After Israel killed seven aid workers in Gaza, the US says it has not found any incidents of Israel violating international humanitarian law in the past six months. An Al Jazeera probe concluded the World Central Kitchen vehicles were deliberately hit.
John Kirby’s just trying to figure out whether or not he’s become a real boy yet.
That is what we call a lie by stating a correct statement.
Why? It is only a correct statement because Israel has and had already violated International Law before the recent Gaza war.
A truthful statement would be, “Israel continues to break international law in the current Gaza War as it has done for years and per over 30 UN Resolutions.”
The power of words, friends.
Clown country
I wish it was more funny :(
Oh god dammit put down the monkey paw, we just had this with the last guy.
i knew biden would be disappointing but fuck… not “incredibly horrible”
so, now the election is between incredibly horrible and unimaginably worse…
Love that americans are still worried about elections of all things as if anything other than organized violence will stop a capitalist government from committing genocide.
americans are too chickenshit and comfortable to do anything than complain. i wish we were more like the french.
I thought that was what the 2nd Armament was for, but apparently it’s actually for killing school children.
Only the brown ones, but yes. See: Mulford act
The white kids who die are just an acceptable cost, I guess.
The #1 thing I’ve noticed this go round is how the best even the most dem pundits and supporters can come up with is “Yeah Biden does it but Trump will do it worse”
I’m not even convinced that’s true when it comes to this issue. Trump, at least, narcissistically cares about what people think of him enough that he could maybe be swayed by public opinion. Biden has been a hardline Zionist his entire career and sees backing Israel to the hilt despite the public outcry as a moral imperative.
Besides, how do you get worse than eagerly aiding a genocide?
when Trump was in office, liberals at least pretended to care. They took COVID somewhat seriously, masked up out of spite, they paid lip service to the BLM protests. These past 4 years they’ve truly gone back to brunch. maybe if ol’ Mango Mussolini gets back in, they’ll pretend to give a shit again.
Eagerly aiding a genocide while also doing one at home, but you know biden wouldn’t stop it if the fascists just did one, so he’s not really better than trump OK that either.
At least if trump tries to genocide me, he’ll be using poorly primed hierarchal power and you’ll get a lot of mutinies. Like, a non-trump fasch genocide is blood in the streets, and I’m so fucking shit at that, so my odds are like 10% and its definitely a bad time. If trump orders it, There’s a 50/50 chance the local air force base mutinies and flips on him because poverty draft, and I either get s hellfire missile or I don’t.
Yeah. I don’t know Trump would help this situation at all but it wouldn’t be this bullshit. That’s for sure. And I want to be very clear I do not and did not want a president trump.
Ttumo has explicitly said he thinks Israel needs to finish the job.
Jesus Christ, inform yourself before you say shit like this.
Trump says a lot doesn’t mean him or his party would be doing the same if they were in this role lol.
If you want to believe that Ttunp is lying to you about his feelings towards Palestinians, than there is nothing I can say to change your mind.
That is pure uninformed lunacy and you absolutely know better.
Sufficiently grand disorganized violence or sufficiently organized property destruction could also work.
I think all of us need to be keeping a list of accounts such as this one, advocating our websites users commit violence against the US government.
This person is explicitly a terrorist, a government agent, an idiot, or a combination of all 3.
Name and shame.
report me to the House Un-American Activities Committee you McCarthyist loser
I didn’t realize not calling for terrorism on the open web made ma McCarthyite. Somebody just watched Good Night, and Good Luck in AP History, huh?
“those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.”
“Omg wtf JFK is a terrorist???” - you, apparently
Except you are calling out for an Oswald here, not a JFK.
The sad thing is there might be somebody here stupid enough to fall for it. Doubtful, but maybe God is on your side tonight.
Lee Harvey Oswald was a single man, the poster you’re whining about is calling for mass organized action (that means with a lots of coordinated people). Try to keep up, you’re making yourself look like a clown here.
lol at this wannabe cop bootlicker
Hey, you gonna file a report with your local intelligence branch about people on the internet mad at their governments?
If somebody accuses you of being a cop, maybe don’t start acting like a child and then immediately call them a cop.
It just makes you look uncreative, on top of the other shortcoming previously mentioned.
I’m not that guy.
You should definitely tell the police that people on the internet are making you feel bad though, call 911 asap!
What are the chances two completely separate not the same guys could stumble into the same conversation and be that obtuse?
Fairly high!
Best of luck to you in your future endeavors.
I have a million alt accounts and they’re all inside your walls
Wait, don’t give up on trying to convince people to document and rat on each other so easy!
Come on, how else are the spooks gonna know who to target if we don’t form a circular firing squad?
Israel is committing the genocide, not america. america is enabling them and thus it’s electorate can influence it’s actions, somewhat.
the next election will influence the genocide in israel, the genocide in ukraine, and the upcoming genocide against trans people.throwing “capitalist” in there doesn’t make you deep. any economic system is capable of genocide.
most americans are willfully ignorant, but not all of us.
also, i don’t see whatever country you’re pretending to be from intervening… so maybe work on that
whatever country you’re pretending to be from
The american chauvinist cannot comprehend people being from other countries
Israel is committing genocide with American bombs and American protection and American approval. This war could be ended if Biden just stopped giving them more bombs and stopped protecting Israel from the consequences of its actions. Israel is the 51st State, America’s unsinkable aircraft carrier, it’s an American genocide. We don’t get to hide behind a proxy and pretend we are not directly responsible.
This war could be ended if Biden just
this is a tragically naive take on how things work.
Israel is the 51st State, America’s unsinkable aircraft carrier, it’s an American genocide.
now you’re just stringing nonsense together
We don’t get to hide behind a proxy and pretend we are not directly responsible.
“we”? oh, now you’re american… it’s not a proxy, they are doing what they want to do.
if you paid attention a little, israel burn’s buildings down when they run low on bombs… they make their own guns, bullets, tanks, and sniper quad copters… this would not change without american support.but, aren’t you going to address the genocide in Ukraine? How do you feel about Russia’s genocide in Ukraine?
“Israel” is a US colony; it’s entire existence hinges on the latter.
Its formation used common british colonization tactics [III], with companies literally named “Colonization Commission”, “Jewish Colonial Trust” and the like.
Theodor Herzl, founder of the colonial ideology he called “zionism”, was himself also just a racist colonizer by his own admission, and saw it as bringing ‘civilization’ to ‘barbarians’ as the rest of Europe did when they were colonizing and enslaving Africa and Asia:
“We should there form a portion of a rampart of Europe against Asia, an outpost of civilization as opposed to barbarism. We should as a neutral State remain in contact with all Europe, which would have to guarantee our existence.” Source [II]
Only difference now is that the US has been the de facto leader of the imperial core since WW2, no longer UK in Europe.
And capitalist governments work for the interests and profit of capitalists rather than workers as is the reason for the genocide here (keeping the middle east unstable and unable to unite against imperialism with a colony right in the middle of Africa and Asia), so yes that does matter.
you are grossly misinterpreting actions of several governments as american… israel was established post wwii for quite a few people with quite a few reasons.
even if you wanted to mangle the definition of colony, Israel would still be a former colony and a sovereign nation now.
but, what are your feelings about russia’s genocide in ukraine?
removed by mod
Because they are exposing your hypocrisy?
It’s always funny to me how .ml users do these mental gymnastics every time they get called out and then throw around the “how dare you” faux outrage.
I say funny, but it’s more sad how frequent and predictable it’s become lately.
removed by mod
Love how you ignore everything they said and bring up something completely unrelated to derail the conversation lmao
Edit: but, what are your feelings about the us colony’s genocide in palestine?
“Israel” is a US colony; it’s entire existence hinges on the latter.
I think I disagree with this.
Puerto Rico is a colony. There’s a very clear difference in how the empire treats colonies and how it treats extensions of itself. Israel, rather than being a colony, is actually just an extension of the US empire. It’s like the 51st state, it’s an equal partner in the imperial project.
Yup :(
I don’t envy you Americans. Here in Canada we have our own set of idiots too and it almost always boils down to voting for the least worst person :(
democracy under capitalism = fascism in cosplay
no matter how much you organize, grassroots, and petition… evil bastards will steamroll your movements with cash, and add a little concession to whatever you were riling people up about…
then you get to vote for the guy pandering to you or the guy who isn’t, but they’ll both do the same shit… give more money to rich people any way possible.
Yeah you only have Conservatives to choose from. It sucks.
Almost like the electoral system is broken and the only solution us direct action?
That spokesperson doesn’t reflect well on his agency, our government or our people.
This is why I don’t identify as an american, despite my accent.
…and America used to be the good guy.
I think this is an example of the winner writing history more than anything. America has done some messed up stuff
Lmfao. When was that bud? When we killed the natives? When we locked up the Japanese? When we overthrow South American governments?
Maybe it was when we had an economy based on slave labor! If that’s the metric we’re using, America has been the good guys the whole time it’s existed!
“We have investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing”
Why would anybody think that the US could have beef with settlers killing civilians?
Holy hell, how can he say that with a straight face?
Because the five of us here who aren’t are the only people in the entire world who don’t take MSM at face value
I always find a weird cognitive dissonance when I talk to people on the street about it. They know its not trustworthy, but they still trust it. They’re more open if you point that out before presenting alternatives.
Its kind of like elections? ‘Everything’s broken, all the systems are bad and will never serve us, vote em all out!’ As opposed to real action.
Politicians are professional liars
And I’m really insulted they’re not doing a better job.
I wish some of the reporters had said to him in the last interview, “so, they’ve investigated themselves and found they did nothing wrong?”
Mainstream news reporting does not incentivize thoughtful investigative journalism any longer. The publications have narratives and political slants to push. BAU states that Israel is allowed to do whatever they want. Maybe they shouldn’t have been allowed to have nuclear weapons.
Israel, with US backing, is destroying the concept of international law. It’s now clear to everyone that the so-called international rules based order isn’t real and that the rules only apply to US enemies like Russia.
I think we’re seeing a repeat of the League of Nations.
That and brown people don’t count as people.
That’s the bigger one. They’re happy to enforce the rules on brown people when they attack brown people, or white people on white people, and all hell is unleashed when it’s brown on white, but when it’s mostly white Israelis on mostly brown Palestinians you get crickets.
And that’s why I don’t like cricket.
Eh. It still seems more interesting than baseball, and it’s more exotic where I live, which the hipster in me likes.
In case this was actually unclear, there’s a media trope of using the sound of crickets (the animal) to emphasis a silence.
Poor Russia!
You might have missed the point lol
No point taken for sure. I just don’t really feel bad that Russia was stopped from genocide in Ukraine even though it’s not “fair”. The US being able to enable Israel is absolutely deplorable though.
The US has destroyed it’s credibility against Russia’s war of aggression by supporting Israel’s genocide. It’s undermining its own authority.
These things are connected.
How do you look at these two things and not draw connections or conclusions? Is history just a series of disconnected events to you?
So you don’t think it’s good that Russia is being stopped from genocide in Ukraine? You’re really saying the quiet part out loud here. I agree that the US has no credibility but I also think things would be just as bad if China and Russia were in charge.
All I was saying is that just because the US is not doing enough to stop genocide in Palestine doesn’t mean that Russia is a victim for not being allowed to engage in their own imperialism. USA bad. Also Russia bad. Maybe worse? Doesn’t excuse US actions but Russia isn’t some underdog that’s being picked on unfairly.
I don’t think it’s good that the US is lighting it’s credibility on fire to support Israel because it will make it impossible to stop other wars of aggression like Ukraine! You are not seeing the big picture. Next time Russia invades a country everyone will ignore the US’s claims about international law. International law has to be applied equally or it ceases to exist
I agree. I also think it’s better to have 1 genocide instead of 2 genocides. I’d much prefer zero though.
It does seem like there’s some pressure for the Biden administration to stop being so hypocritical in their foreign policy. I’m hoping things are going to change though it’s happening far too slowly. We’re very lucky that we’re not in another Trump administration or things would be way worse.
Whew laddie
Meanwhile Joe Bellend has given what, over R600 billion ZAR to Isisrael to destroy R500 billion ZAR of infrastructure, rendered all public services inoperable or at best terminal, a homicide rate of 3.6%+ and in the northern half, the equivalent of Nelson Mandela Bay wiped from the map with a food crisis bordering that of Auschwitz (no this is not an exaggeration). Most if not all consular services have also been destroyed, leaving numbers of “external refugees” to seek aid from the UN, whose functions are also in terminal crisis.
All this with massive praise from the cracker-sphere, whose rhetoric becomes more bloodthirsty by the day, with the stance of “every man, woman, child and infant between Gaza and Gauteng is a terrorist” also starting to become prevalent. Except Ireland; Ireland is the only actually good western country.
The Jihad against the “African Christian Democratic Party” and the “South African Friends of Israel” will continue until conditions improve.
