In reply to the discussion: Hamas beheaded children -- President Biden [View all]Bear Creek

https://www.hrw.org/news/2023/08/28/west-bank-spike-israeli-killings-palestinian-children
Human rights groups, including Amnesty International, have accused Israel of imposing apartheid on Palestinians. Bidens administration needs to hold Netanyahu government accountable for the aggression against Palestinians and expanding settlements in the occupied west bank. Including 3.8 billion in annual aid to Israel.
In March Israeli minister claimed theres no such thing as a Palestinian people. Most repressive government yet. Overhaul of the judiciary. Coalition government has control over who becomes a justice or a judge. This came a day after Israeli and Palestinian delegation met in Egypt. Mediated by Egypt, Jordanian and U.S. officials pledged to take steps to reduce tensions. Bezalel Smotrich delivered a speech in Paris. He said There is no such thing as a Palestinian nation. There is no Palestinian history. There is no Palestinian language, He had a map of Israel that showed it including West Bank, Gaza and Jordan.
So as everyone has emotional moral high ground. Remember that there is another side to the story. Almost every war since the Gulf has stories about murdered babies and every other time the story is fake. If its not fake then everyone should be just as upset of the fact this year 2023 Israel was on record for the killings of Palestinian children. Whose death toll is higher. The soldiers killing Palestinian children should be punished and hamas killing babies should be punished.
Dealing with an extreme right wing government that is doing what we as democrats are trying to stop from happening here. Controlling the courts and controlling the votes. Making sure that minorities are represented and that hate, discrimination and violence are not normalized.
Stop the 3.8 billion to Israel to use for illegal settlements and maintaining apartheid, we need it here to have universal healthcare and pay for our childrens college.

One is a targeted intention to kill children, and it seems you can't comprehend that difference.

Is an untarget dead child any less deader? Like as in how the carpet bombing has vaporized hundreds?

No doubt Israel's response is going to be excessive and extreme and innocents will be killed.

Biden, of course, isn't arguing that the issue should be dealt with emotionally.

I listened to what he said, & that is the impression I got. Unlike Trump, Biden does not lie to us.
