Blinken out there this week saying to questions about a ceasefire - what is the point of a ceasefire as in it would accomplish nothing.
There is no hope for Biden on this right now unfortunately.
Blinken out there this week saying to questions about a ceasefire - what is the point of a ceasefire as in it would accomplish nothing.Biden needs to be working with other developed countries on a Marshall Plan for Palestine—and leave Bibi and his apartheid state out of it. That’s the only way Israel leaves Gaza alone at this point.
also Iran is far from stable internally, they have been dealing with a lot protests, no one but the hardliners have any stomach for conflict atmIraq:
In the last week there have been a number of harassing attacks aimed at Al-Asad Airbase, Iraq, which the US has not responded to. Mainly drone and light rocket. The lack of a US response probably indicates the US feels restraint is the best choice.
Iranian militias are only launching light very light harassment attacks in Iraq at the US base. This seems to indicate Iranian proxy in Iraq feel they lack the political capacity to directly attack US forces. They are effectively operating as criminals, attempting to avoid detection by Iraqi authorities.
This is very good news for the US position in Iraq. Iran dumped a lot of money into its proxies in Iraq, and to seem then unable to effectively expand the war in Iraq is a win at this point.
I also saw rumors Iranian associated militia's in Iraq are not interested in joining Hezbollah in Lebanon against Israel because that would put them under Hezbollah command. Regardless, we have not seen Iraqi militias moving from Iraq to engage in this conflict in any meaningful way.
Yes and no. I don't like the existing precedent that Israel gets to wreck Gaza every decade because the Americans will pay for the rebuilding. Maybe they would stop leveling the place if they have to pay for all the damages?Biden needs to be working with other developed countries on a Marshall Plan for Palestine—and leave Bibi and his apartheid state out of it. That’s the only way Israel leaves Gaza alone at this point.
And white women. Hey, some his age probably still find him hotbut Biden’s path to reelection still relies on old white men.
brutal. Very surprised there have not been a lot more big IEDs so far.It looks like shit is popping off in the West Bank
IOF tank hit with an IED
I think Iran is trying to distract from their internal problems, focus hate outward.Whelp looks like i was wrong/spoke too soon?
My understanding is journalists are only protected when operating independently from an armed force.Well at least they are publicly announcing what they have been doing for a long while now
My understanding is that netanyahu is a military special ops man prior to politics right?Netanyahu, the genocidal war criminal, says publicly a ceasefire will only happen with the release of hostages. But in negotiating room he is the one rejecting ceasefire. For the releases of hostages. But the Zionists don't care and the mainstream American media will never tell the truth.
Netanyahu rejected ceasefire-for-hostages deal in Gaza, sources say
Israeli PM said to have turned down proposal in early talks and continues to take tough linewww.theguardian.com
Both him and his brother where...his brother was killed on the raid on EntebbeMy understanding is that netanyahu is a military special ops man prior to politics right?
Yeah just look at the George Floyd riots, lotsa press where intentionally attacked by the policeMy understanding is journalists are only protected when operating independently from an armed force.
This has huge implications.
Embedding with US forces? Your a valid target.
Embedding with Taliban? Your a valid target for US forces.
And yes, US soldiers considered anyone with a camera on the other side to be primary targets. If they could only get one guy in the enemy squad, it was going to be the guy with the camera.
Yea, the press complains about it. But everyone does it for a reason.
to be fair, dribbling the hostages out for ceasefires is a bit silly.Netanyahu, the genocidal war criminal, says publicly a ceasefire will only happen with the release of hostages. But in negotiating room he is the one rejecting ceasefire. For the releases of hostages. But the Zionists don't care and the mainstream American media will never tell the truth.

That is a spectacularly good example. And no police were ever held accountable, despite being on film.Yeah just look at the George Floyd riots, lotsa press where intentionally attacked by the police

הטעיה של חמאס למסוקי צה"ל והכוונת טייסים בוואטסאפ | חיל האוויר ביום ה-1
המסוקים הראשונים הוזנקו דווקא מצפון הארץ, והגיעו לעוטף עזה כשעה אחרי תחילת הקרבות. המחבלים הונחו לא לרוץ כדי שמהאוויר יחשבו שהם ישראלים. הטייסים ירו על חוצי הגדר, וגם ממש בתוך היישובים. טייסים קיבלו מידע מהקרקע בניידים. ב-4 שעות הותקפו כ-300 מטרות | אירועי השבת השחורהweb.archive.org
Plot twist, Republicans must become pro-muslim due to their nature forcing themselves to politicize even this.As much as Biden and Blinken are deserving of criticism, there are things afoot that we are not privy to. Plenty of back channel and cutout communication between the US, Saudi, Israel, Qatar, UAE, Egypt etc. and Hamas that has—thus far—delayed the inevitable ground assault, allowed [certain] people to flee Gaza, and seen the release of a handful of hostages. It’s also kept Hezbollah out of the fight.
Politically, I hate to admit it, but Biden could actually be net gaining support vs. losing support over backing Israel (saw one poll that showed only 13% of registered US voters back Palestinians over Israelis.) Sure that changes when you look at Arab Americans, the youth vote, etc.—but Biden’s path to reelection still relies on old white men.
Overall I’d still rate him a C- on Israel-Palestine primarily for making a trip to see Bibi while he’s on the warpath.
