    Australia, USA, Canada, and UK whose people were killed directly sells arms to Israel. The chances that the same weapons they supplied were used to kill them are high. So the fake outrage is pure theater.

    33000 Palestinians are dead, 13000 fucking children are dead, and that’s fine. Nothing to see, nothing to investigate, keep sending weapons.

      Correction: 33000 Palestinians are confirmed dead. Israel has systematically destroyed the Gazan healthcare system so the Gazan Health Ministry can’t count dead people (the GHM only reports people its doctors officially confirmed dead). I wouldn’t be surprised if the real number of dead was double the official number.

        At this point I’m wondering why we don’t switch the numbers and tell us how many people we have left because that’s kind of where we’re at right now I think

      Right. How can one not be outraged by the entire war? How can you be a decent human being and only be outraged when people more similar to you die and not other INNOCENT people. These people supporting any war are enemies of the people. They are not leaders.

    Biden is so outraged that just in the last 4 days or so he’s promised the sale/transfer of tens billions of dollars worth of F-35s, F-15s, and huge bombs for Israel. His talk of grief and anger is cheap political theater to save his presidential campaign and anyone who actually believes him is wilfully blinding themselves. His words only changed when people started voting uncommitted, and his actions never did. What he actually does, which is the only thing that counts, is force US money to enable nation-level war crimes whether or not the citizens want it.

      He is a neocon giving the most facetious of lip service to the left wing HALF of America.

      Liberals officially have no party.

      Small wonder since we have let this 2 party farce go on for so long.

        In the historical sense of liberalism, liberals have a party. Left-wingers don’t.

          I’ll take your word for it.

          All I know is that in the Bill Clinton era, the middle class thrived and America bombed Serbia instead of giving them armament to genocide Croatia.

          His hag of a wife made sure to kill all that though.

            I think you meant power hungry cunt. Hag is too nice a word.

            She was a bad opponent against Trump after decades of attacks from the right, she was not viable for most of the country ignoring the fact that misogynist men won’t ever vote for a woman in any office.

              Serbia was Yugoslavia. They tried to genocide the Croatians. They got bombed to hell.

              Like Istanbul was Constantinople.

    Biden is ok with the alshifa hospital boming that killed 400 lives just 2 days ago, but here we have 4 killed with international passports from countries he has to pretend he gives a damn about.
    We have to wait until it’s a European or American who is killed to be “outraged”?

    His “outrage” is meaningless. He’s actively aiding and abetting.

    US credibility is taking a hit on the global stage.

    As for Biden, I can really see why this issue is hurting his campaign in the US. As well as supporting genocide it just makes him sound super insincere and duplicitous.

      Didn’t he just give them another 18 billion?

      They dont give a shit how Biden feels or what he thinks is.

      Because his entire political career he’s been running around telling anyone that will listen that absolutely nothing would ever make him support Israel any less.

      It’s an abusive relationship, and we’re all like the kids stuck in the house with no say on our living situation

    How can I help our comrades in Gaza fight this?

    So is he going to do anything material about it? Or is he giving that statement to the press and then immediately calling up Bibi to reassure him it’s just for show? I have a feeling I know the answer.

    I just read: “Biden administration set to greenlight $18 billion sale of F-15 fighter jets to Israel”

    Oh sure… he’s “outraged”.

    I don’t get it - they keep using the weapons we’ve been shoveling over there to kill the wrong people! I’ve tried scolding them but they just won’t stop slaughtering the innocent! I have no idea but to get them to stop. I have no choice but to give them more weapons and hope they do better.
