    Seeing Biden give credence to bullshit propaganda about beheaded babies while committing without reservation to genocidal retaliation was nauseating. Without any acknowledgement of decades of proven Israeli crimes against humanity and the absolute immiseration of Palestinian people. Generations born and murdered inside a concentration camp. The colonial hegemony is so fucking desperate to defend the bloated corpse of the old empire. I’m so tired of hearing the pearl clutching criticism of Hamas or Palestinians tactics from the ‘left.’

    How many Palestinians must die before they are allowed to fight back? Should they schedule their attacks around music festivals held at the fucking walls of their prison at a military base? Should they consider how colonists might feel scared?

    Meanwhile, in reality:

    PALESTINIAN VICTIMS OF ISRAELI BOMBARDMENT IN GAZA

    Israeli occupation forces killed 900 Palestinians. 260 Children 230 Women 4500 Palestinians wounded 22 Families were entirely killed

    Israeli occupation forces killed 6 paramedics 15 paramedics injured

    Israeli occupation forces killed 8 Journalists 20 Journalists wounded

    But obviously, westerners don’t care about those 260 children. Never did.

    The White House clarifies that President Joe Biden and other US officials have not seen or independently confirmed that Hamas terrorists beheaded Israeli children.

    …

    A White House spokesperson says the president based his comments on claims from Netanyahu’s spokesman and media reports from Israel.

      Always great when the white house has to release a clarifying statement that basically amounts to “Actually the president just straight up lied”.

    The West continues to lie. I’m so disgusted by all this.

    From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. The West shall pay and it shall collapse.
