This isn't the time for a bluff. If Biden wants to stop this genocide before it moves into its final, most bloody phase, he needs to cut Israel off. No more money. No more weapons.
The people who control our government would never allow that.
"Asked whether an Israeli invasion of Rafah would be a red line for him with Netanyahu, Biden said: "It is a red line but I'm never going to leave Israel. The defense of Israel is still critical. So there's no red line (in which) I'm going to cut off all weapons so they don't have the Iron Dome to protect them.""
:/
Fucking loser.
I am pretty sure that Netanyahu would be using tactical nukes if they weren't worried about settling that land themselves. Not shocking he wants to keep genociding.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
TEL AVIV — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he intends to press ahead with an invasion of the city of Rafah on the southern border of the Gaza Strip in defiance of United States President Joe Biden, who has warned such an offensive would be a "red line."
Amid signs of increasing frustration with Netanyahu, the U.S. president told MSNBC on Saturday that he opposed an escalation of the conflict into Rafah, and that he could not accept "30,000 more Palestinians dead."
Relief organizations have warned that an attack on Rafah on the border with Egypt — now a refuge for about half of Gaza's 2.3 million population — would result in widespread civilian casualties.
United Nations organizations have also warned of an imminent famine, with the first deaths from starvation already recorded, prompting the European Union to open a sea corridor to deliver aid from Cyprus.
Israeli authorities have been criticized for blocking the delivery of humanitarian assistance by land, but Netanyahu claimed the sea convoy as his idea in the interview, and denied people were starving.
Even in the case of what he described as a change of Palestinian "leadership" and "culture," Netanyahu still insisted Israel should have full security control of all Arab territory west of the River Jordan.
The original article contains 984 words, the summary contains 213 words. Saved 78%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
