On Wednesday, US Ambassador to Israel Tom Nides said Washington supports Israel’s fight against “bad guys” in Gaza after a three-day Israeli bombing campaign on the besieged enclave killed 48 Palestinians, including 17 children.
Israel launched the first airstrike last Friday, which targeted a leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ). The strike killed the PIJ leader, a five-year-old girl, and several other Palestinians.
“These are bad guys,” Nides said, referring to PIJ and other groups in Gaza. “We’re aware of the situation going on in Gaza. We understood this was an important mission for the Israelis.”
Israel claimed that the bombing campaign was launched to prevent attacks from PIJ, but the group had not made any public threats prior to the initial airstrike. PIJ launched rockets into Israel in response to the airstrikes, but no Israelis were killed.
Israel claims misfired PIJ rockets were responsible for some of the deaths in Gaza, but the Palestinian Health Ministry denies this and says they were all killed by Israeli airstrikes. According to Middle East Eye, Israel hasn’t presented “independently-verified evidence” to back up its assertion.
Nides said that the US was “fully supportive” of Israel’s actions in Gaza. After a ceasefire was announced on Sunday, President Biden released a statement that said he was “proud” of US support for Israel and that Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system had “saved countless lives.”
On Thursday, a 10-year-old Palestinian girl succumbed to wounds she sustained during Israel’s bombardment, raising the death toll to 48.
Attacks on civilians are what the US does very well. Why would anyone be surprised a US official would see it this way?
We see this also in Ukraine where the US trained and commanded forces mostly attack civilians.
Terror against civilians seems to be the American way of war, going back to at least William Tecumseh Sherman.
Far previous to that, Ikester; terror against the indigenous population.
Much like IsraHell.
So the people murdering children are “the good guys”??
aren’t they always?
“Israel claims misfired PIJ rockets were responsible for some of the deaths in Gaza”
First you claim their own 5 o’clock Charlie missiles were responsible for some of the deaths and then you retaliate by firing state of the art weaponry into a sardine can full of people, killing at least 17 children. Once again, the retaliation is way over the fucking top to the point of being sick. But when you’re used to shooting fish (baby fish) in a barrel, it’s what you do.
If PIJ leader was killed, his substitute will take over and attacks Israel in the right time…! So this brainless operation achieves absolutely Nothing…!
Actually, it achieves exactly what they want. It continues the status quo.
Right Wars. The Zionazis need to continue their lawn-mowing operations at least once a year.
As sickening as the attacks themselves is ByeDone’s “praise” for it, presumably because no Zios were killed. Look at the faces of those beautiful children who perished, mush-brain Joe!
THIS MAN MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO REMAIN IN POWER!
Am I allowed to use the term “drawn and quartered” here? No threats, Thomas, just a passing reference.
The next man/woman in power will do the same. Obama passes as somebody that wasn’t “friendly” towards Israel and he was still an ass kisser. Maybe not to the degree of Trump but abstaining on a UN resolution holding Israel accountable for their human rights abuses is hardly something that qualifies as being willing to stand up to that apartheid practicing parasite. I’m afraid we are screwed. Or I should say the Palestinians are screwed.
Wars, I wonder if Amerikkkans realize that Bernie failed to secure the nomination—twice—-because he wishes to condition “aid” to IsraHell.
The US will support anyone who they can sell arms to , child murderers dosen`t come close ,Americans are EVIL PERSONIFIED
Bad guys used to be any native Americans who dared resist their own genocide.
Palestinians are now the bad “bad guys” along with Russians, Iranians, Chinese, etc.
Most educated people stopped saying “bad guys” in elementary school
simple terms for simple people I guess
Israel is getting on my last nerve and so is our Ambassador and our President.
“Bad guys is Gaza?!”
The level of ass kissing here by the US is unfathomable and frankly embarrassing. 17 Palestinian children murdered! We need to be ashamed, very, very ashamed…
They are truly a loathsome bunch. But were I an Israeli, I’d be moving my accounts back to Moscow, Minneapolis, Manchester, etc., and buying a one-way ticket home.
If there was an option between becoming a millionaire or watching each and every immoral politician in the US, UK an Israel face jungle Justice let’s just say get the popcorn ready.
The BAD GUYS in GAZA are actually the ISRAELI’S
Ah yes, the child murdering “good guys” You can’t make this stuff up. How do they even say this with a straight face?
