The White House on Tuesday provided the most complete definition yet of what it considers a “major ground operation” in Rafah that could trigger a change in United States policy toward Israel, and said Israel’s actions there have not yet reached that level.
“We have not seen them smash into Rafah - we have not seen them go in with large units, large numbers of troops in columns and formations in some sort of coordinated maneuver against multiple targets on the ground. That is a major ground operation. We have not seen that,” White House national security spokesperson John Kirby told reporters at a briefing.
The thing is, your constituents don’t care. We’ve seen enough war to last all of us ten thousand lifetimes or more. End it.
Why would Biden care what Dem voters think?
It’s him or trump, and apparently that means he can do whatever the fuck he wants with zero consequences.
He feels entitled to votes just because he’s not trump, so he’s not going to make any compromises with progressives
When I talk to people about the next election this is exactly what they say…
Genocide is bad sure, but trump would be worse.
That’s a hell of a campaign position… I’m not worse then the other guy might be, so eat it.
Also a huge indictment if the two party system and the total capture by the first past the post voting system.
The main difference between trump and every other president is that trump doesn’t know not to say the quiet part out loud. Most presidents are good at discretion, as most federal policies are monstrous.
Trump lead stadiums full of people in chants of, “build that wall,” in contrast to obama and biden who quietly maintained the barriers on the southern boarder. Same policy different messaging.
Gaza will be no different. Trump enthusiastically supports the genocide, whereas biden criticizes and puts on a show like he’s putting pressure on isreal, while still supporting them entirely. Same policy, different messaging.
I would love to be proven wrong, but expierence says otherwise.
I’m not aware of data showing trumps supports the genocide.
Trump supports Israel’s “war against terror.” He has said so. His supporters do too. Nikki Haley wrote “finish them” or something on a missile whilst in Israel. Trump is wholeheartedly in support of this genocide and will definitely never set any kind of red lines around it. Biden is shit but trump is a whole sewer worth.
I doubt trump is worst for palestine than the guy who said if israel didn’t exists we have to create it, it’s the greatest 3 billions investment we ever made.
Bibi taking notes to do exactly that next time and watch them do jack shit.
“We found they fired 9,999 rounds of ammunition into a crowd of women and children, which is less than the 10,000 round limit so we’re gonna let it ride.”
Fuck I hate my government.
Saving this until the IOF uses it as a checklist and nothing is done about it

Now define hiw big is a large unit and large number of troops
John Kirby then further elaborated, saying “We have not seen the Israelis employing dodecahedron formations consisting of smaller Koch snowflake arrangements - if we see this kind of serious business, we’ll need to assess our red line. We remain vigilant but have seen no evidence of them using this kind of major strategy.”
