What the FUCK is wrong with us? permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ira@lemmy.ml [S] 35 points 2 years ago* (1 child) The US didn't propose a ceasefire yet. In response to this ceasefire proposal they've said they're working on a draft for a proposal. With an indeterminate ceasefire of indeterminate length to start at an indeterminate date. But strangely, once actual dates and times get proposed, they bring out the veto. One could argue that it sure looks like they're trying to muddy the waters and give Israel cover. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] NoIWontPickaName@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago Hey it clearly says as soon as practicable, they just got tired and forgot to define it permalink fedilink source parent [–] Melkath@kbin.social 18 points 2 years ago As far as I know, Biden imposed sanctions on 4 INDIVIDUAL MEN and went "Fine, I sanctioned Israel, are you all happy yet?" permalink fedilink source parent [–] qwertyqwertyqwerty@lemmy.one 16 points 2 years ago US will always support Israel's actions, regardless of what it appears to say or do in public. permalink fedilink source parent
