Israel to open 3 aid corridors following Biden's call with Netanyahu
The Israeli government approved the opening of three humanitarian corridors following Netanyahu's call with Biden, CBS News has learned.
ETA to Israel bombing the three aid corridors? Because we've seen that already:

I think he actually got a little worried about the pushback regarding the most recent bombing of aid vans. Like, even the most pro Israeli outlets and groups online were saying “wow… that was a huge fuck up..”
Of course, none of them were acknowledging it was likely intentional. But I think in terms of gauging “are the Israeli people cool with us literally starving civilians to death” IDF leadership got a fairly affirmative “no”.
fr…saw this and immediately thought “Israel to open 3 kill zones”
Probably been bombed already
The U.S. has significant leverage over Israel as its main supplier of weapons and military equipment.
They sure don't seem to, considering they never even explicitly threaten to use that leverage. Even the call, based on a situation that supposedly left Biden anguished, was still an implicit threat. At least based on what's published.
If Biden wants to actually get any change done he should damn well know that getting rid of Bibi is the only way to do that. The best way to get rid of Bibi is to make the Knesset realize he's an existential threat to Israel because he's about to cause the US to cut off support.
The Knesset just voted themselves a nice six week vacation. They don't give a shit. If Bibi goes they'll find another main man. They have plenty of genocidal nutbars to pick from in their ranks.
Yes, that is a strange quote. It should read "AIPAC has has significant control over who is elected to the U.S. government".
Did Biden threaten to take away Bibi's new genocidal toys?
If these corridors open I'm sure that'll mean the Israelis will have access to new weapons.
So you're saying these 3 new aid corridors are a bad thing?
The aid corridors are good, the circumstances are not.
Fuck Israel.
War pigs, all of them.
USA needs to provide military escorts.
Let Israel kill US troops.
Let us see what happens if they do it again.
History tells us not much will happen https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Liberty_incident
But still...
There's thousands of trucks right outside Rafah. We don't need more "aid corridors". We don't need more piers to bomb WFC vehicles on. Gaza is like 25 miles long. A truck can drive 25 miles.
Just let the trucks in.
The aid corridors are for the trucks.
AKA "targeting calibration corridors".
Biden waits for Israel to kill a bunch of aid workers with no consequences
Biden tells Bibi to "open corridors" for aid into the North.
Now Bibi and Biden can claim they're "humanitarian" despite knowing most aid workers are too afraid to enter the North.
Liberals are gonna eat this shit up when the biweekly "vote blue no matter who" post rocks up on the front page of lemmy.
