White House “deeply concerned” about civilian casualties after the IDF said it had struck a command room that terror operatives set up at a Gaza City school where displaced Palestinian civilians were sheltering

    “Deep concern” is as effective as “thoughts and prayers” when you supply unlimited funds and support to the genociders.

      Seriously. This is such a shit situation.

      The U.S. is between a rock and a hard place with Israel being the only friendly foothold in the Middle East with ports. Which enables a ton of power projection over “things” the U.S. cares about.

      But then Israel is now an entity that we don’t want to associate with. But we can’t just let them shit the bed and allow a multi-state war with nuclear powers to take place either.

      The later will hurt the U.S. in tangible ways, for decades to come.

      So what do you do? Do you knowingly cause damage the security interests of country, or do you follow the social/societal expectations that we don’t just fucking kill innocent civilians and let Israel eat the lunch they made… Indirectly enabling a war which you will get drug into regardless?

      Shit sucks, everywhere. And Israel are being the baddies, while the U.S. is enabling it.
