What the fuck

Reuters confirms details of Israeli forces strapping wounded Palestinian to the hood of a jeep like a trophy deer: www.reuters.com/world/middle...

Israeli forces strap wounded Palestinian to jeep during raidwww.reuters.com Israeli army forces strapped a wounded Palestinian man to the hood of the military jeep during an arrest raid in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin on Saturday.

The moment you no longer can see taht other humans are human is the moment you yourself are no longer human.

This is who they sell weapons to. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Key Democrats approve major arms sale to Israel, including F-15swww.washingtonpost.com Under pressure from the Biden administration, Rep. Gregory W. Meeks (D-N.Y.) approved the multibillion-dollar sale despite concerns about the Gaza death toll.

Honest question: do they have a choice? Because there are certain rules requiring the US to sell a specific amount of weapons to Israel every year. I’m all for getting mad if we really should.

They're actually legally obligated not to sell to Israel if they cared; the Leahy Act specifically prohibits sale of weapons to human rights violators, which the State Dept has acknowledged Israel is. www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/5/...

How the US violates its own laws to ensure military support for Israelwww.aljazeera.com The Biden administration has refused to restrict US funding to Israeli army units that committed rights violations.

The president has significant authority to halt those shipments regardless, and the updated F-15s are not part of any existing obligations.

Sorry Gazans, the rules say the death mill has to stay on. Nothing we can do, it’s the rules you see.

This is exactly how people get manipulated into voting for the GOP (or staying home) who will gleefully wipe the Gazans off the face of the earth. Instead of the Dems that are trying to find a workable solution with a sovereign country. But that’s not what you’re trying to do, right?

My point is that rules are fine until they are an impediment to doing good. The sanctity of a rule is far less important to me than the sanctity of human life. I will agree that the dems are working for a workable solution. A solution that sees them reelected without having to take any moral stand

IDF 🤝 Mad Max biker gang

A self-defense mounting of an injured man to the hood, I'm sure. Hmm, I believe the official term is "Human Shield" in that kind of defense situation.

They've lost all humanity, it's truly dystopian Mad Max there now.

It has *been* this way, VoteBlue4ever. It has been this way. Since the beginning

A diseased society

the IDF is collectively a cartoon villain at this point

That's barbaric!

they're counting on Hms having a lot more humanity than them.

Bibi and every conservative official in Israel need to be deposed ASAP.

They've been doing this for decades. Search "IDF human shields" for more info

I've never seen this before and I didn't expect it to happen, yet I'm in no way surprised.

Yeah they do that a lot. Human shields First heard of them doing that like 15 years ago and I'm sure that's not when it started Usually it's kids tho

Zionism

Irredeemable

Doing this to a living, injured human being is unconscionable.

How is it that the leader of this immoral shit show is going to speak to congress?

And that's who we invite to speak to a joint session of Congress. Kim Jong Un must be livid.

No, this is all fine. Nothing to see here. This is what defending your nation from an attack that occurred 8 months ago looks like. Totally standard procedure.

But remember, Biden likes Israel so this CAN’T be wrong
