No 'credible plan': U.S.' Blinken issues harshest criticism yet of Israel's operations in Gaza
No 'credible plan': U.S.' Blinken issues harshest criticism yet of Israel's operations in Gaza
The Biden administration opposes an Israeli invasion of Rafah, where more than 1.2 million displaced Palestinians are currently sheltering.
It says a lot that this is the "harshest" criticism...
Harshest criticism legally allowed by the new Can't say mean things law.
Israel is currently the US’ closest ‘ally’ in the Middle East. Not that Israel wouldn’t turn on the US in a heartbeat, but the US needs Israel to maintain force in the region. Add to that, Israel is Jewish. In light of events almost 100 years ago, it’s a bit problematic to criticise anything a group of Jewish people do.
The US can’t exactly come out and say anything that would be too disruptive to their relationship with Israel.
That's kind of outdated excuse from when Israel was acting like the only rational country...
Israel is a liability for stability, and really it always has been.
The reason we needed an "ally" is we overthrew a bunch of democracies and installed religious extremists in the other countries.
Israel was just the lightning rod to direct their anger. Now they're the ones attacking neighboring countries.
We call a relationship that is founded on gas lighting, material gifts, and genocide as abusive. And its really easy to say isreal is committing a genocide, i just did, most countries already do.
If that’s the cost to have an ally in the Middle East, then they are not an ally.
Also, did the US release their report about if isreal was involved in war crimes using us guns? I mean of course they were, but the admission was supposed to be out last week, and they swore they were not stalling and that it was only going to be late by 1 day.
Blackadder: Would that be the plan to continue with total slaughter until everyone's dead except for Field Marshall Haig, Lady Haig and their tortoise, Alan?
U.S. admits Israel never had a plan and that they continued sending them money and weapons. Me thinks they should be listening more to Bernie and less to Netanyahu
Yeah no shit. You cannot safely move 1.2 million people back into an area bombed, burned and utterly destroyed without any sanitation, any water, any medical infrastructure...
The whole "needs a credible plan" is already an excuse to be able to move the goalposts in the same way that the talk about a "large scale" invasion is to move the goalposts.
Or maybe Israel just isn't sharing their plans with the US administration anymore?
