“Laws Of War” Biden-Blinken Style
When Biden talks about a “rules-based order”, whose rules is he talking about? What “Laws of War”? See this video to find out…
Ceasefire deal on the table, as Gazans survey the wreckage – Day 238
Biden presents ceasefire deal, Netanyahu says “non-starter”; Israel withdraws from Jabalia, leaving corpses, destruction, signs of ethnic cleansing in its wake; conditions in Rafah are “horrific and apocalyptic”; more mass graves discovered; Israel has made one third of Gaza “uninhabitable”; Blinken’s feeble commentary on Gaza’s famine; experts say Israel could have used smaller weapons, avoided mass casualties in Rafah last week; AND YET Congress invites Netanyahu to speak.
Not even the US government knows the US government line on Rafah
Red line? What red line? As Washington indulges in conflicting chatter and denial of the facts, Israel just keeps on killing in Gaza.
