Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- 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 not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Caution the article writer is a wide-eyed lib (but thats guardian for you)

Yet when Hamas attacked, Biden, being at heart a decent and honourable soul, set differences aside. His mistake, or perhaps his wilful self-deception, was to believe Netanyahu was a man of similar mettle. Biden immediately proposed $14bn in military aid, deployed aircraft carrier battlegroups and flew to Tel Aviv.

Yet this show of almost unconditional support was promptly interpreted by Netanyahu as carte blanche to do whatever he pleased in pursuing Hamas in Gaza. His main “achievement” to date, given that the terrorists remain undefeated, is an unprecedented slaughter of Palestinian civilians, reportedly totalling nearly 16,000 deaths.

biden-the-thing "This isn't my fault, and I refuse to accept responsibility for any of the mass-murder we explicitly funded. That's the whole point of proxy wars!"

Netanyahu and Biden have the following conversation. Biden owns the largest gun and military outfitter store in state.

"I want all the guns and everything else. Night vision goggles and so on. The entire store. "

"Do you have money to pay for everything?"

"No. And you'll give them to me for free."

"Okay."

"And have your staff take them out to my vehicles. And make it snappy."

"Okay."

"We are going to kill everybody in the Gaza Mall."

"I'm also the governor. I got an idea. I'll set up police, SWAT team, and National Guard to stop anybody from interrupting you."

"Good."

The guns are loaded up and Netanyahu doesn't even say "thank you". He smirks and then he and his IDF boys drive away. They start to commit the worst mass shooting in American history at the Gaza Mall. Biden is interviewed by the media and says he's "concerned" about these developments.

anakin-padme-2 So the decent and honourable Biden withdrew his support, right?

~~Raymond Shaw~~ president Joe Biden is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life. Nothing that goes wrong, regardless of his direct involvement, funding, and vocal support,, can be blamed on him
