It's estimated that between 1,000 and 1,200 settlers surrounded the village, and around 500 stormed it just after midday local time on Friday, blocking all the roads in the area.

According to Abu-Alia [head of the village council], the Israeli military arrived at the scene at around 3 p.m. local time, but did not stop the settlers from attacking the village. Instead, Israeli soldiers allowed them to raid homes, prevented Palestinian residents from moving around and blocked ambulances from reaching the injured, he alleged.

Israeli security forces had informed Palestinian officials that the settlers were looking for an Israeli teenager who had gone missing earlier in the day.

Agreed. But some damage to Joe's reputation is already done in my opinion. While I must hold my nose and vote for him, I will always know him as Genocide Joe. This genocide is now his legacy in my eyes.

Honestly, this whole situation in Israel is fucked. But it's a track that's been laid down by decades of US policy and the influence of money in politics. Biden is the unlucky president who inherited a millennium of hate that has come to a head. If he tried to stop it, the Israel lobbies and Zionists would destroy him and ensure a Trump victory. This country is so strongly intertwined to Israel and its interests that we cannot separate from them. Notice how Congress is doing fuckall to stop us arming the side committing genocide while also perfectly happy to deny arms to a friendly nation that was invaded and is being destroyed.

US policy is fucked by the greedy bastards at the top who pull the strings.

Damn your reasonable assessment.

Agreed.

You do not need to vote for Genocide Joe. There are several candidates who have condemned the genocide from the beginning. No issue is more important than genocide.
