The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have said they carried out an airstrike on a humanitarian aid convoy in Gaza aimed at “armed assailants” trying to hijack it but the charity that organised the aid said people killed in the strike were employees of the transport company it was working with.
The convoy, organised by the US-based NGO Anera, was carrying medical supplies and fuel to an Emirati-run hospital in Rafah on Thursday evening at the time of the attack. Its route had been coordinated in advance with the IDF, under a deconfliction process intended to prevent aid vehicles being bombed.
Anera’s Palestine country director, Sandra Rasheed, said: “This is a shocking incident. The convoy, which was coordinated by Anera and approved by Israeli authorities, included an Anera employee who was fortunately unharmed.
Which was allowed under Congress’s authorization. The president can’t sell weapons to just anyone. Well unless they’re part of the Republican cult.
And you know unless he fucking wants to.
Stop trying to absolve him.
Where did I try to absolve him? I think it was wrong that he did it. But it’s still falls to the congress. Why do you always have to rely on strawman and arguing things that people never said? Well I mean besides the fact that you’re likely a foreigner who has no idea what they’re talking about.
Stop being a cunt mate.
You literally said
…
Calm down there Donald, the evil foreigners aren’t out to get you.
Blue MAGA is so real.
That doesn’t absolve him.
Chum used the plural, arms. If someone ships you arms once, have they arms you. Or have they armed you. English 101.
Chum was putting the current situation entirely on the president’s shoulders. Where it doesn’t belong. Biden armed them once, by bypassing pre approval by Congress once. Shortly after the attack. Before it was unabashedly clear Israel’s goal was genocide. I still think it was wrong of biden to do it that one time. Since then he’s also stopped/delayed arms too. But I digress.
I know the goal of the left is to divide the left. But it’s still a bit jarring to see those like yourself who try to identity as left. Acting as footsoldiers for the bourgeoisie for free. Screeching ignorant BS like “blue maga” because you’re more concerned with virtue signaling. Than engaging with reality and effecting positive change. My state lost a pro Palestinian Congress person. Because a bunch of people were more interested in virtue signaling against biden, than funding and supporting Congress people that supported Palestine. And pushing primary candidates against those who don’t. Enjoy your empty victory?
Pretty sure
It has little to nothing to do with the president.
Is a direct absolvement.
Hmm,

“For the second time this month the Biden administration is bypassing Congress to approve an emergency weapons sale to Israel as Israel continues to prosecute its war against Hamas in Gaza under increasing international criticism.”
Let’s look at that “English 101” again…I’m pretty sure doing something multiple times doesn’t count as once…
So Biden did in fact arm them and it doesn’t have “little to nothing to do with the president”?
The UN had called for the international community to recognize the threat of genocide over a month before Biden bypassed Congress twice to send them weapons to carry out said genocide
https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2023/11/gaza-un-experts-call-international-community-prevent-genocide-against
“They illustrated evidence of increasing genocidal incitement, overt intent to “destroy the Palestinian people under occupation”, loud calls for a ‘second Nakba’ in Gaza and the rest of the occupied Palestinian territory, and the use of powerful weaponry with inherently indiscriminate impacts, resulting in a colossal death toll and destruction of life-sustaining infrastructure.”
Also, very gross to whitewash israel. It’s been clear the goal was genocide since before oct-7 even happened.
People have been calling for an end to Israels genocidal apartheid for decades, history didn’t start the day after oct-7. I’ve personally been opposing Israels genocidal actions and rhetoric since at least 2015, Biden doesn’t have an excuse.
Here’s amnesty calling out the apartheid from 2022.

Here’s the UN in 2016.

Biden can not claim ignorance, and you shouldn’t try to grant him that excuse, it’s just genocide apologia.
Ah so it is all about circle jerking and empty virtue signaling for you. The apartheid has been going on close to 80 years at this point. Since before Biden was in high school let alone the Senate. If you want to prove that Biden was some evil Super Genius grade school kid. You’re going to need something more than a link to something that happened in 2022.
Again. The United States government has always had it’s part in the responsibility for the partition of Palestine and supporting Israeli apartheid. And Biden for his time in the Senate and presidency does bear some responsibility as well. But it’s the institution of the Congress that is largely to blame for it. Not Biden. Despite University signaling and circle jerking. I at least believe you’re misguided but genuine. The people who are strategically doing this all have adjusted up their language to go after Harris now. To depress turnout for her so Trump will have a better chance of winning. Why either of you is still so obsessed over Biden who won’t even be in office in 4 months. But either way there’s no intelligent conversation with you. So blocked and by Felicia.
Lol what.
Absolve: declare (someone) free from guilt.
Their comment
Is objectively an absolvement of Bidens role in the genocide. I’m not changing words here, youre just denying the obvious.
What the hell are you talking about. I didn’t say Biden started the damned apartheid state. I said he actively chose to arm the apartheid genocidal state, YOU Are the one who said he armed them NOW.
Also "stop virtue signaling over genocide is an absolutely insane and EVIL thing to say or believe.
So what is it, has been evil so we can’t blame Biden for that, or Biden couldn’t have known Israel would do evil with the weapons so we can’t blame Biden?
You can’t have both.
** You** are tying yourself in knots to defend someone carrying out a genocide. I’m simply pointing out the fact that he is objectively responsible for arming the genocide.
Maybe grow up and stop blocking anyone who disagrees with you…but I guess the cognitive dissonance hurts too bad when you have to think about how you are actively supporting a literal genocide? .
Oh you fucking legend. I had no time to reply to all their nonsense but you put in so much effort. Thanks mate!
