so you dont see the difference between us killing one of our own and someone else doing it?
Both are dead.
We didn't kill anyone. We don't know the facts, that's why the US State Department is investigating.
It's almost been a year of Israel indiscriminately killing in the area and the state department still refuses to do an investigation. Still waiting for Israel to investigate themselves.
But yeah sure. We're totally gonna do something other than fund and supply weapons
This has nothing to do with the finding of fact as to how this woman died
In fact,it's not true. First, let's ignore the fact that this woman apparently from small arms fire which we don't supply to the Israelis. Congress wrote a bill to supply other weapons to Isreal. to Isreal. It was unable to put restrictions on sale. That left it in Biden's lap. Biden asked State to evaluate how the Israelis were using weapons as it pertains to standing US law. The result was that State could not find a legal reason not to supply.
You can have your own feelings on the matter, but not your own facts
Yeah, imagine that. Someone from the Biden administration pretending not to see the obvious.
We are a nation of laws. You may not like them. You may ridicule them. But you mind them anyway. It's no different for the President unless you're Trump
You celebrate bad faith in government when it's in favor of genocide.
You're no different than Trumpers who rejoiced that the system "works" when SCOTUS overturned Roe.
Minding laws has nothing to do with faith in anything.
Pretending to see no genocide when it's fucking obvious so you don't have to abide by the Leahy Law is absolutely bad faith, even though you clearly approve of the results.
You keep reading things into my remarks and I'll keep on correcting you.
Well, you'll pretend you weren't whatabouting.
You can pretend you're not confused
You can stop gaslighting.
Ah, it's the old I'm rubber, you're glue defense. Brilliant
Guess I was wrong. You can't stop gaslighting.
Just call them as I see them
Sure. Like state when they pretended that there's no genocide in Gaza.
They were actual lawyers. I am not. Are you?
So were the Supreme Court justices that overturned Roe. You're telling me that lawyers are trustworthy.
Is this the guy who cries whataboutism?
I was providing an example of lawyers being dishonest. To anyone else, it would be as obvious as saying the sky is blue, but since they looked the other way in order to enable genocide, you think they're incapable of lying.
Yeah yeah. It's fun to dislike lawyers. They even dislike themselves
But they're paragons of honesty and justice the instant they enable genocide.

Again it's easy to continue to not do anything if you ignore all of what's going on.
Every thread is you doing this
So, there's a report from state that says Isreal is using weapons in line with US law and someone at state doesn't agree? Call it the reason for resignation? Fact is it is still a report issued to the President
we're a nation of laws, except when we close our eyes and put heads on the sand
When a report is issued it becomes an item that can be subject to supena. Therefore, the House could get it and use it in investigation of Biden had he not followed it
