The Biden administration says Israel has made good but limited progress in increasing the flow of humanitarian aid to Gaza and it will not limit arms transfers to Israel as it had threatened to a month ago if the situation had not improved.
“We are not giving Israel a pass,” Patel said, adding that “we want to see the totality of the humanitarian situation improve, and we think some of these steps will allow the conditions for that to continue to progress.”
Biden is pathetic
This is the entire U.S. political structure barring a few decent individuals.
They can have a little aid, as a treat.
Jesus fucking christ, they’ve killed more than 40 THOUSAND PEOPLE
STOP GIVING THEM FUCKING GUNS.
40k is way small comparatively to other more easily solvable issues.
*Hamas has killed more than 40 THOUSAND PEOPLE, by deliberately placing its military supplies and operations in and around civilian areas to maximize any collateral damage.

Okay, let me preface this by saying fuck Hamas. They’re horrible.
But, just for a moment, put yourself in the shoes of a resistance movement. Where are you supposed to put your supplies or operations? In bases far from civilian populations? You’ll just get bombed to shit.
No, you have to hide them. And unfortunately the easiest way to hide people and stuff is around other people and stuff.
Guerrilla warfare is the reality of modern combat in cases where a large, powerful military is fighting a smaller, weaker resistance.
This isn’t done so that your enemy can’t take out your operations and supplies without collateral damage, although that is a side effect. It’s primarily about not being taken out in the first place.
If you are the larger, powerful military, you need to adapt. You don’t get to blow up hospitals and schools and then blame your targets for hiding among civilians.

More than 120,000 when including death from disease and malnutrition (see https://truthout.org/articles/us-health-workers-back-from-gaza-estimate-death-toll-is-at-least-119000/)
Wonderful. I get they’re an important ally because we radicalized the entire region against us by repeatedly destabilizing governments and bombing the shit out of people, but for the love of god, they don’t need any more fucking weapons. They have huge numbers already.
The only reason they’d need more is so they can kill more people, or threaten literally all of their neighbors who are not very happy at the massacre that’s happening in gaza. Stop fucking giving them more. This shit costs us money and resources and for what? More senseless loss of life? I’m fuckin tired man.
“Oh good! You let some cereal in. I guess you can have a little genocide as a treat!”
“We’re not giving Isreal a pass.” Said the Biden official while giving Isreal a pass.
