The US didn't propose a ceasefire yet. In response to this ceasefire proposal they've said they're working on a draft for a proposal. With an indeterminate ceasefire of indeterminate length to start at an indeterminate date.

But strangely, once actual dates and times get proposed, they bring out the veto.

One could argue that it sure looks like they're trying to muddy the waters and give Israel cover.

I'm guessing Israel wasn't bombing hostages. Although that guess has been wrong a lot.

“Even if Israeli forces had intended to target legitimate military objectives in the vicinity, these attacks evidently failed to distinguish between military objectives and civilian objects and would therefore be indiscriminate,” Amnesty International said in the report. “Indiscriminate attacks that kill and injure civilians are war crimes.”

It's wild watching Democrats doing everything they can to repeat 2016. Now it's "Bidenomics" says the economy's great, why won't you listen to us? Appointing a special counsel that releases a report about illegally storing classified material that says Biden's too forgetful to have had intent. Instead of collapsing at a 9/11 memorial, Biden's had 4 major incidents with his memory in the space of a week. Biden's net favorability of -17 is lower than Hillary hit even after the Comey report. DNC removing candidates from the primary ballot that they're scared of. Next thing you know, we're going to find out Biden never stopped in Wisconsin for the 2024 campaign.

The Florida Democratic Party's executive committee voted to cancel their primary at the end of October 2023 and declare Biden the winner

The Tennessee Democratic Party decided to list only Biden as a ballot option for its primary after a November 11 meeting

The North Carolina Democratic Party acknowledged receiving requests for ballot access from Phillips and other candidates, but chose to only include Biden for its primary

The Democratic Party of Wisconsin left Phillips off the ballot; he appealed to the Wisconsin Supreme Court on January 26, 2024. The court unanimously ruled on February 2 that Phillips should be included on the ballot.

Rafah is pretty much the last place for people to go, that's why 3/4ths of the population is there at this point. There aren't any "safe zones".

 

Biden is self-destructing his own campaign.

 

The U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) estimates that the city’s population has grown to at least 1.4 million, more than five times its prewar count, with thousands of people sleeping in tents with little protection.

That's nearly 3/4ths of the whole population of the Gaza Strip at this point.

At this rate they're going to be making Star Wars stuff without Darth Vader or Luke Skywalker.

the law doesn't explain who gets to determine when a country is acting in self-defense

Literally the same exact reasoning Trump used to declare an "emergency" and divert funds to a border wall. Words are meaningless so I can do whatever I want!

It was already a deadly situation. Or are you saying that drowning migrants are more acceptable.

I'm looking. Is something supposed to stand out about Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, New Zealand, Sweden, and the UK?
