Netanyahu Cancels Washington Delegation Visit After U.S. Abstains From U.N. Cease-Fire Vote
Netanyahu Cancels Washington Delegation Visit After U.S. Abstains From U.N. Cease-Fire Vote
The Israeli delegation was scheduled to meet with members of the Biden Administration Monday.
Netanyahu picked a bad time to provoke Biden while the pro-Israel republicans have neutered by the antisemitic hard right.
Biden has pressure from his left to call for a ceasefire and little political upside to supporting Israel. Any other year, the Republicans would be howling about how Biden is soft on Terrorism, or weak on Israel, but the Krazy KauKus is standing on the throats of that kind of conservative.
Netanyahu's strategy of relying on support from Christian Nationalists while ignoring Jewish Americans may not have been wise.
what I don't understand is, while yes the far right is anti-semitic, are they not even more anti-islamic?
though tensions between the two allies have grown sour amid mounting U.S. concerns
Should be ...relations between the two allies have grown sour amid..., or ...tensions between the two allies have grown amid....
"tensions" growing sour makes no sense though. Are there sweet international tensions?
Can really see the deteriorating quality of journalism in the writing used. They're being paid for this. Supposedly anyway.
This happens sometimes in my own writing when I'm revising quickly. Of course I don't have an editor and I'm just commenting on Lemmy and Reddit, but same idea. First I write it using one phrase, then I revise it to another phrase while leaving behind a trace of the removed phrase. The final sentence might check out grammatically but not logically, so a simple grammar checker could miss it.
Makes you wonder how fast they're trying to go. I do it too, and I'm not on a deadline. I'm also not a professional, working within my field though.
Could just be a way of saying, like, tensions have grown worse. When things sour, they get worse. Unless it's sour cream. Or citrus. Or pickles.
I dunno I'm not a linguist.
Oh no! Anyway...
Good, I don't want us pandering to a fascist anyway.
Nobody wants that fucking trash bag in this country anyway.
That he was even welcome in the first place after all he's said and done is in itself absolutely unacceptable.
Is Israel going to defy the Security Council to invade Rafah?
Depends. Is the security council going to do anything about it if they do?
Of course they will. This little spat with America over how difficult the genocide is for Biden's campaign hasn't slowed down the flow of material aid. They know they can do whatever they want, they've pushed as far as broadly declared and publicised genocide without significant consequences, really the only boundary they have left to test is nuking Tehran or something.
They've already invaded Rafah. They did it without any press releases because they knew it would create even more international pressure.
Does the pope shit in the woods?
Does the tin man have a sheet metal cock?
What a pathetic little bitch
I feel like the US Abstaining instead of vetoing is bigger news than this doofus throwing a hissy fit about it
Genocide Bibi.
Bloodbath Bibi? Get some alliteration?
Nazi Netanyahu
The only place he should be welcomed to is the Hague.
Or hell.
Good. Actions not words.
Israel announced the biggest annexation of the west bank since 1990s when Blinken was in Israel a few days ago.
Any time Israel comes to visit they just openly embarrass Biden.
Awks.
After 911 , The US obliterated Iraq leaving 1 million dead and they didn’t even do it .
