When asked about Hind’s killing, the U.S. said that, according to Israel, the Palestine Red Crescent Society and U.N. have not helped investigate.

The Israeli military never contacted the Palestine Red Crescent Society about Israel’s killing of a 6-year-old Palestinian girl, her family members, and the paramedics sent to save her, a Red Crescent spokesperson told The Intercept, refuting the State Department’s first substantive remarks about the killing that took place 148 days ago.

“Since the attack at our ambulances that was dispatched to save Hind Rajab, there has been no investigations made by the Israelis or any contact from the Israelis to the Red Crescent,” said spokesperson Nebal Farsakh. “We as the Palestinian Red Crescent have not received any kind of communication from the Israeli military.”

“All I can tell you is what they’ve told us. And what they have said is, they went to the U.N. and the Palestinian Red Crescent and asked them to supply information that would help them, and what they claim is that they were given none,” Miller said.

His comments came on the heels of an independent investigation by the U.K.-based firm Forensic Architecture, which concluded that Israeli fire was most likely responsible for the attack, and that it was “not plausible” that Israeli forces would not have seen who they shot 335 bullets at.

    Because he put his friend of decades, Blinken, as secretary of state for his presidency. The same state department who is blindly repeating Israeli lies and refusing to do any investigation into these war crimes thus further protecting and enabling Israel and it’s genocide.

    Why aren’t you?

      Biden’s been trying to get both sides to agree to a ceasefire.

      You talk as though Biden himself directs Israeli soldiers where and what to fire at.

        No, I talk as if Biden has time and time again defended and supplied Israel.

        Biden is the biggest enabler in the world of what Israel is doing.

            Yes, both Carter and Reagan picked up the phone, told Israel they wouldn’t get any weapons and they immediately backed down. That’s the leverage the US has over them, and it can be used any time.

              Biden also fucked over Obama and Hillary when trying to put pressure on Israel, so it’s not even a recent thing for biden to be just ensuring they get weapons

                Maybe we can use some of the naivité both those Presidents had.

                Enlighten me, why is it harder to do the same this time? Is Netanyahu going to get weapons from the Russians?

                  He’d definitely try. Although it’s not necessarily our weapons that are the import part. Mostly how we (USA) does cover and is the silent protection against any western powers doing anything

                    And Russia has tons to spare, obviously, Iran is going to continue supplying drones to help them in Ukraine as well. /s

                    And as for the western countries, the only thing that is keeping those weapons flowing is US pressure. If the US stops, they’ll stop.

        Biden has pushed funding and weapons to the Israeli military despite clear evidence they will be used for the genocide of Palestinians. So yes he is responsible.

            Not really. The Great Famine that the British forced on Ireland took 7 years. The Holodomor took multiple years. Even The Holocaust went on for years and that was industrialized genocide and not a deliberate famine. Not all genocides are quick.

              Oh ok, so when third parties were trying to negotiate the ends to the Holodomor, Holocaust, and potato famine were those people trying to end those guilty of genocide?

                We’re probably never going to be able to see eye-to-eye on this since you clearly see the war as the Jewish people vs. the Palestinian people. Meanwhile, I see it is as two groups of right wing fanatics fighting each other while civilians are caught in the crossfire, at best. But to me, it looks a lot more like they’re deliberately being starved, slaughtered, and/or held hostage.

                Maybe someone else on here has the time to debate a sea lion if you want to post more but it’s Taco Tuesday and I have important taco-related business to attend to.

                  I see the conflict as Hamas wanting to kill as many Jewish people as possible, since Hamas has said so, multiple times.

                  Hamas should surrender.

                    **16. **Hamas affirms that its conflict is with the Zionist project not with the Jews because of their religion. Hamas does not wage a struggle against the Jews because they are Jewish but wages a struggle against the Zionists who occupy Palestine. Yet, it is the Zionists who constantly identify Judaism and the Jews with their own colonial project and illegal entity.

                    “Hamas should surrender”
                    And I guess until they do, Israel will continue to kill children? I mean, if the baddies are hiding behind children you are fully allowed to bomb them into a red mist. Just say they were hamas and you are good to shoot and bomb them. It’s only just because, you know, hamas!

                    Israel has lost all morality and has become which they suffered so much under.
