US won’t punish Israel for Rafah op that doesn’t protect civilians
US won’t punish Israel for Rafah op that doesn’t protect civilians
Public comments by senior Biden administration officials made clear there won’t be a change in approach.
Just a stern look.
Jfc. So Biden is willing to stand by and watch yet another genocide continue.
Of all the nations who are powerful enough to do something but won't, America should know better.
Three U.S. officials, granted anonymity to detail internal discussions, told NatSec Daily no reprimand plans are in the works, meaning Israeli forces could enter the city and harm civilians without facing American consequences. More than half of the enclave’s 2.3 million population has fled to Rafah, putting them in clear danger whenever the operation moves beyond the bombing phase.
Don't worry. When enough civilians will be killed, Biden will "reprimand" and write a strongly worded letter.
America is the genocidal empire dawg.
Oh so they thought they were just going pay lip service. Great.
The Biden administration is not planning to punish Israel if it launches a military campaign in Rafah without ensuring civilian safety.

What even is the point of this article?
It's complete speculation and rage bait based on a hypothetical that hasn't happened yet and a false premise that makes the story sound atrocious.
It is not Israel's job to ensure civilian safety.
It is Israel's job to take reasonable efforts to minimize unnecessary civilian casualties and by all credible accounts they are doing that with telephone calls, text messages, and roof knocking.
If Hamas tells people the evacuation calls are a hoax, or otherwise coerces or forces people to stay behind, as they do, Israel has done all it is required to do by any standard of international law. They are prosecuting a war not hosting a tea party.

Were they doing said job when they sniped a 14 year old girl outside a hospital while she was going to get water?

Except it is. And warning people who are stuck in an area the size of a fucking airport isn't a warning it's a terroristic threat. The IDF must let aid in and must let civilians evacuate through it's lines so they can leave the combat area.
No. No. Yes and yes.
