[quote=CRedskinsRule;1361231]When Johnson can hold up aid that has overwhelming Congressional support, that directly affects US foreign policy. Biden submitted, and the Senate passed an aid bill that directly addressed the southern border as well but Johnson pigeonholed it. And people worldwide (in the US too) have died as a result. That is on the Republicans. Biden's incompetence is on the Democrat's, and ultimately we citizens will bear the brunt of both.

Giant this is how you respond to a post you disagree with. Your response (just above this) was back to your normal form of being juvenile, insulting and not and adding a bit of value to the conversation or board.

You haven't learned a thing, chico does not warrant civil discourse, yes it's that simple. WTFU.

Honestly to add your constant bitching about Biden is almost as annoying anything chico throws out. Make no mistake I am not a fan but he is one hundred times better then the alternative.

Not here for your approval, I will respond any damn way I want. Agreeing at any point with chico is what is juvenile.

Pretty disappointing to hear crickets in here about the rampant, nonstop antisemitism across this country.

Literally tiki torches marches and violence every week across the country towards Jews and Biden been relatively quiet.

It's the result of 3 decades of complete progressive control of universities. Shouldn't be a surprise. And it's been crickets on every subject in here for months.

All levels of education. Up to and through universities.

I think it is time for the Biden administration and Congress to buck up and at the very least threaten to withhold funds from Israel. In the span of a week Netanyahu has been culpable in the death of two Americans Hersh Goldberg-Polin and Aysenur Ezgi Eygi. Not to mention the Palestinian Americans and aid workers that were also killed earlier.

I will give the IDF credit they are very good at mistakenly killing people.

We know they won't do the right thing to close to an election to do the right thing.

Yeah I disagree with all of our old and new elected leaders on this. I support Israel's right to defend itself, but that doesn't include killing civilians who want nothing to do with that conflict.

Have they killed any civilians that have nothing to do with the conflict? I'm just pointing out there is a distinction. The Iranian shootdown of the Ukrainian passenger plane in Tehran a few years back was an example of killing civilians with nothing to do with the conflict. But the civilians killed in Gaza have a lot to do with the Gaza conflict. Hamas specifically uses them as part of their defensive tactics, as human shields. As for [B]not wanting[/B] anything to do with it the vast majority of the civilian adults actively support Hamas in Gaza. With a few exceptions (you will always find war criminal activity in any war) all of Israeli targeting has been legal and within the rules of war (Yes there are rules), while virtually none of Hamas's activities would.

I highly doubt creating IDF safe zones and then killing people inside safe zones is legal in the rules of war. I doubt targeting aid workers bringing food that once again was approved by IDF is legal. Lets be honest the rules of war are really just guidelines and not actual rules a nation has to follow. The IDf is very guide at killing innocent people and then saying "my bad"

No actually they are rules that have to be followed. If you break them you can be prosecuted. (BTW in your example nothing I read would have violated those rules). Problem is most people don't understand those rules which leads to wild claims of war crimes being committed by those following the rules while ignoring the actual war criminals who are violating those rules.

Re: All things Middle East related
 

Good to know violating humans rights is allowed in war and you can be excused. Kind of like a doctors note. So American citizens visiting their family and delivering aid is okay and Israel shouldn't be held accountable in your book?
