    Biden administration accuses Israel of war crimes in Gaza:

    Blinken Continues to Undermine Israel: Actions Not 'Consistent With International Humanitarian Law' – RedState

    From day one, President Biden has been determined to support Israel in defending itself and trying to make sure that October 7 never happens again. At the same time, he's been very clear that in doing that, it's imperative that Israel protect civilians, and make sure that humanitarian assistance gets to those who need it. And that's what we've been doing from day one.

    The report that- that we put out, lays out some of the concerns that we've had throughout this period when it comes to humanitarian assistance, particularly the early months after October 7. And when it comes to the use of weapons, concerns about incidents where given the totality of the damage that's been done to children, women, men, it was reasonable to assess that, in certain instances, Israel acted in ways that are not consistent with international humanitarian law.


    UN says civilian deaths have been overstated, women and children by almost 50%:

    UN Revises/Reduces Gaza Death Numbers for Women, Children by Almost Half, Explanation Is Embarrassing – RedState


    While more than 9,500 women and 14,500 children were reported among the fatalities by the UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) on May 6, two days later that number was revised significantly downward. Today, under 5,000 women and 8,000 children are now officially listed by the UN as casualties.

    Part of the problem was that they were using numbers from Hamas-controlled sources. And even now, that's still what they're relying on — the numbers from the Gaza Health Ministry. Listen as the UN spokesperson tries to explain how the numbers can be so off — but hey, you can rely on them, because we're always checking on them — even though they were running with incorrect numbers.

    “In the fog of war, it’s difficult to come up with numbers,” the UN spokesperson said.

    The Biden administration continues to throw Israel under the bus using lies while protecting Hamas terrorists.

    Oh so only 13k innocent women and children killed instead of 23k? Also, do you think we're relying solely on UN figures for these decisions or maybe our intelligence agencies also have their own data?

    Stop acting like this is a cut and dry, no brainer of a decision. It's not unreasonable to get assurances that civilian casualties will be minimized.

    Of course you and anyone else are free to disagree with the approach the administration is taking, but to make Biden out to be some sort of monster is just disingenuous.

    Despicable Biden Administration Protecting Hamas:

    BOMBSHELL: Biden Administration Has Been Hiding Intel on Location of Hamas Leaders in Betrayal of Israel – RedState

    Joe Biden has been hiding intelligence on the whereabouts of Hamas leaders and their command tunnels, depriving Israel of vital information that could lead to an end to the war. That revelation came in a report on Saturday and was framed as the administration offering that information now if the ongoing operation in Rafah is canceled.

    The story first broke in The Washington Post, with the paper describing the offer as follows.

    The Biden administration, working urgently to stave off a full-scale Israeli invasion of Rafah, is offering Israel valuable assistance if it holds back, including sensitive intelligence to help the Israeli military pinpoint the location of Hamas leaders and find the group’s hidden tunnels, according to four people familiar with the U.S. offers.

    Dictator Biden has done more than stop arms to Israel, he has used his power over intelligence valuable to Israel to protect Hamas leadership.


    Biden's now known actions which have come to light suggest that this break with Israel goes back further than what the White House has admitted to. There are reports quoting anonymous sources saying the real break came in February in tense phone calls between Biden and Netanyahu. When sources go on the record, it'll make the impeachment of Dictator Biden that much more important. Biden has changed the US historical relationship with Israel and has taken unilateral actions to undermine Israel without any consultation with or permission from congress.

    Completely off topic, but she is right if Cameron accused the US of appeasement, and I don't know more than what this snippet has provided. The video is of aid to Ukraine while not protecting US borders. It has zero to do with what was posted by me today.

    Thanks for playing though.

    Israel committing war crimes as charged by the Biden Administration is asinine, it is cut and dry.

    Hamas started the war and truly committed war crimes. If they had the power, they would kill every Jew they have access to. Israel has every right to prosecute the war to its just conclusion. Hamas is putting civilians in harms way.

    War is Hell!

    So in that same lens, should we be encouraging Ukraine to bomb Moscow and other major Russian cities, civilian casualties be damned, since they were the aggressor?

    How many wars has Hamas or the predecessors started with Israel since 1947? How many times has Israel gone into the Palestinian territories, tried to target the terrorists but ended up killing plenty of civilians in the process? Why is this time any different?

    It's not. Hamas was wrong targeting Israeli civilians, and it would be great if Israel could wave a magic wand and eliminate all terrorists. But that's not possible. You talk as if victory for Israel is something that attainable. It isn't. When both sides are wrong, and full of hate, there is no winning.

    And if we have evidence that Israel committed war crimes, should we just sit on that information because war is hell? And if they used American made weapons to carry out this crimes, oh well? Again, when does it end?

    The source article says exactly the opposite of what the red state write up about that article says. Try harder.

    No worries.

    “TEL AVIV — With Biden delaying shipments of U.S. weaponry, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced today they will just obtain it from the Taliban instead.

    "The Taliban has over $80 billion worth, so no big deal," explained Netanyahu at a press conference. "Honestly, the transaction and shipping will be way more efficient than dealing with the American government."

    Biden handed over $86 billion in American weaponry to the Taliban in 2021, but denied shipments to Israel last week over concerns that they might not be as responsible as the Taliban. "We just don't trust the Jewish nation, they're very sneaky," sad Biden spokesman John Kirby. "We in the Biden administration want to be extremely cautious about who we allow to have such sophisticated weaponry, which is why the primary people we give weapons to are Eastern European warlords and the guys who did 9/11."

    With the weapons shipments on hold while the few living hostages remain under Hamas control, Israel decided to simply purchase American weaponry from the enormous store in Afghanistan. "There are tons of American weaponry stores all across Afghanistan, plenty to choose from," said an IDF commander. "My personal favorite is Muhammed's Army Surplus, very good prices. We'll be fine."



    With Biden Stalling, Israel Announces They Will Just Get American Weapons From Taliban

    If Ukraine could do it, they would, no encouragement needed. Russia, unlike Israel, targets civilians as a regular practice in their war making.

    Not much posted by you is worth responding to opening the door for more creative responses.

    Care to explain? Or you just posting a drive-by with no substance?

    And the next article from the Babylon Bee that is actually funny will be the first.

    Thank you for admitting you can't explain why I'm wrong. You and I both know I'm right. The Israeli/Muslim conflict has been going on since long before Israel existed. And since 1947, we've had two infidatas, the Arab-Israel War, two Lebanon Wars, Yom Kippur War, the current war, and I'm sure many more I haven't mentioned, because I can't remember them all. And what have accomplished? How have things changed as a result of any of these conflicts? And why will this war be any different?

    Thanks for playing and putting up a big fat zero in your loss.

    No, I don't care to. You asked if I cared to, and I don't. Suffice to say I think your views on the war and war in general border children riding hobby horses. There is nothing the discuss. Thanks for playing though.

    BTW, I'm still waiting on you to post where I said I wanted Gaza turned into a parking lot of sand or whatever exactly you said. I don't recall ever making such remark and you never retracted your statement that I said it or provided proof that I did. Maybe I've had a senior moment as I have zero memory of saying anything close to what you said I said.
