U.S. officials said they have privately outlined several steps to Israel to reduce civilian casualties in its military campaign in the Gaza Strip, including using smaller bombs, when going after Hamas leaders and infrastructure.

I’ve never heard of a more centrist solution to wanton military killing than asking them to please use smaller bombs

Biden 24: He Reduced Civilian Casualties

One side wants to bomb children, the other side wants the bombing to stop. Centrist compromise position (very smart, serious people): use child sized bombs.

Some people say, "Stop bombing." Other people say, "The bombing is fine. " We have the courage to say, "Let's bomb differently."

On reflection, change "bombing" to "killing children"

[cluster bomb has entered the chat] Centrists: nooo not like that

ok heres our plan - they get a 30 minute break to eat lunch and go to the bathroom, then you come back in with smaller bombs. we're the good guys by the way
Avatar
Maybe write "FOR HAMAS ONLY" on the bombs so the Palestinians killed in job lots & having their homes destroyed know we don't MEAN Them? WTF do we keep doing the same insane thing thinking THIS time it'll work like we planned & NOT create the next generation willing to die to kill Israel & the US?

“we’ll just complete the genocide of the Palestinian people with *smaller bombs*” are you fucking KIDDING ME

Lauren they're tiny bombs, and the IDF points at them with their fingers and tells them to only detonate on Hamas targets, so they're clearly safe, come on
Avatar
Wow you’re right obviously - they know exactly what they’re doing and everyone who is killed is always Hamas, so what am I even worried about
Avatar
They tell those bombs VERY STERNLY

Oh shit they use parent voice on the targeted bombs???? Damn I clearly don’t know wtf I’m talking about

So tiny is not dangerous and always accurate? Can I take my toenail clippers to your body then? I promise I will only target the nails.

First time I've ever felt threatened by a pedicure 🙃

But I could promise it would be as accurate as NazIsrael bombing Hamas.

Lol “use smaller bombs” & “reduce” but not stop casualties. Good grief. Wonder if they’ll still be singing this tune after the likely 100k+ March on Washington for Palestine numbers come in. @youcaughtscott.bsky.social @ohrobin.bsky.social @shahbbles.bsky.social

Oh, but hey! The House overwhelming voted for a resolution condemning Hamas... or at least, condemning talking about them on U.S. college campuses, because That'll Show 'Em All! I found out about this when some Right-Wing troll said, "How do you Libburuls defend Not Condemning Hamas Derp Derp Derp?"

If you drop a 500 pound bomb as opposed to a 1000 pound bomb, will the occupants of the ambulance it hits be any less dead?

I’m not going to vote for this bullshit.

So you will vote for Trump to continue this policy while deporting Palastians? Like you understand Biden didn’t start this fire or are you pretending not to?
Avatar
He has positioned two aircraft carriers to guarantee that Israel does whatever it wants without interference. Billions of dollars pour in with no strings attached while genocide is committed. Biden’s support for genocide may be unconditional but my support for Biden is not.
Avatar
I’m watching this in horror from Australia, the government I supported is marching in lockstep with the US on this genocide and I will never vote for them again .
Avatar
And that is different from what a Republican president would do because why?
Avatar
You’d like this to turn into a larger regional war with more death? I mean that’s a take I guess.

For those who don’t want to read all the way ahead, he never addressed my question.
Avatar
The US funding, arming, and physically backing up the occupation is definitely contributing to the massive civilian death toll and decades of horror
Avatar
It sure does for the 50 years+ but people who never cared about that suddenly do and seem to think it's all Biden or something new. Its awful just as it has nothing to do with partisanship or party, it's constant US foreign policy.

What’s your line gonna be after this is over? “Facts on the ground?” “We made a mistake but lessons were learned?” “An unfortunate historical necessity?” “They did it to themselves?” once it’s all been done, what will the excuse be?
Avatar
For those who don’t want to read all the way ahead, it’s basically “facts on the ground”
Avatar
You didn’t address my question. Do you want this to be a larger war? Do you want Iran to get involved? Do you want Hezbollah to be more involved? I have no lines. I’m simply asking what you think would happen if there weren’t aircraft carriers there?
Avatar
Theres more than 2 options JFC. Biden is going to give us another GOP term, be mad at him, not the people refusing to support genocide.

So Trump would be different on policy how? Biden, Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, they have been different on Israel how?
Avatar
Again, please learn to read. Literally no one has said anything about voting for Trump.

> We Are Standing Still @nothingfromnada.bsky.social > I’m not going to vote for this bullshit. Huh. How should that be interpreted then?

Very evil thank you!
