As long as they’re deeply concerned.
Maybe they'll delay the next shipment of weapons by five minutes while they feel that concern.
They’ll probably be so concerned they’ll send them faster.
"C-cmon guys, at least dont let anybody see! Guys??"
The real answer is an arms embargo, until Israel is no longer an apartheid state. One state, full rights for all.
Arms embargo is part of it for sure. But more would need to be done. Sanctions, peace keepers, and embargos would be a good first step.
Agreed, anything other than what is currently going on.
Two states, full rights for all in both
Israel is a violent settler apartheid. No.
They wouldn't be if they ensured full (and equal) rights to all its citizens. It's delusional to think the situation would ever go back to that of before 1947
No thanks
Ew
One state, no Jim crow bullshit
Ah that's fair I would agree with that but I don't think 99% of Israelis would.
You got us in the first half lol
"Deep concern" is as effective as "thoughts and prayers" when you supply unlimited funds and support to the genociders.
Seriously. This is such a shit situation.
The U.S. is between a rock and a hard place with Israel being the only friendly foothold in the Middle East with ports. Which enables a ton of power projection over "things" the U.S. cares about.
But then Israel is now an entity that we don't want to associate with. But we can't just let them shit the bed and allow a multi-state war with nuclear powers to take place either.
The later will hurt the U.S. in tangible ways, for decades to come.
So what do you do? Do you knowingly cause damage the security interests of country, or do you follow the social/societal expectations that we don't just fucking kill innocent civilians and let Israel eat the lunch they made... Indirectly enabling a war which you will get drug into regardless?
Shit sucks, everywhere. And Israel are being the baddies, while the U.S. is enabling it.
Great, now fucking do something about it. Tots and pears is just as effective here as it is when a school is shot up. Fix it ya fuckwits.
Literally anything. It seems "They've tried (almost) nothing, and they're all out of ideas!" This is such a mind-boggling fuckup from Biden. Probably the biggest of his presidency.
Israel is run by out-of-control extremists and racists (much like T**** regime). Who will justify any killing, because "they're in danger" (also sounds familiar). Biden is seemingly vetoing his own advisors, as Netanyahu continually kills civilians, Israeli hostages, and chance after chance at a ceasefire.
I really hope Harris has a more intelligent approach. It wouldn't take much.
Obviously not concerned enough to stop it.
Or to stop providing weapons.
I’m kind of curious as to where Biden will draw the line.
I mean, seriously. Netanyahu has strung him along on the ceasefire and everything else, including lying to Biden’s face, while bombing civilians.
At what point, do you look at the “leash” our aid represents and start yanking?
Biden won't. He was willing to throw the US to an autocrat for Israel.
He has no discernible line. Or if he does, his priorities are absolutely wonky.
all important^1^ parties to this slaughter are in perfect agreement with each other. all of this has been normal and within acceptable parameters.
^1^ non-Palestinians
White House has been deeply concerned for 10 months now... But elephants gestate for 20 months so maybe 10 more months of bloodshed and something will come out of it
I'm sure the civilians bombed with American missiles appreciate the white houses concern
Oh, thank goodness they're concerned! I feel better now.
So... Thoughts and prayers is a bipartisan thing
Fuck them. Every death is on them.
Deeply concerned about weapons sales.
Yeah they seem "deeply concerned"
Another AIPAC slaughter. AIPAC is threatening to dump tens of millions into ads for Trump in swing states leading into the election if we don't send weapons.
If we can pull ahead enough to minimize that threat, then I suspect White House policy will suddenly change. Biden/Harris need to just pull that trigger now. It's insane that we let money dictate our foreign policy.
We need to get money out of politics. Especially foreign money. Also, fuck every AIPAC operative. Their carcasses need to be piled into a dumpster and lit on fire.
“Terror operatives”, or in other words Palestinian children. Everyone is “Hamas” according to Israel.
Who are the terror operatives please because I am confused
Only slightly related: Why don't Hamas fighters wear a colored rag to distinguish combatants?
They do their color is green you can see it when hamas mass demonstrates.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
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.
