In a statement, Biden said that while Israel has taken responsibility for her death, the U.S. government expects continued access as the investigation continues over the circumstances of the shooting. “There must be full accountability. And Israel must do more to ensure that incidents like this never happen again,” Biden said.

    Remember when he had those words about sanctioning high ranking members of Israel’s government if the genocide continued?

    Then he sanctioned some broke ass “settlers” for a week or two and pulled it back once everyone had clapped for him.

        I think this quote from Harris in the debate sums up the American support for the genocide. You can’t except the former colonial genocidal regime to oppose the new one they propped up.

        And so absolutely, I said then, I say now, Israel has a right to defend itself. We would.

        Edit: it seems most people think I ment this was a good thing? No, America isn’t inherently good.

        This statement shows how America supports the genocide because America would be willing to do similar slaughter if an attack happened to us (look at our post 9/11 actions for an example of the destruction we are willing to cause). It also shows how she not only recognizes but supports this view.

          When I hear that, who is Israel defending it self from if Gaza and the West Bank are not separate nations? Are they part of Israel and Israel is defending itself against itself?

          ‘Defend itself’ makes sense in the context of Iran or Hezbollah, but the thousands of men, women, and children killed in Gaza that are not involved in the fighting aren’t external threats. They are victims of apartheid.

            She literally clarified that she was going to provide weapons for defense from Iran and its puppets, that she will fight for a 2 state solution, and called for a cease fire. Like a sentence later.

            Jfc. Race to the bottom, though I don’t blame you when this guy is purposely taking things out of context.
