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.

    It makes almost zero sense to call him genocide joe on its own, but in this case it’s obvious there is no thought behind it at all and this has just become the knee jerk response any time Israelis do anything.

      He’s the president and has been an avid zionist his entire career. He refuses to stop giving israel weapons and money, so he is Genocide Joe

        You’re avoiding the actual point to parrot your same talking point. It makes you look like a bad faith actor.

          You’re avoiding the actual point

          That the man with the power to stop a genocide chooses not to? You’re avoiding that point. Genocide Joe is not a knee jerk response, it’s the only reasonable response, and will be his legacy whether you like the name or not.

            Genocide Joe is not a knee jerk response,

            By no stretch of the imagination can Biden be held responsible for perpetuating these attacks, or that these attacks even be a part of youre genocide, yet you still parroted it. Im not sure I could come up with a better example of a knee-jerk response.

            How I feel about his legacy has absolutely zero bearing on how no thought went into you parroting your taking points.

              He is directly responsible because he approves funding and weapons that enable the genocide.

              Where did I parrot it from? I literally made it up.
