No not at all. Everyone was mostly focused on white people getting murdered by israels Genocide. It was a truly eventful day of israeli war crimes after which Joe Biden still fully supports israel and doesn't place restrictions on arms usage.
More like American media was focused on white people killings.
To an American, none of these people (Israelis, Iranians, Palestinians) are white. I don't know why it even got brought up alongside select headlines of the day.
The world central kitchen aid workers are who people are referring to as white
Yeah not in most of America.
I've also not yet personally met a person that equates an American Jew with an Israeli.
In all honesty, every American Jew I know has always made fun of Israelis as a kind of "other". Like how Americans make fun of the British. There's a relationship there but you're not the same.
Israelis are middle easterners, and no middle easterners are white to an American. That doesn't mean we don't pick sides like we did with Saddam... twice.
What the fuck did I say about american Jews?
Kapo trash have invested a lot of media and capital in the idea that they are white. The original settlers were Europeans. They do white supremacist shit like sterilizing Ethiopian Jews who come in. They're very invested in the concept of whiteness. Kind of a conscious national project emulating what irish-americans did a century or so ago.
Yeah my experience with American Jews relating to those fuckers is that reactions range from embarrassment to outrage.
You're the only one equating the two. Please stop. You're going to get someone killed by an idiot who doesn't understand the difference and thinks they're doing a good thing. What the fuck is wrong with you?
That is incorrect. Biden stated that he contacted Netanyahu after the attack and insisted on diplomatic response. There is no reason to expect this to escalate.
This is incorrect. Bidens words are empty and mean absolutely nothing. Two weeks ago:
Biden has not placed any restrictions on arms. His empty hypocritical words mean nothing as his actions show the opposite.
Those goalposts heavy?
The only other time Biden pressed Netanyahu was after the aid workers attack. He said they needed to open more corridors to aid immediately. The IDF opened three corridors the next day. Words are all Biden needs at this time. He should use them more.
There are already restrictions on the arms. They are required to be used within international law. I agree that the IDF should be held accountable for their misuse.
That is incorrect as well. Israel lied about opening a corridor
And forced trucks to split their loads in half to double count them
So aside from israel faking numbers not much has changed. The famine has officially started.
