The Biden Administration has announced that it does not formally believe that Israel’s actions against Gaza rise yet to the official definition of genocide.
BIbi’s Big Ride
•
Biden told Israel the US would stop supplying bombs to Israel if it insists on bombing “population centers” in Rafah in the Gaza Strip.
The Amazingly Languid Adventures of Bidenman
•
Joe Biden’s “pause” of a bomb delivery Israel is the embodiment of way too little, way too late to help the Palestinians of Gaza. He’s like the world’s slowest superhero.
No Place for Violence
•
Even as he funnels tens of billions of dollars in weapons to Israel to help it bomb the Gaza Strip, President Biden lectures college students about being too violent as they try to protect themselves from riot police.
Correlation Does Not Equal Causation, Even in Gaza
•
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his supporters keep repeating the talking point that all of the civilian casualties in Gaza should be blamed upon Hamas because Hamas begin the latest conflict with his attack on October 7. By their logic, literally anything that they chose to do after October 7 would be justifiable.
Old Enough to Kill, Too Young to Protest
•
If you are 18 years old and an antiwar protester, old militarists will say that you’re too young and naïve and ignorant to understand the complexities of foreign policy and should just shut up. But if you’re 18 years old, and you don’t know anything about anything, they are happy to send you to go kill people in those very same foreign conflicts you don’t know anything about.
History Doesn’t Repeat, It Weeps
•
Right-wing House Speaker Mike Johnson demands that Columbia University President Minouche Shafik sic the National Guard against peaceful antiwar protesters. That’s always worked out so well in the past…
Logic Broad Jump
•
The linguistic contortions used by supporters of Israel to accuse their critics of antisemitism are truly incredible.
Ceasefire…NOW.
•
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his close ally President Joe Biden are both playing for time, pretending to be opposed to what’s going on while not changing anything. As Biden sends Netanyahu more money and more weapons, day by day the Gaza Strip is being ethnically cleansed. Even now, it’s probably too late for a ceasefire to do much good.
Last Supper
•
At the same time the Biden Administration sends another $60 billion to Israel to help it kill Palestinian civilians in Gaza, the US Air Force drops food aid into the beleaguered occupied territory. If you must die, don’t die hungry.
