Biden Warns Israel Not to Occupy Gaza
Biden Warns Israel Not to Occupy Gaza
While the president has stood strongly behind Israel since Hamas attacked, he said on “60 Minutes” that a new occupation of Gaza would “be a big mistake.”

Stop funding it.
It's this part.
We're telling them they've gone too far, seeing rules... and giving them weapons. Are we giving them seasons so they listen?
And if they don't listen, doesn't this make us complicit and with exceedingly poor intensional optics?
They know that the worst that will happen is a stern warning. "Don't do that again, but it was justified. But don't do it... OK, just a little bit, but still."
The wink and the nod really spoil the effect of the stern look and strong finger wagging...
What stern looks? I'm not seeing them.

I think they meant to say sanctions, not seasons.

My guess is "setting rules"

"We're telling you not to do this thing, and we assure you all we'll ever do about you still doing it is to tell you again not to do it whilst carrying on helping you to do it"
How much Israeli money do you reckon went into the pockets of members of the fascist "freedom" caucus?
Congress would need to initiate it unfortunately

Your post uses double speak. Opening with Hamas and switching to Palestine.
Hamas was democratically elected but they stopped allowing elections. They don't represent Palestine and intentionally conflating relief efforts with funding Hamas comes off as more than a little racist.
If you're parroting some news source you may want to look for your news someplace else. If these are really your own views you may want to examine them if you don't like sounding racist.
If you don't mind, then by all means, carry on. Just don't expect to be taken seriously outside of right wing circles.
Also worth adding, since people don't seem to realise this: The majority of Palestinians alive today were not of voting age when Hamas won those elections, and a very substantial proportion were not even born.
And even then, of course, while Hamas won the largest number of votes, even back then they still only had the support of a minority (ca. 44%) of the electorate.
Exit polls during the same election showed near 80% support for a peace agreement with Israel, and 75% who wanted Hamas policy towards Israel to change. In other words: It's also disingenuous to see even the support for Hamas that was there in elections as support for the more extreme aspects of Hamas' actions.
In other words, the vast majority of people in Gaza want the PA administration wants Hamas stripped of power. Given the numbers, this includes even people who have a positive view of Hamas overall.
