    If concessions can not be made to save these lives even with the entire world watching, then I do not want to hear falsehoods about caring for human rights.

      I’ve been very cautious to reserve the word “Genocide” because I didn’t want to devalue it with hyperbole. For years, I’ve said that Israel is ethnically cleansing historic Palestine. But reading this article… I think this is the point where it becomes genocide, full and proper.

      It’s shocking to bear witness to.

        And Biden, Blinken, etc have lashed themselves to the mast next to Netanyahu and Likud, promising a blank check no matter what.

        Usually I’m OK with Biden (I think the way he handled Ukraine was pretty damn good) but this is a disastrous decision on our part.

          I can only hope that his tough talk in public is covering for behind the scenes pressure on Isreal to have a ceasefire.
