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.
Words are empty if not backed up by actions.
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.
Not doubting you, but as I don’t recall this (probably because of the exhausting news cycle) citations would help.
Anyways, I’m encouraged by the fact that other countries that are similarly allied like the UK are starting to say no. The US might not have been ready to be the first one or the only one from this group, but hopefully it will do the right thing when others like the UK set the right example…
What are you going to do to ensure israel complies mr biden. I’m guessing what you usually do, fuck all.
“I will continue to support policies that hold all extremists – Israelis and Palestinians alike – accountable for stoking violence and serving as obstacles to peace,” Biden said.
Considering there have been no consequences so far, I expect that this statement is true, in that he will continue to “hold them accountable” by not actually doing anything.
No, wait, it’ll probably be more money and weapons.
Reuters not honest enough to write “killing” much less “murder”.
Oh, so now it’s important when someone gets killed over there
