“My colleagues can no longer deny that this is genocide,” said Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Michigan). “We must follow our own U.S. laws. We need an Arms Embargo now.”
On Thursday, Amnesty released a sprawling report determining that Israel’s assault of Gaza amounts to genocide, citing Israel’s relentless attacks, blocking of humanitarian aid, targeting of health and other basic infrastructure, forced displacement of 90 percent of Gaza’s population, and more.
Amnesty is the first major international humanitarian organization to outright label Israel’s actions as a genocide. The group was also one of the first major human rights organizations to label Israel’s violent occupation and oppression of Palestine as apartheid, back in 2022.
The human rights group, one of the largest in the world, specifically called out the U.S. as a major collaborator in the genocide due to the Biden administration’s policy of sending Israel weapons with zero red lines. Just last week, despite Israel’s clear, ongoing campaign of ethnic cleansing in northern Gaza, reports emerged of the Biden administration advancing yet another sale of weapons to Israel worth $680 million.
What you wrote made it evident that you are a genocide denier.
No it doesn’t
If you say so. Tell us again how nothing is genocide.
I haven’t and I didn’t. Why don’t you imagine what someone else might say.
You have spent the past year and change defending it.
Don’t act like your genocide denialism isn’t a pattern of behavior.
Man now you’re going make up shit for the last year! Brilliant!
If you want to pretend that you haven’t been shoveling genocide apologia all this time, that’s your lie to tell, I guess.
I’m leaving this conversation before it gets declared a slapfight.
Good.
