    Biden […] gave Netanyahu an ultimatum: implement “specific, concrete” steps to alleviate the crisis and protect civilians, or run the risk of the U.S. changing its policy towards Gaza.

    Ultimatum, my ass. “I’m going to think about doing something” isn’t a consequence.

    I doubt many aid orgs are going to want to go into Gaza after Israel killed the WCK workers. And that chilling effect is intentional.

    Much like they said they won’t force any Palestinians out of Gaza (we’ll just kill them if they stay), they’ll allow aid into Gaza (but we’ll kill them if they come).

      I’m shocked anyone takes israel at their word anymore. This seems like a calculated PR move at best so that they can claim that they’ve been letting aid through, even if aid workers are in too much danger to get the aid in or that it’s too little aid that is actually able to get in.

      You think you know something but maybe not. Biden has been doing a lot more than you know about.

        Just type your thoughts as words or paste a link to an article.

        Ain’t nobody got time for your links to long ass videos of strangers talking (timestamped to the got-dang middle ass of the video).

          Beau is insightful as all fuck, and has a deep understanding of american foreign policy. Hes well worth listening to.

            He has also been convicted of human trafficking. But he doesn’t like chatting about that. His “military contractor” background is beyond sketchy. He also is a big fan of making claims without sources.

            Beau says a lot of stuff that makes my politics happy, but he’s not the emblem of that ideology in the slightest.

            That’s good to know. Say that. Try saying, ‘This guy, _____, gives a great explanation of why ________.’

            Without context, I have no ideas what I’m watching.

            Look at foggy: now I know this beau guy is a popular commentator on military and foreign policy, but is controversial to some due to personal run ins with the law. That’s good context.
