Stimulus Posted May 28 Posted May 28 (edited) White House says attack at Rafah camp did not cross Biden's red line over supporting Israel CNN / Kevin Liptak and Samantha Waldenberg / May 28, 2024 Quote President Joe Biden is not altering his policy toward Israel following a deadly strike that resulted in the death of more than 45 people, the White House said Tuesday, suggesting the incident had not yet crossed a red line that would force changes in American support. Instead, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said the US would look for answers from Israel following the country's investigation of the incident, which he described as "heartbreaking." "As a result of this strike on Sunday, I have no policy changes to speak to. It just happened," Kirby told reporters at the White House. "The Israelis are going to investigate it. We're going to be taking great interest in what they find in that investigation. And we'll see where it goes from there." It was the clearest indication yet that Biden has not yet reached the point where he would consider suspending arms shipments or other aid to Israel, despite saying in a CNN interview earlier this month he wouldn't allow certain US weapons to be used in a major offensive in Rafah. While Kirby called on Israel to take precautions to protect civilian lives and warned there was a danger in Israel becoming more isolated from its traditional allies, he asserted there were no indications yet that it had waged a military campaign that would prompt Biden to withhold aid or weapons. Israeli tanks were seen in central Rafah on Tuesday for the first time in Israel's seven-month war against Hamas, signaling a new phase of its offensive as Israel presses on despite mounting international pressure. Over the weekend, Israel launched an airstrike on a displacement camp in the southern Gaza city, killing dozens and sparking global outrage. The strike also took out two Hamas leaders, Israel said. Footage obtained by CNN showed the camp in flames, with scores of men, women and children frantically trying to find cover from the nighttime assault. Burned bodies, including those of children, could be seen being pulled by rescuers from the wreckage. "The word tragic doesn't even begin to describe it," Vice President Kamala Harris said of the incident on Tuesday, declining to answer when questioned about whether it crossed a red line. Still, Kirby said Israel's actions in the southern Gaza city have thus far not amounted to such a major ground operation, defining such a scenario as thousands of troops entering the locale.

Uncatena Posted May 28 Posted May 28 (edited) This genocidal monster doesn't have a red line. Every single Palestinian could be dead and he would support Israel anyway. Edited May 28 by ChapelHooker 6 4
Aston Martin Posted May 28 Posted May 28 This administration is willing to set the ******* world on fire to continue to support Israel's war crimes. Despicable 7
Bonicap Posted May 28 Posted May 28 (edited) Trump's victory is a matter of time. Ironically, the lack of authority and principles this administration has will lead to an administration that will let Israel do whatever they want without any consequences. Edited May 28 by Bonicap 3
LIT Posted May 28 Posted May 28 If this isn't a red line, nothing will ever be a red line. Unconditional support for genocide. Horrific. 11
Velvet Night Posted May 28 Posted May 28 Israel could nuke Gaza tomorrow and Biden wouldn't do ****. Biden is so committed to being Netanyahu's chief enabler and apologist that he is going to hand the White House to Trump. 9

I hope he lives long enough after his Presidency is over to realize what his place in history will look like. 11
Virgos Groove Posted May 28 Posted May 28 If the Israeli regime is ever put on trial, Biden needs to be sat right next to them. A monster. 6
ClashAndBurn Posted May 28 Posted May 28 (edited) Profoundly despicable. At this point, Joe Biden is hardly a "lesser evil" compared to Donald Trump. If he can look at the indescriminate firebombing of Rafah and an actual beheaded baby (rather than the fake Israeli ones he keeps saying he's seen pictures of) and insist this is perfectly fine and acceptable, then he is truly beyond the pale and an utter disgrace to the office. This disgusting, evil man should resign and forfeit his candidacy. But because he has liberals cheerleading him and looking the other way, he will not. And, Inshallah, he will lose, as he deserves to. Edited May 28 by ClashAndBurn 1 3
nadiamendell Posted May 28 Posted May 28 Besides the fact that he's a MANIAC, endorsing genocide, Biden is such a PATHETIC, weak president. He deserves everything that's coming his way in November. I am LIVID. 1

"Red line" is just a performative phrase so that his base can kick the can down the road and continue to call him a "good man with a kind soul" John Kirby said today to the WH Press Corps that they haven't seen anything bad enough to warrant even DISCUSSING withholding aid to Israel, despite the fact that they very openly defied his previous "red line" and scorched dozens of civilians alive with their firebombing of an area the Israelis had declared to be a safe zone. 1

I hope he lives long enough after his Presidency is over to realize what his place in history will look like. No Biden is probably jacking off to it. He loves it. It turns him on and excites him. He probably watches the videos and shivers with excitement. He's a disgusting, racist sociopath. Biden wants to kill brown people as much as Israel does. Biden will just hide it better. His actions speak volumes and he's so senile he probably thinks he's being sneaky about it and getting away with it. He's in for an embarrassing loss in November. At least America will go down in flames with Palestine after November
