    Even George Bush Jr. understood the concept of “you break it, you bought it.” It is clear that Netanyahu sent troops into Gaza with no consideration for either 1) How basic needs like food, water and shelter would be provided to impacted civilians, or 2) What system of leadership would maintain order in Gaza following the war.

    War crimes are war crimes whether they are by design or by incompetence. Israelis who are protesting the war rightly point out that this is not making Israel any safer, nor leading to the release of hostages, nor the return of the more than 100,000 internally displaced Israelis.

    it’s so bizarre that the world’s uncontested super power is reduced to using sternly worded letter to the manager like some basic karen.

    i get that this letter is intended to prove that the administration is taking efforts to end the genocide; but it makes me wonder about the world views of the people in the administration who somehow aren’t aware that sternly-worded-letters are so laughably silly in this day and age that they’re a meme.

    Its like gentle passive parenting with 0 proffesional assistance when your kid has conduct disorder (pediatric precursor to antisocial personality, the newer, updated version of psychopathy). “Can you please put the knife down sweetie? Knives make people sad!”
