WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Wednesday condemned the weekend attack by Hamas militants on Israel as the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust as the number of U.S. citizens killed in the fighting ticked up to at least 22.
“This attack was a campaign of pure cruelty — not just hate, but pure cruelty — against the Jewish people,” Biden told Jewish leaders gathered at the White House.
Beyond the 22 known to have been killed, the State Department said at least 17 more Americans remain unaccounted for in a war that has already claimed more than 2,200 lives on both sides. A “handful” of U.S. citizens are among the estimated 150 hostages captured by Hamas militants during their shocking weekend assault on Israel, White House national security spokesman John Kirby said Wednesday.
Between this and the "40 beheaded babies" lie, President harm reduction is clearly prepping us to accept Palestinian genocide.
I'm seeing "progressives" demanding that hamas must be eradicated, but since they can't seperate themselves from the civilian population "there's nothing else we can do" but turn Gaza completely to rubble.
This is all so vile.
Can we talk about how fucking antisemitic it is to compare a far-right ethnostate like Israel to Jews during the holocaust?
Yes we can and it's extremely antisemitic
Especially after all the open hero worship of literal nazis for over a year including the SS officer just last week already proved just how hollow their words are
I am once again tapping the sign:
"Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."
weeks where decades happen etc and so forth
