The White House has condemned an attack on an aid convoy heading to Gaza by Israeli settlers who threw packages of food into the road and set fire to the vehicles.
Video of the incident on Monday at Tarqumiya checkpoint, west of Hebron in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, showed settlers blocking the trucks and throwing boxes of much-needed supplies on the ground. Photographs from the scene showed piles of damaged aid packages and drifts of rice and flour across the road.
Late on Monday, photos began circulating on social media showing the trucks on fire.
You are literally helping them bomb the intended recipients of that aid, you smug hypocritical bastards.
We’re outraged!
throws receipts for the bombs in the garbage
changes name to defensive bombs
It’s taken them over half a year, but Biden has finally discovered that Israel is committing crimes against humanity. Let’s hope they don’t forget about it the second Netanyahu pretends to be a little bit obedient.
They are already doing that. half a million people had to flee from Rafah and the US and its allies are arguing “well it is not a large scale offensive” What would you call it, if Canada invaded Maine and half a million people had to flee? That is the proportions of what they deny to call “large scale” to justify toeing around it.
He probably has dementia so…
He has dementia so…
Hypothetically, if you were to search for evidence to back up your claim and couldn’t find any, you’d edit your comment accordingly, wouldn’t you?
Biden White House the thousandth time they’ve learned about the Israeli government doing something unconscionable:
The White House also sent another billion worth of weapons to Israel.
Yeah, this appears to be true. Jesus Christ, what the fuck is wrong with this country? Everyone who voted for Biden in the PRIMARY (when he ran against Bernie) should be fucking ashamed of themselves.
We have two presidents running for office right now that openly support directly aiding a mass genocide. Trump will be far worse, too… Worse for Palestine, worse for the US, and worse for the world.
For this reason, we can’t do anything about any of this in the polling booth in November. Protesting and publicly dissenting is the only path forward, so far as I can tell… I’m open to new ideas, though.
BDS is the only way
It’s gonna take US military to protect any aid to Palestineans. The bloodlust by Zionist settlers will be unquenchable until they’re made to drink their own.
Well I don’t know what to say anymore. We now have a major newspaper reporting that we cannot stop illegal weapons shipments that are not supported by the majority of country because… Democratic donors are unhappy he’s even holding the 2,000 pound bombs back.
There is one thing, but you guys won’t like it. You never do. We already live in an Oligarchy, not a Democracy. Your vote is an illusion. The parties aren’t the same but they are united in backing the Oligarchy over you.
Also Israel knew this would happen once the only routes for aid required driving from the Egyptian border to the north tip of Gaza. To a border crossing that’s fucking tiny and across the entire combat zone from all the previous aid infrastructure. This is both the intended result and them laughing at the world while they claim they tried to let aid in.
Two countries at war, both of which commit war crimes against humanity. This can only be stopped diplomatically or when one side stops existing. Just another waste of human lives and resources. People are stupid.
They ain’t a war. A war implies that it’s somewhat balanced. Israel don’t want a diplomatic solution.
Hamas offered a deal to return all hostages but Israel said no as they would still be in power. So they just want to keep murdering people to make sure Hamas has recruits for decades to come.
Fuck this world man.

What’s the credibility of mediabiasfactcheck.com?
Very low. It’s basically the hobby of a single conservative Zionist (assisted by some volunteer and paid freelancers, though there’s no public transparency about who does what and when) pretending to be a reputable arbiter of truth and bias.
Coincidentally, the first article that came out of that thing from a poster was Israel lobby propaganda that said that Russian propaganda on social media is the source of worldwide antisemitism. It has no credibility. It disseminates state run propaganda because “if it comes from the government, or a politician, it must be true” and the think tanks that work for them.
Lol yea, but is Dave M. Van Zandt really a Zionist? I hadn’t heard that.
My favorite part of their Wikipedia page is
Fact checks are carried out by independent reviewers who are associated with the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) and follow the International Fact-Checking Network Fact-checkers’ Code of Principles, which was developed by the Poynter Institute.
…
Writers at the Poynter Institute, which develops PolitiFact,[24] have stated that “Media Bias/Fact Check is a widely cited source for news stories and even studies about misinformation, despite the fact that its method is in no way scientific.”
Seriously, any of these company run “bias” checkers are completely pointless and at best are directly useful for pushing specific propaganda under the guide of they have been neutral up until then.
Thinking you know better because you know what someone else tells you the bias is of the statement doesn’t actually make people more informed it just makes them insufferable liberals.
Picked by mods…
It saddens me that you have to provide source credibility. Media Literacy is important.
Source credibility systems are just outsourcing trust to a third party. Its a ministry of truth on top of an already fucked media landscape, i dont get why people even recognize this as a real valid concept at all.
The problem is that there is not much choice, how many news outlets are there? I can’t keep tabs on just the ones in the US. And i can’t read a bunch of unrelated articles just to start forming an opinion of the source. So it makes sense that you instead have a selected party do that for you. But they will have their own bias. I assume republicans will have their own version of politifact due to their views being against reality. But you are right that these systems can’t be trusted either, but the devil you know is better then the devil you don’t
