One of the big reasons why I won't ever respect or honor the legacy of Biden is because he is indelibly tied to these historic atrocities happening under his watch and tacit approval. The same will apply to Harris if she continues this shameful legacy in Palestine.

Casually launching missiles that leave 9m deep craters at people sheltering in tents, fucking inhuman. Bu-bu-but HAmAs cOmmAnD CenTeR fuck off.
Its honestly really hard to not be pissed off.
Fuck the way people, especially politicians, will excuse Israel countless war crimes.
The worst part is the way a lot of those people will also openly condemn any kind of support for Palestinian. They praise Israel for its genocide yet pretend Palestinian aren't suffering. They openly support Israel yet they scream at people defending Palestinian to stay neutral and to mind their own business.
Fuck all of them.

Nothing happened when they bombed that charity convoy fronted by that celebrity chef and that was extremely high profile. I expect the Dems are hoping people are going to forget about this soon.
On mobile so i cant really quote but waiting to see if this manifests in US congress and in what form.
Biden is 100% a racist and don't view Palestinians as human beings. And that without mentioning his rabid zionism . Trump support for Israel is purely for selfish reasons because the amount of money he got from pro Israel parties but Biden support is literally ideological.
The most despicable group of people are Isreali politicians, IDF soldiers and the US politicians that enable them.
Been listening to a report on another murdered journalist and sitting there fuming.
Worst part is that it's a US election year and my feed is stuffed with pieces of US politicians pretending they have any humanity in them, like they have any type of morals or values.
Fucking child murderers, the whole lot of them.

There's a lot of terrible things happening right now in the West Bank, which is not Gaza, where there is no Hamas. Any form of resistance is too much - a Palestinian fighting for their rights deserves to die. The rhetoric has reached an all time high of extremism, where its a total subjugation of a people, being treated as animals or worse.
I wanna highlight this part:
"The only thing that has been proven to provide security is when Palestinians are free. But they don't want to do that," Diana Buttu, an attorney in the region and former legal adviser for the Palestinian Liberation Organization, told HuffPost on Thursday. "So instead, Israel lives with this formula that the only way that they can feel secure is if Palestinians feel insecure; that's their way of operating.
Also in the West Bank:

New York, 9 September 2024: The Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict (SRSG-SVC), Ms. Pramila Patten, expresses her deep concern about recently published reports by the United Nations including OHCHR, describing a dramatic deterioration in conditions of detention for Palestinian men, women and children under Israeli custody, since the 7 October attacks and the escalation of hostilities in Gaza. These very disturbing reports of sexual violence and other inhuman and degrading treatment could amount to sexualized torture, perpetrated against Palestinian men and women and include widespread sexual slurs and threats of rape and gang rape, repeated and humiliating strip searches and prolonged forced nudity, beatings and electrocution of genitals and anus, insertion of objects into detainees' anuses, inappropriate touching of women by both male and female soldiers, and photographing or filming of naked or partially undressed detainees in humiliating positions. "Sexual violence and sexualized torture in any form and in any context, and particularly in detention settings, is unacceptable. Such abhorrent acts not only constitute a grave violation of human rights and human dignity but they also undermine efforts towards peace and stability in the region", stated Special Representative Patten who calls for the provision to the victims, of necessary medical and psychological support to begin the healing process.
Special Representative Patten recalls the extensive media coverage of the recent case of the Palestinian male detainee who was hospitalized in July with severe injuries including to his rectum, due to sexual violence allegedly perpetrated in the Sde Teiman military base. Special Representative Patten stresses the importance of upholding international human rights standards and ensuring that detention conditions strictly conform with international norms and standards, and urges Israeli authorities to grant unhindered access to relevant international bodies to detention facilities in Israel and in the occupied Palestinian Territories including Gaza and reiterates her call for independent and thorough investigations by relevant and competent UN bodies into all these alleged violations in order to bring all perpetrators, regardless of rank or affiliation, to justice.
Special Representative Patten acknowledges that some steps were taken by the Israeli Military Police Criminal Investigation Division to investigate the alleged rape of the Palestinian detainee hospitalized in July but remains concerned at the limited number of investigations opened compared to the number of complaints received. "I am particularly concerned about recent attempts by some Israeli political actors, to interfere with ongoing justice processes and/ or to justify the use of these methods. Sexual violence and sexualized torture in detention settings must never be normalized. Impunity emboldens perpetrators, silences victims and undermines prospects for peace. Perpetrators of such heinous crimes must be held accountable and justice must be served", added Special Representative Patten who calls for prompt, thorough, independent, impartial and effective investigations into all alleged violations.
SRSG Patten also expresses her deep sorrow for the recent tragic events involving the killing of six hostages by Hamas while in captivity. She extends heartfelt condolences to the grieving families and reiterates an immediate and unequivocal call for the safe and unconditional release of all remaining hostages and for an immediate ceasefire.

The Mawsawi camp massacre in Khan Yunis is looking really bad. Huge bombs dropped on refugee tents that left 9 meter deep craters. Some bodies have been completely obliterated. They can't even confirm the death count because of it. These massacres happen over and over and the US does nothing to curtail the use of such weaponry, and instead has $20 billion more on its way. Do people still want to give Biden the benefit of the doubt as to what his actual agenda is? The "I've done more for the Palestinian community than anyone else has" guy.
America is literally responsible for all of Israel's crimes so they will always whitewash them. There will be no consequences and unfortunately the only way to change this is for certain politicians to see that it hurts their chances of winning elections if they support bad foreign policy.

A truly horrendous statement. What a lack of empathy.
Good to know he's working out that bullet trajectory though! /s
Biden comes across as Israeli puppet. Just repeats latest lies and talking points 1:1.
Someone should ask him how a bullet ricochet could be fatal like that, and why they fired in the first place, but of course he is too much of a feckless coward to articulate that.
He has no idea what he's talking about. This was nothing like what Blinken said today and would never be an acceptable excuse to roll out like that. It's so preposterous in light of how far it's been reported that the troops were from the protesters. There was no reason for any firing at all so no ricochet should have even happened. If a gunman fires his gun at the wall and it kills a woman is he all good because it was a ricochet? The protest was calm when she was killed!
Biden is dumb as a rock now just totally checked out. He has to be to say something like this so casually without all the details. It's so callous and irresponsible nevermind that it doesn't mesh at all with eye witnesses, what Blinken said, or what the State Dept has said when they say there is still an investigation. Biden looks to be more about Israeli pr than getting to the truth of anything. He's a truly pathetic man.
I mean he ain't a puppet he is a partner to everything that has happened. He supplies the weapons for Israel to do all it wants without checks.
He 100% knows what he's doing. Are we just gonna forget his stance on Israel many decades ago?
He genuinely doesn't give a single F about any Palestinian or anyone sympathetic to them.
Any concession is mealy mouthed nonsense he trots out to act like he's all about international rule based order.
Zero qualms throwing out pure lies for Israel. He's been doing it for decades.
I mean who cares? They are all massive assholes.
May this motherfucker rot in hell one day

"...The convoy was carrying 12 staff members on their way to support the polio vaccination campaign in northern Gaza...The UN vehicles were encircled by Israeli forces and shots were fired. The convoy was then approached by #IDF tanks and a bulldozer, which proceeded to ram the UN vehicles from the front and from the back, compacting the convoy with the UN staff inside. One bulldozer dropped debris on the first vehicle, while Israeli soldiers threatened staff, making it impossible for them to safely exit the vehicles. The convoy remained at gunpoint as senior UN officials engaged with Israeli authorities in an effort to de-escalate the situation..."

Jesus Christ. He talks like it's everyone else's obligation to get out of the way of the IDF's bullets. What a total and utter miscarriage of justice, every single fucking day.
Is the Israeli government even saying that, I thought they were saying they were trying to shoot another person and "missed". He couldn't even get the talking points right.
Some real garbage ass nonsense from Biden all to not hold Israel accountable.
Biden has this mythology of Israel as some kind of ultimate reparation from the West in the aftermath of the Holocaust and thus is something that must be emphatically defended at all costs. He's always been fanatical about Israel since he's been a Senator in the 1970s. I believe he even said "we'd create a new Israel" if the state in Palestine were to no longer exist. It's an antiquated form of Zionism that he himself subscribes to and projects to the people every day while he's the President. As a result, the Palestinian people are in the process of being completely wiped out because of this nonsensical no red line policy. A truly shameful chapter in American history

We, the undersigned civil society organizations, are deeply concerned at the enduring devastation in Gaza. Canada risks complicity in this humanitarian catastrophe through its ongoing transfer of military goods destined to Israel, exports which are incompatible with its obligations under the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT). As organizations committed to upholding human rights, the protection of civilians, peace, and justice—several of whom are present in Gaza and seeing daily the grave consequences of the transfer of weapons to conflict parties—we urge the Government of Canada to take immediate action to cease all exports of arms and arms components to Israel, as well as any and all transfers for which Israel will be the end user.
In the past ten months, more than 40,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel's military campaign across the Gaza Strip, the majority being women and children. More than 92,000 have been injured and critical civilian infrastructure has been destroyed. Over the last few weeks only, Israel attacked at least seven schools. They add to the long list of schools, hospitals, refugee camps and places of worship hit since October—many of these crowded with displaced civilians sheltering from the violence.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the adoption of the ATT, which Canada acceded to five years ago. Under the ATT, Canada is prohibited from exporting arms if those transfers would be used to commit serious crimes under international law including disproportionate and indiscriminate attacks. Moreover, states parties to the Treaty cannot authorize arms transfers if there is an overriding risk they could be misused, including to commit or facilitate serious violations of international humanitarian law (IHL)—the very type of behaviour that has become routine by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). These obligations are also reflected under domestic law in Canada's Export and Import Permits Act (EIPA).
In addition, the International Court of Justice's (ICJ) order to halt Israel's military offensive in Rafah due to the plausible risk of genocide as well as its July 19th Advisory Opinion which found that Israel's prolonged occupation of the occupied Palestinian territory is unlawful are significant international legal findings that call for concrete policy changes, and not just on the part of Israel. Canada needs to urgently review its own cooperation practices to ensure they prevent international crimes and do not contribute towards any further violations of international law.
To be sure, earlier this year it was reported that your government had paused the further authorization of arms transfers to Israel, which was a definitive step in the right direction. However, since then, the extent of this policy has not been officially outlined, proposed permits for arms transfers to Israel have not been denied but rather left in limbo for future authorization, and, most disturbingly, previously approved arms transfers have continued unabated.
We are extremely concerned that these previously authorized transfers include at least $95 million in Canadian military goods that could be exported to Israel by the end of 2025, despite the ongoing and well-documented pattern of IHL and human rights violations by Israel in Gaza and the West Bank. The continuous arming of Israel by Canada contradicts our country's commitment to upholding IHL and human rights. It also undermines efforts to end hostilities in Gaza through the implementation of a ceasefire, which Canada has pledged to support.
On August 14th, the United States government announced that a Quebec-based company, General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems Inc., will be the principal contractor in the likely sale of $61-million US in high explosive mortar cartridges and related equipment to Israel. This announcement directly contradicts the claims made by the Canadian government that the only outstanding military exports to Israel are for "non-lethal" military equipment. In addition, all of Canada's arms exports are subject to ATT obligations, even those transferred under a General Export Permit to the United States.
Canada cannot credibly prioritize diplomatic solutions and support for peace while simultaneously contributing to the arming of a conflict in which violations of IHL are persistent and well-documented. By halting all military exports that could be used in the hostilities—including those via the United States—Canada will not only comply with its international and domestic legal obligations, but also take a principled stance in advancing the rule of law, human rights and compliance with IHL, thereby reinforcing its international reputation as a defender of these values.
We urge your office to refuse the transfer of the recently announced mortar cartridge sale with the United States and to cease all military exports to Israel—both direct and those transferred through the United States—including by revoking all extant permits. We remain committed to working with the Government of Canada to meet its legal obligations, uphold our shared values and to promote peace and justice both at home and abroad. We trust that you will give this matter the urgent attention it requires and look forward to your response.
Sincerely,

Good lord him still not calling them is so damn crazy. He doesn't even care about keeping up appearance anymore.
that's because Biden's politics are closer to the kind of guy that would go to a Trump rally's than they are with a peace activist's
A bipartisan competition for who can bend the farthest backwards for Israel with pro settlement extremists in attendance. Of course the current administration made sure to show up too.
It is extremely depressingly obvious that there are massive amounts of anti-Arab racism at the highest levels of Washington
Judging from the debate Kamala's policy is still to have as vague and non-committal a policy as she can get away with.
