Another day, another liberal banger

lol holy shit "using smaller bombs" who would have thought of that??
'shoot them in the legs' of warcrimes
TheOnion and u.s. officials, as noted by the paper of record
simply shoot the children with smaller guns 
People who really want you to buy their new and improved cluster bombs, obviously.
What is a cluster bomb if not a very large collection of smaller bombs?
In this rules based order, the size of the bomb upon detonation is all that matters.
Silly tankie, you know nothing of civilized warfare.
Instead of killing 100 with 1 bomb, they'll kill 200 with 50 bombs.
Think of how this will benefit weapons manufacturers
we've done it. we finally pushed Biden to the left.
smaller but more bombs
clusters of them perhaps
"surely these guys aren't targeting children and families on purpose right?"
Stopping Genocide
Adjusting the Granularity of the Genocide
Ehhh I’m reducing harm jack
i'm REDOOOOOOOOOCING
the 80-year old REDOOOCER
The genocide reduction candidate 
Beyond parody
"We have outlined several steps to Israel to cause civilian casualties in-"
Aide handing me a note just saying "Reduce!"
"That is to say, we have oulined several steps to Israel to reduce the civilian population in-"
Aide frantically whispering "Less people dying!" in my ear
"The US wants lesser people to die."
They're actually doing the centrism meme where you have the right wing saying "I want to do genocide" and the left wing saying "I'm against doing genocide" and then the centrist liberal says "Let's compromise by only genociding half".

While the United States has increased the amount of intelligence that it is sharing with Israel, U.S. officials stressed they are not helping Israel pick targets for strikes.
absolute lies, contradicted by the NYT's own story 2 days ago about how the US is flying reaper drones over gaza to 'look for hostages' and are giving israel leads
And anyway even if it were true - "Yes we know you've shown zero propensity to give any fucks about civilian lives, and sometimes it seems that's actually your aim, but here we'll help you anyway. The civilian casualties are totally on you bro."
It's the moral equivalent of setting up an open bar directly outside of an AA meeting.
This is the harm reduction I voted for 😁
Kinder, gentler ~~machine gun~~ bombing hand
Does this mean the US will send them non-lethal lethal aid in addition to the lethal aid?
Harm Reduction ✅
Thats a protest chant right there. What do we want. Smaller bombs
This is the moderate politics we need
INCREMENTAL PROGRESS! YEAH! I'M SWIFTLY MOVING TOWARDS A SOLUTION THAT PLEASES NOBODY!
This is their attempt at quelling the growing sympathy towards Palestine.
Even this lame-ass shit is probably too much for Israel.
Damn, thought that was an onion article for a second.
just a little one, as a treat

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
-
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
-
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
