Biden has asked Israel to not do war crimes, but did he say anything about withholding military funds and whatnot? If not, then it's all talk

Discendo Vox posted:That's pretty appropriate, the problem is that the first version didn't go out with that context on source and verification. The problem is that the second one is implying that the event is inherently misleading because the Ministry of Health is ran by Hamas. Reuters’ headline is better: “At least 300 dead in Gaza hospital bombing, local authorities say” https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/least-500-victims-israeli-air-strike-hospital-gaza-health-ministry-2023-10-17/ The implications aren’t as damning as AP’s.

Mid-Life Crisis posted:If they don’t cross an international border it’s recognized by the United Nations as “internal displacement”, not “forced displacement”, which therefore doesn’t make it a war crime. It’s still an ethnic cleansing. And the US government can say all it wants about opposing genocide, but its actions speaks louder than its words. They keep protecting and funding a genocidal apartheid regime in Israel and vetoed a UN resolution that would have created a cease fire

Google Jeb Bush posted:Personally I feel that there is a distinction between "Israel prevents Gaza from having fresh water" and "Israel deliberately poisons Gaza drinking water" that isn't just pedantic. The latter extremely strongly implies somewhere between "has industrial contaminants they deliberately dump" and "deliberately acquires poison for the purpose" which is very very different from being huge shitheads on the logistics and infrastructure level. Like HonorableTB said, the end result is what matters, not the logistics. It’s pedantic especially when the intent is to make life hard in Gaza.

BUUNNI posted:One of the leaders of the Democratic Party Sen. Schumer says wanting a cease fire is akin to supporting Hamas. Wow. Pretty out of touch considering that much of the people who consider themselves to be democrats support a ceasefire and want more aid give to Gaza. Schumer has more contempt for those who want a ceasefire than the GOP who want to genocide trans people. Has he called anyone from the GOP a terrorist for their horrible policies?

Trump being worse than Biden on this isn’t convincing to me since Biden is already doing poo poo that is beyond the pale. He’s already passed my threshold of what I can accept and shows no sign of getting better and every day that passes, his position gets worse and worse as the bodies pile up so saying that Trump would be worse is technically correct but it’s like the difference between being shot in the head with a shotgun or with a 50 cal.

I can see being skeptical of what the dude is saying, but the initial complaint is about the account that posted the tweet and PressTV despite it being a video we can all just watch. We can attempt to infer why the video was put out and by whom, but as it stands, it's still words coming from a person speaking on behalf of the Houthis.

Google Jeb Bush posted:The US was far from the only country to suspend - not abolish, not that it matters in the short to medium term - funding for UNRWA, but it was the first, and presumably impacted the other decisions. Switzerland thought about doing so in december for different nominal reasons. If I'm reading correctly, UNRWA can continue functioning as normal for another three weeks, but it's possible I'm misreading and that's the shut down date, not when it starts impacting Gaza assistance. This doesn’t address the assertion that the US defunding the UNRWA means that the US isn’t pressuring Israel. This is just “well other counties are doing it too and Switzerland wanted to do it before as well”. I’m with the others. The US isnt really pressuring Israel to stop when Biden bypassed Congress to authorize weapon sales and publicly say that there shouldn’t be a ceasefire. theCalamity fucked around with this message at 21:44 on Feb 7, 2024 |

Anyone remember how the Biden administration gave Israel until the end of 2023 to finish their campaign? That certainly came and went. Although according to Politico, Jon Finer, the deputy National Security advisor, said that the US wasn't imposing a hard deadline. Seems to be a running theme with this administration pressure against Israel, if you could even call it pressure https://www.politico.eu/article/will-israel-defy-washington-target-hezbollah-lebanon-hamas/

Kalit posted:Wow..the US and Israel doesn't see eye to eye on the ongoing [now accelerated] genocide. Who could have guessed? The fact that the deadline was given with no repercussions is another piece of evidence of the Biden admin not really caring about the genocide outside of optics. They've been having so many "disagreements" you'd think that Biden would be a lot more forceful in his rhetoric and back that up by threatening to withhold financial and lethal aid instead of begging for more money for Israel and bypassing Congress to authorize arm sales.

They've been disagreeing this entire time and the US seems to care too much about Israel as an ally to draw a hard red line up to this point.

Kalit posted:Biden obviously cares more about Israel being an ally at the moment than taking steps to ensure that they immediately stop the accelerated genocide. That doesn’t mean he has to fully agree with their actions and doesn’t have an actual red line. The Biden admin has no red lines for Israel. https://www.reuters.com/world/us-not-drawing-red-lines-israel-white-house-2023-10-27/#:~:text=7.,after%20ground%20operations%20in%20Gaza.

“Arab backed” sounds like fearmongering. It’s definitely making me remember that one old lady who spoke to John McCain and said she didn’t trust Obama because he’s Arab. At the very least, it’s indelicate. Al Jazeera’s “Arab nations, led by Algeria” is a much better handling of it.
