Oh fuck off on this one, Joe.

What exactly did you think would happen when you went on tv and announced that we would completely back Israel no matter what they did?

You expected restraint from an apartheid government in a blood rage?

Don't play dumb.

That never happened. In fact, a few days after the attack by Hamas, Biden warned Israel to follow the rules of war.

What are the rules of war against a prison camp? We could perhaps consult the Federal Bureau of Prisons manual, but I did not find the word "war" in it. Unfortunately, I don't read Hebrew, so I came up blank there too.

Not sure what you're referring to, but rules of war do not prohibit prison camps.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, they're (correctly) saying that Gaza itself is a prison camp.

[–] FlowVoid@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Maybe it is, but that's that doesn't violate rules of war.

The sad fact is that the rules of war permit a lot of awful things, because war is intrinsically awful.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No no they're being sarcastic. They're asking what the rules of war say about going to war with a prison camp.

Fair enough! Thanks for explaining!
