Political Discussion
Biden and Blinken are seen as jokes in Israel and the region. Both put the interests of Israel before the interests of the US. Anything they say publicly about Israel restraining itself, not targeting civilians, hospitals bombing, etc is for US consumption. We all heard Blinken’s and Biden’s publicly statements in Israel and some of the private comments were leaked. Now you can judge what Blinken and Biden say privately to Israel by the actions of Israel. Israel has openly ridiculed Blinken’s and Biden’s calls for restrain and have in fact increased their operations and continued to target civilians in Gaza. This is after Biden calls for them to stop. Blinken has never called for a stop or restraint. He has shown crocodile tears for the 22,000 Palestinians kills but is quick to add Israel has a right to defend itself. Like killing 22,000 civilians is self defend? Also look at who Blinken meets with in the region. It is Israel and the PA in the West Bank. The PA in the West Bank has no power and is just for window dressing. The regional powers know Blinken is totally in for Israel. So why meet with Israel’s lackey? |
| Please stop saying "over 20k civilians". Using their own stats 61-63% of that number are civilians bringing the horrific number down to a still horrific 13-14k. The others are Hamas fighters and not civilians. As is true in every single war/fight/battle/school shooting ever fought around the world, the number should not be conflated. |
The IDF claims that 33% of the dead are Hamas. Nobody else has made any claim and the IDF has never defined who they consider Hamas. There is circumstantial evidence that, in terms of their numbers, the IDF is counting all males over the age of 16 as Hamas. |
This may or may not be true. But who cares? Bliken has best interest of U.S. in mind, that is what matters to me. The wants and desires of Palestinians are not my priority. |
DP. Uncited “circumstantial” evidence versus IDF statements about Hamas casualties? Gotta go with IDF here. |
Umm…no. Blinken has the best interests of Israel in mind not U.S. Every single policy decision taken by Blinken has been only to the benefit of Israel, for the U.S it has actually made us targets. |
| The NY Times article about terrorists’ October 7 rapes is chilling. Should make even the most ferocious Jew haters and/or Israel haters reconsider their hatreds. |
Read more carefully. The IDF has never defined who it counts as Hamas. It has also never claimed a numbetr besides a 1:2 ratio. When the numbers are broken down by age and gender 1/3 of the dead are adult males. |
