National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said Sunday that Israel should follow the “rules of war” in Gaza but would not say if he believed the Israeli military is doing so.
Sullivan made the comments on CNN’s “State of the Union” when he was asked if Israel needed to do more to limit civilian casualties.
He said Israel has a responsibility to “operate according to the rules of war, and we have continued to make that point both publicly and privately, and we will continue to do so as we go forward.”
But when asked if Israel is following the rules of war, Sullivan replied, “I’m not going to sit here and play judge or jury on that question.”
Sullivan and other Biden administration officials have paid lip service to the idea of pressuring Israel to limit civilian casualties, but the US is still providing unconditional military aid and other types of support for Israel’s brutal assault on Gaza, which has killed at least over 11,000 Palestinians, including over 4,500 children.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Friday that “far too many” Palestinians have been killed in the war but did not signal any changes to the US policy of full-throated support for the Israeli operation.
According to a recent report from The Washington Post, the US is not conditioning military aid or using other leverage it has over Israel because it “would be so politically unpopular in any administration and partly because, aides say, Biden himself has a personal attachment to Israel.”
As long as Biden has a personal attachment, that makes it okay. /s
What garbage hypocrites.
Give him a break. His broken brain “can’t handle the truth.” When Assange leaked his email to Hillary about “AQ is on our side in Syria.” He learned then to never again handle the truth!
As long as he sticks with Ziospeak, that shouldn’t be a problem.
Lies are Truth
Innocents are Guilty
War Criminals are heroes
Amen!!! “If you’re not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”
― Malcolm X
Him and about 90% of congress who have turned traitor, placing a foreign state’s interests above that of the people who elected them. But I guess AIPAC bribes will do that
It’s all a lie anyway. It’s about keeping empire hegemony, no matter the cost in lives or money.
Asking Israel to avoid civilian casualties in Gaza is about as productive as asking the Waffen SS to avoid civilian casualties on the Eastern Front
He’s not, this is just the usual pablum for the masses.
BINGO!
Moral impotence hardly plays well when you hold the purse strings and veto resolutions for a ceasefire at the UNSC.
Annoying goof, he is not a very convincing liar. No wonder MBS yelled at him when he came to visit Riyadh last year, his drivel gets old after about five minutes.
Being yelled at bu the lying brutal theocratic dictator Mohammed Bonesaw Salman is a badge of honor.
Your drivel gets old after about 5 seconds.
Go **** for Israel somewhere else. . .
Orwell wrote of newspeak.
Ziospeak is its kissing cousin.
It’s even worse than the dreaded woke brain virus.
Sullivan Says Israel Should Follow ‘Rules of War’
oh too late!

google = The usage of white phosphorus is restricted under international humanitarian law. Although there can be lawful uses, it must never be fired at, or in close proximity to, a populated civilian area or civilian infrastructure, due to the high likelihood that the fires and smoke it causes spread.
Way past too far…
Biden’s ‘personal connection to Israel’ more than likely amounts to having transferred the remainder of the Ukrainian money-laundering apparatus to Tel Aviv. But then, Joe has been a shill for the Zionists for a long time, so there’s no telling how deep the infection goes.
Israelis run over Palestinian with bulldozer.
Israelis laugh about it on social-media.
https://www.informationliberation.com/?id=64118
once upon a time they ran over an American girl named Rachel Corrie.
they laughed about that as well, throwing “pancake parties” in celebration.
Imagine if the question was, Is Russia abiding by the rules of war in Ukraine? I bet Jake would “sit there” and come up with a judgement. Of course, that’s just a guess on my part.
Rules of War only apply for people the Regime hates, not for those who bribe them
His imagination would be in high gear to making up bizarre stories.
They threw babies into bassinets tha were really Iron Maidens!
That’s called a Fart Speech…!
Not enough for the CYA routine either.
Rules of War? Our Rules-Based Order has supplanted those old humanitarian rules.
You’re not going to judge? Although you are in a prominent position – because you are expected to do so? Just like, we won’t comment on whether or not Israel has a nuclear bomb… everybody know and nobody tell, little wheel spin and spin…
Jake Sullivan is a horse’s behind with pimples.
Biden, Blinken & Sullivan
The Three Zionist Stooges.
Just to say they told the Israelis they should abide by the rules of law and then proceed to finance Israeli war crimes is no excuse for Americans, they are supporting war crimes, and make it possible. They are complicit in the act of war-crimes.
To say we told them is not enough to CYA.
