    Hoo boy, I can’t wait to see how the State Department try to spin this one.

    Edit: who am I kidding? It will be “Israel has admitted this was a mistake and we believe they remain committed to minimizing civilian casualties”.

    Edit2: Ah, no. Turns out they instead played the “We are waiting for the results of Israel’s investigation into its own actions” card. Was a 50/50 chance.

    They’re actually assessing how much of an outcry there’ll be, so they know how sharp the inevitable slap on the wrist should look.

    I don’t know how much longer we’ll let this go on, but I sure wish Biden would grow a pair and admit that Israel('s government, but many of its talking heads, also) is a bunch of liars and murderers.

    Oh, wait. The White House is color blind and didn’t recognize all the red lines that have been crossed because they all appeared to be shades of gray. Now it makes sense. No one is to blame. /s

        lobbyists have monstrous power in congress

        The first part is superfluous. Getting the money out of American politics will help with more than this one specific issue.

    Fuck our politicians and their collusion with Israel in this genocide. Our damn oligarchy masquerading as a democracy is getting to grow old and we need to change and take control of our country through voting which starts in the primaries so we get true progressives in instead of people who want to go backwards or rollover to those with power or money to control our democratic institutions. Yeah I’m looking at the damn DNC who control our only reasonable hope for change. argh
