Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

In a statement, Biden said that while Israel has taken responsibility for her death, the U.S. government expects continued access as the investigation continues over the circumstances of the shooting. "There must be full accountability. And Israel must do more to ensure that incidents like this never happen again," Biden said.

Words are empty if not backed up by actions.

Remember when he had those words about sanctioning high ranking members of Israel's government if the genocide continued?

...

Then he sanctioned some broke ass "settlers" for a week or two and pulled it back once everyone had clapped for him.

Human rights are only important when politically convenient.

Not doubting you, but as I don't recall this (probably because of the exhausting news cycle) citations would help.

Anyways, I'm encouraged by the fact that other countries that are similarly allied like the UK are starting to say no. The US might not have been ready to be the first one or the only one from this group, but hopefully it will do the right thing when others like the UK set the right example...

Words for show. Bombs for real.

What are you going to do to ensure israel complies mr biden. I’m guessing what you usually do, fuck all.

He'll write them some firm words on the bombs

"I will continue to support policies that hold all extremists – Israelis and Palestinians alike – accountable for stoking violence and serving as obstacles to peace," Biden said.

Considering there have been no consequences so far, I expect that this statement is true, in that he will continue to "hold them accountable" by not actually doing anything.

No, wait, it'll probably be more money and weapons.

No no, that was the consequences. He implied there is such a thing as an Israeli extremist. That's it.

Reuters not honest enough to write “killing” much less “murder”.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Exactly. Her 'death'. Did she have a stroke?

No, she was shot in the head by a zionist extremist in the Israeli occupation forces.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Oh, so now it's important when someone gets killed over there

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

What are the reault of the previous investigations again?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

If I were that person's family and got invited to the whitehouse, I'd probably sock him in the jaw lol.

Already a line from all the surviving veterans of the USS Liberty.
