and needs of a civilian population.

It's ok I told the angry pitbull to not attack the baby I slathered in steak sauce. Anyway, off to golf.
The US is sending mix signals. Biden condemns Hamas, calls them terrorists, and funds the iron dome. Of course Israel thinks they have carte blanche in the region. Surrounded by hostile nations, what other nations in the world acts as aggressive as Israel. They do it because they know they have the full backing of the US. The question is will we live in a world without any Palestinians in the middle east soon - coz that's where we're headed.
Israel misspelled their defense system. Should be called the irony dome.
I agree with you. But I'd like to add this. I live in Israel at the moment, I'm not Israeli but I moved here for my job. I live in a pretty safe area, but we still had rockets coming from Gaza and from up north Hezbolla. They were explicitly targeting civilian areas. But iron Dome and the other system, David something intercepted it. Perspective on life changes when you see a flying missile heading your way only to get intercepted by these systems. The area where I live is full of Arabs, Jews, immigrant from Eastern Europe etc. and had several pro-palastine rallies in the past couple of days, and I stand with them. Also, There have been at least 5 to 6 Hamas strikes every hour since last week, they are targeting everywhere around Israel and iron Dome is on full protection.
I just wanted to add, I don't know what for..
