27.000 Gazans massacred by the IDF
An unknown number of Gazans killed by disease, starvation and lack of medical care due to the genocide. Could be many times more than directly killed by the IDF
People pleading with the US government to stop supplying weapons and funding to aid in the genocide
8 People murdered by settlers in the West Bank
Biden writes an executive order about the 8 murders by settlers while continuing to support the potentially hundreds of thousands of murders in Gaza
Neoliberal establishment drones cheer as if he'd personally brokered a ceasefire and brought every murdered Palestinian back to life

Edit: updated the ever rising death toll of the IDF atrocities to current number.

And Ben-Gvir is still the National Security Minister, completely untouched.

But at least he finally took down his tribute to a mass killer that's been hanging in his home for decades. Small steps, right? I wonder if he ever gave Rabin's hood ornament back.

Quite an interesting contrast between how the US dealt with Soleimani vs. Ben-Gvir.

A step in the right direction

What pretending to do something look like.

[-] Deceptichum@kbin.social 14 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Oh those 4 people are going to regret not being able to . . . use US financial institutions. That'll stop the atrocities.

What more do you want Dark Brandon to do?

[-] Neato@ttrpg.network -1 points 9 months ago

Perfection is the enemy of good. At this point is there anything Biden could do that'd make you happy?

[-] ShroOmeric@lemmy.world 20 points 9 months ago

Perfection?! Are you serious??

Stop arming the nazis that are behind the settlers, that would make me happy sir. This is like shoot you in the face and then ask you if you need a doctor.

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 15 points 9 months ago

Maybe stop supporting Israel in this war? Maybe use the vast amounts of soft power to swing the US dick around to stop a genocide? What the hell are you even saying, this is a token response that won't matter at all. This isn't "good"

What would you have him do?

[-] hglman@lemmy.ml 20 points 9 months ago

Support a UN resolution to stop the Israeli attacks.

[+] aew360@lemm.ee -23 points 9 months ago

That’s not going to happen until is Hamas is destroyed. They fucked around knowing damn well how Israel would respond. Both have blood on their hands. All that Biden can do is urge them to not indiscriminately bomb areas with civilians. Hamas has been terrorizing Israel for decades. They’re not stopping until it’s over.

[-] timidgoat@lemmy.ca 20 points 9 months ago

Everyone including the US government knows that Hamas will survive this assault. It's not about Hamas, it never was. Hamas simply provided Israel with the excuse to carry out an ethnic cleansing that they've been wanting to do for decades.

Everyone including the US government knows that Hamas will survive this assault.

Especially since every Israeli act of genocide just radicalizes more Palestinians. Israel is literally making more Hamas even as they ostensibly try to destroy it.

[+] aew360@lemm.ee -21 points 9 months ago

That’s not true. It was Arafat who refused peace terms in the late 90s. You’re looking at this like it’s black and white.

[-] TheDankHold@kbin.social 15 points 9 months ago

You mean after the Israeli PM that brokered the deal was assassinated a staunch opponent of the deal, Netanyahu, took power and refused to follow through with the part of the agreement where they pull their illegal settlements out of the West Bank that the Palestinians are the ones who refused peace there?

You don’t get to wipe your ass with an agreement then whine when the other party abandons it. Much like their propping up of Hamas, Netanyahu’s coalition has shown time and time again that good faith negotiations is not what they’re interested in.

[-] timidgoat@lemmy.ca 10 points 9 months ago

Why are you bringing out Arafat in the 90s? Your comment lacks relevance to what you're replying to. Arafat has nothing to do with the fact that Israel wants Palestinians to leave Gaza.

[-] czech@low.faux.moe 11 points 9 months ago

Yea I think Israel knew what would happen when they armed hamas

And it's evident the're not going to stop until they've murdered all the civilians and their "settlers" (war criminals) have populated the region.

[-] ShroOmeric@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

Hamas today is as strong as ever, like every with some brain always knew.

This is not Hamas, is about genocide Palestinians and stealig their land.

[-] DarkNightoftheSoul@mander.xyz 6 points 9 months ago

That is certainly an opinion, yes.

[-] AnneBonny@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 9 months ago

He could stop bypassing congress to make emergency weapons sales to Israel.

[-] Deceptichum@kbin.social 12 points 9 months ago

While telling us he can't provide them to Ukraine, who if Russia wins will be genocided as well.

[-] ShroOmeric@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

Not sending weapons to the nazis in Israel commiting genocide. Simple as that.

[-] nonailsleft@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

Stop the genocide in Sudan

[-] Grimy@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

Don't worry bro, the bad times are over. We have sanctions in place against two individuals so the problem is basically over.

I really love how they sanctioned the literal minimum amount of people so news articles could add an s at the end of settler.

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
