This isnt going to happen until after the election.
No US president can condemn Israel without completely losing the religious vote. Trump definitely will support the war.Which is why it wouldnt happen before the election. He doesnt need anyone to vote for him after that.
I am not a morning person but I was thrilled to wake up this morning.Easy. The US didnt greenlight anything.
Back to Rafah. Please explain to me United States greenlights Rafah operation.
At the same time, the State Department on Friday sanctioned Ben-Zion Gopstein, the founder and leader of Lehava, an organization whose members have engaged in violence, including assaults on Palestinian civilians, the Treasury Department said in a statement Friday.The executive order, issued by President Joe Biden in early February, came amid increased violence in the occupied West Bank in the wake of the October 7 Hamas attack. That violence has only continued in subsequent months.
THE NEW YORK TIMES instructed journalists covering Israels war on the Gaza Strip to restrict the use of the terms genocide and ethnic cleansing and to avoid using the phrase occupied territory when describing Palestinian land, according to a copy of an internal memo obtained by The Intercept.
The memo also instructs reporters not to use the word Palestine except in very rare cases and to steer clear of the term refugee camps to describe areas of Gaza historically settled by displaced Palestinians expelled from other parts of Palestine during previous IsraeliArab wars. The areas are recognized by the United Nations as refugee camps and house hundreds of thousands of registered refugees.

The channel confirmed that Netanyahu asked the British and German foreign ministers during their visit to Israel to intervene to prevent the issuance of arrest warrants by the ICC.
It explained that Tel Aviv has obtained information and messages indicating the possibility of such orders being issued on a large scale and that they may be issued at the end of next month.
that stuff about using the sound of crying babies in the middle of the night to lure people out of the refugee camps and then shoot them in the head is as sick as it gets
Remember the Hague Invasion Act.We dont recognize the Hagues warrants. Landmines.

Earlier, the Axios news site said the US would target Israel's Netzah Yehuda battalion over alleged human rights violations in the occupied West Bank. The BBC understands any move would come under a US ban on aid to foreign units credibly implicated in violations.
"Any attempt to criticise an entire unit casts a heavy shadow on the actions of the IDF," a statement from Mr Gollant read, adding "this is not the right path for partners and friends".
You know what would actually be useful?Here is one: Idi amin. The book "a State of Blood. ", written by his former minister, is an incredible read of the horrors he did to his own people.
Listing your examples rather than self-righteous vague posting.
https://apnews.com/article/un-vote-palestinian-membership-us-veto-8d8ad60d8576b5ab9e70d2f8bf7e2881Yeah, a really bad act that gives a really bad picture tbh. You can't say you support two states and then be the only nation to refuse recognizing one of them.
US alone vetoes the Palestinian membership in the UN. But guys Biden totally cares about supporting a two-state solution! /s

He ruled from 1971-1979, so the majority of his rule fell within the past 50 years. Many other books were written on him, but that one is the best one imo.
(To clarify, I am not the one you responded to, but I always found Idi amin and his insanity to be horrifying, and what he did isn't nearly as well known as it should be imo).
Yeah, a really bad act that gives a really bad picture tbh. You can't say you support two states and then be the only nation to refuse recognizing one of them.The US would rather sell weapons to Israel.

Israel has yet to provide evidence of Unrwa staff terrorist links, Colonna report says
Israel has yet to provide supporting evidence of its claims that employees of the UN relief agency Unrwa are members of terrorist organisations, an independent review led by the former French foreign minister Catherine Colonna has said.
The Colonna report, which was commissioned by the UN in the wake of Israeli allegations, found that Unrwa had regularly supplied Israel with lists of its employees for vetting, and that the Israeli government has not informed Unrwa of any concerns relating to any Unrwa staff based on these staff lists since 2011.
The Colonna review, an assessment of Unrwa neutrality which was drafted with the help of three Nordic research institutes and is due to be published later on Monday, makes clear that Israel has yet to substantiate any of its broader claims about the involvement of Unrwa staff in Hamas or Islamic Jihad.
It notes that in March Israel made public claims that a significant number of Unrwa employees are members of terrorist organisations. However, Israel has yet to provide supporting evidence of this, the report says.

So I'm scanning the headlines on the latest UN report depending on publication. CNN has a tiny article only highlighting the parts the independent review thought the UNRWA needs work on. It's not even serious criticisms (most of it is social media posts), they are just shoving the report under the table.
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who also serves as a minister in the Defense Ministry, is pushing to begin the process of legalizing 68 illegal outposts in the West Bank in what would be one of the most dramatic expansions for the settlement movement in decades, Channel 12 News reported on Saturday night.
According to the report, Smotrich, who in his Defense Ministry role has broad authority over civilian issues in the West Bank, has sent instructions to several ministries telling them to begin preparations for providing a variety of public services to such outposts after they are legalized.

I just don't understand at all how you can read the last few articles posted in this thread and think the leadership of Israel and the IDF are anything but pure fucking evil.
My parents still think it is only about Hamas.Anyone claiming that should be assumed to be operating in bad faith at this point.
