    This war we started replacing missles, attacks, with “blasts”. Like the hospital attack was a “blast”. Like a gas line blew or an oopsie. Anytime they want to water down what happened it’s just a enigmatic “blast”.

    Israeli line for civillian deaths “well that’s war”. The world will remember how casual Israel is about it’s genocide. It rolls off them like water.

    Regarding the final piece, the global south already knows US integrity is a joke. At least the leadership is giving younger citizens a more accurate view of what US foreign policy actually looks like, conveniently under a “liberal” president.

      Pretty sure more liberals know Biden is far from liberal. He’s center at best but even he probably leans right on a global scale.

        He is what passes for a liberal in the US. Obama, either Clinton, nearly any other democrat would do exactly the same thing he is doing (which is unfortunately the same thing Trump would be doing). Strong echoes of the Iraq war.

        Obama said he thinks his own policies are in line with Reagan. Biden falls to the right of that on some issues, including to the right of Reagan on Israel.

    Comparing 400 to ~110,000 is certainly one of the choices of all time. Pretty much all killing is heinous imo, especially in this instance, but could we leave the atomic bomb comparisons for elsewhere?

      Yeah, if we use that comparison now, what are we going to do when they actually use an atomic bomb?

        It’ll sound something like “Blast rocks Gaza scattering radioactive debris for miles. Biden says ‘That wasn’t good, guys’ as US deploys an additional carrier to the region. And now, sports.”
