Australia, USA, Canada, and UK whose people were killed directly sells arms to Israel. The chances that the same weapons they supplied were used to kill them are high. So the fake outrage is pure theater.

33000 Palestinians are dead, 13000 fucking children are dead, and that's fine. Nothing to see, nothing to investigate, keep sending weapons.

Correction: 33000 Palestinians are confirmed dead. Israel has systematically destroyed the Gazan healthcare system so the Gazan Health Ministry can't count dead people (the GHM only reports people its doctors officially confirmed dead). I wouldn't be surprised if the real number of dead was double the official number.

So outraged he bypassed Congress to sell Israel MORE bombs! SO OUTRAGED!

[–] livus@kbin.social 14 points 7 months ago

His "outrage" is meaningless. He's actively aiding and abetting.

US credibility is taking a hit on the global stage.

As for Biden, I can really see why this issue is hurting his campaign in the US. As well as supporting genocide it just makes him sound super insincere and duplicitous.

Then he signed a purchase order for ten thousand more orphan seeker clusterbombs.

Biden outraged at deaths he helped facilitate.

Who could have predicted this! Certainly not those troublesome leftists

[–] JeSuisUnHombre@lemm.ee 7 points 7 months ago

Outraged enough to do something against it? Or at least enough to stop supporting it?

[–] EchoCT@lemmy.ml 5 points 7 months ago

So outraged that he's sending more bombers and munitions! Seriously, fuck this country.

How can I help our comrades in Gaza fight this?

"For fucks sake, I told you not to kill any civilians with those bombs!

...

Want some more bombs?"

[–] FfaerieOxide@kbin.social 4 points 7 months ago

I'm glad he's outraged.

Hopefully he's out of weapons to send them, too.
