Oh no the imaginary Biden red line has been crossed. If only Biden didn't give israel 26 Billion dollars in weapons right before they commit this massive Genocide! Well too late now, nobody could have seen this coming!
Biden may have a strong influence here as the president, but let's not pretend he literally was the one to do all of this.
Let's also not forget Trump would be far worse. But yes, Biden is failing to help this situation, and it's bullshit.
My boy Bernie would have done so much better. Fuck the DNC and all the democrats that voted for Biden over Bernie in the primaries. What a massive mistake this was.
Biden does all of this
Could stop all of this at any time by invoking Leahy law
Actively lies that israel is not committing war crimes
Bypasses congress to sell weapons instead and uses dirty loopholes
"let's not pretend he was the one to do this".
Let’s also not forget Trump would be far worse.
Bernie "rejects ceasefire calls, says Israel must defend itself against Hamas" Sanders would have saved us!
Someone should let the U.N know about this
how's that shitty dock going?
How many refugees can Egypt or Jordan realistically take? Are they at least willing to take the children?
These two nations right now are likely most capable of saving as many lives as possible, given their proximity. Is something like this even on the table?
Why doesn't Israel take the refugees? They claim that they're targeting only hamas after all and that they care a lot about innocents, so it shouldn't be a problem, right?
Besides that, if Palestinians leave their homes then Israel will just do more illegal land grabs and settlements.
I don't think any of us would accept Israel taking the children. Obviously nobody wants a refugee crisis, but Israel would be the cause of that refugee crisis, not the solution.
Totally off the table.
Firstly Egypt and Jordan don't want to give Israel more justification to annex Gaza through the displacement of Palestinians.
Secondly, security “Cairo does not want to have a new security problem on its hands in this problematic region,” Fabiani said. Jordan has similar concerns considering they had a king assassinated by a Palestinian in Jerusalem
Clearly we don't want more annexations, I just wish somebody in the region was capable of preserving the life of children here.
You are pointing out why the refugee crisis still exists after decades. No neighboring countries will accept the Palestinians, and many don't want to leave.
Israel is clearly creating the problem, but other regional actors are using the Palestinians as pawns because they don't like Israel (and don't actually care about Palestinians dying). Larger countries like Saudi Arabia and Iran have the land and the money to give them a better life.
Iran especially doesn't care about the Palestinians. They're a different religion, as you can see in this picture:
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.
