The U.S. ambassador to Israel has condemned a siege by Israeli settlers of a Palestinian American family’s home in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

    So, he says something when they’re Palestinian-'Murican homes, but is fine with it the rest of the time?

    Token theatre

    'Murica is fine with Zionism the same way Henry Ford really liked Hitler

      Because there was a campaign to remove him for not protecting the many Americans that were already killed in Palestine. So now he has to care

    The Palestinians seek the West Bank, captured by Israel in the 1967 war, as part of a future state. Many settlers and their supporters say the entire area should belong to Israel for historical, religious and security reasons

    Kinda fucked up that this “news” source makes this statement without putting it in context: moving civilians into a military occupied area is a war crime.

      Well, first off, it’s Schrodinger’s war, in that it’s only a war when Palestinians do something bad (war crime) but it’s simply a security mission when IOF does a mass murder (no war crime).

      Second, Israel has what’s called a Schrodinger’s civilian, in that every citizen has undergone military training, so in this case I think the settlers count as military. Of course, if Palestinians were to fight back, they’d be doing terrorism to poor civilian settlers.

        That’s misinformation.

        Children don’t get military training, not until they’re drafted. People who refused to serve in the military (and get imprisoned) do not receive military training. If someone makes aliah in advanced age, they don’t get military training.

        It is absolutely a war crime to move any of there people (as well ask civilians who are not currently in the military) into a military occupied area

        Also what’s happened km Gaza isn’t a war. It’s a genocide.
