      *hospital buster bombs.

      Funny how the US can put conditions on how Ukraine uses the HIMARS system, but Israel can use their bombs any way they please.

        Palestine doesn’t, in theory, have any ability to escalate against NATO/USA, whereas Russia absolutely does. The NATO master has to keep their Ukrainian dog’s leash short because otherwise the master might get end up getting bitten by the Russians.

          Yeah, exactly. It’s never about human rights or civilian casualties, it’s about limiting blowback. Although in my opinion there will still be blowback in the form of terrorist attacks to the US. But I guess that’s a price they’re willing to pay, as that just gives them excuses for more surveillance laws to be put in place, while in the grand scheme of things terrorist attacks really don’t matter.

            if there were any terrorist attacks in the us it would provide a justification for doing whatever the hell else the US would like to do but for whatever reason is holding back

    U.S. officials say Israel used an American-provided bomb with a large payload in one of the deadliest strikes of the entire war, an attack that leveled an apartment block in Gaza’s Jabalia refugee camp, killing more than 100 people. Israel said the strike killed a Hamas leader.
