President Joe Biden voiced his concern about the rising tension between Israel and Iran after Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed in Tehran.

US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby spoke to CNN’s Kate Bolduan about the administration considering deploying more US defenses to Israel amid faltering stability in the region.

    I guess you don’t remember, or are blocking out the fact that Trump said when elected, he’s going to help Israel finish the job.

    They’ll get carte Blanche.

    But you already know that, don’t you?

      What has the current administration done to hamper Israeli efforts? Literally nothing.

      Every “red line” gets crossed without consequence

        Okay… cool. So-

        I’m going to end this here. Until the instance you come from stops banning people for simply being a liberal- I refuse to take any of you seriously.

          Oh I’m not a Marxist leninist, I just signed up there when Lemmy was still small. China sucks, it’s just capitalism in another form,yada yada yada

          Anyway that’s not really a useful point. “your server doesn’t like my political position” isn’t really helping your case with that server!

          Again, what can Israel do under a Trump administration that they can’t already? They’re about to start WWIII and it seems like nobody is going to stop them despite a lot of leverage that the US could use. Killing children as they attempt to grab food packages sounds like the US already gave them carte blanche

            Yeah, you say that- after you said this dumb shit:

            I’m waiting for the day that a majority of the country doesn’t vote.

            Forgive me if I don’t believe you, and… your server censoring and silencing everyone that doesn’t fall in line with the hive isn’t helping themselves with anyone other than themselves.

              It’s true, I think the US electoral system is deeply broken and people refusing to vote would help lead to real reforms.

              Anyway, again, it’s beside the point. You have no response to my question:

              How is the current US position and activities with regard to Israel’s criminal invasion of Gaza different or better than the “carte Blanche” Trump would give them?
