Vedant Patel: “Right now, Said, we are asking for more information".
Then you're in luck! Investigations are designed to provide more information!
Yeah, this is stupid. "We won't agree to an investigation until you give us the result of the investigation".
Baffles me how so many liberal defenders of Biden say that his administration can't do anything to stop another country from committing genocide. Except at every turn, his administration aids in or is complicit with the genocide.
Yet if you have doubts about Biden then accused of enabling an agent orange win in the election. I'm so fucking glad that I don't live in the US so I can criticize Biden without the "YoUr'E SuPpoRting TrUMp" Also I distinctly remember reading that the Biden administration was concerned about the mass graves discovered. So they're concerned but not concerned enough to pull support or call for an investigation or apply pressure on Bibi or impose sanctions or literally do fucking anything. The administration is all fucking lip service to the deaths of Gazans.

It's a game of outrage whack-a-mole for these people. It's pure unadulterated concern trolling. They're concerned about hypotheticals which make them look good, until they become a reality and then they move on to the next thing.
Disturbing and inexcusable. But I suppose this is expected from the side enabling genocide.
That's their SOP. This isn't the first time.
Fucking genocide Joe.
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Disgusting and indefensible
I hate that my only realistic options for presidential candidates are
A) a geriatric wannabe-dictator who wants to dismantle my country and it's laws for selfish gains
B) a geriatric president not only ignoring calls for an investigation into Israel conducting genocide, bit actively providing the country with the weapons to do so
This timeline is fucked.
These two options are only symptoms. The actual problem is systematic, a result of a FPTP electoral college, capitalism, basically non existent anti-corruption mechanisms, etc.
Even if we scrape by and avoid the wannabe dictator this time, we're just going to be in the same situation next time unless we fix these inherent problems.
You forgot that A will do everything you accused B of, and more.
If i wanted to list everything wrong with A, it would be a novel
And B justifies doing almost everything A is doing too, by saying "well we are not doing all of what A is doing".
You have two pro-genocide, pro-fascism, pro-racism, pro-authoritarianism, anti-democracy, anti-education, anti-human-rights candidates. When Biden wins again, it will just be the end to democracy in a different way than with Trump. The US democrats are not a party of democracy, human rights or even basic long term governmental planning. Everything just for profit now and fuck the poor, fuck the young, and murder the brown.
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
