Words are empty if not backed up by actions.
Remember when he had those words about sanctioning high ranking members of Israel's government if the genocide continued?
...
Then he sanctioned some broke ass "settlers" for a week or two and pulled it back once everyone had clapped for him.
Human rights are only important when politically convenient.
Not doubting you, but as I don't recall this (probably because of the exhausting news cycle) citations would help.
Anyways, I'm encouraged by the fact that other countries that are similarly allied like the UK are starting to say no. The US might not have been ready to be the first one or the only one from this group, but hopefully it will do the right thing when others like the UK set the right example...
Words for show. Bombs for real.
What are you going to do to ensure israel complies mr biden. I’m guessing what you usually do, fuck all.
He'll write them some firm words on the bombs
"I will continue to support policies that hold all extremists – Israelis and Palestinians alike – accountable for stoking violence and serving as obstacles to peace," Biden said.
Considering there have been no consequences so far, I expect that this statement is true, in that he will continue to "hold them accountable" by not actually doing anything.
No, wait, it'll probably be more money and weapons.
No no, that was the consequences. He implied there is such a thing as an Israeli extremist. That's it.
Reuters not honest enough to write “killing” much less “murder”.
Exactly. Her 'death'. Did she have a stroke?
No, she was shot in the head by a zionist extremist in the Israeli occupation forces.
Oh, so now it's important when someone gets killed over there
What are the reault of the previous investigations again?
If I were that person's family and got invited to the whitehouse, I'd probably sock him in the jaw lol.
Already a line from all the surviving veterans of the USS Liberty.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.
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.
