      If Biden doesn’t ignore it entirely, he’ll call it an accident or whatever Netanyahu-senpai tells him to say.

        Q — outside an Israeli — or outside the Israel Embassy. Was the President aware of his death? Did he have any sort of response to it?

        MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Yes, the President is aware. And we can — I can say that it is — obviously, is a — it’s a horrible tragedy, and our thoughts are with the family of the servicemember at — during this — I could — we can’t even imagine this hor- — horrible, difficult time.

        Just thoughts and prayers. No acknowledgement of his reasons why, no policy change, just more weapons sent for Israel’s genocide

                The true factor is that Israel is a solid foothold for the US in the Middle East long term.

                Well, that’s the excuse.

                Don’t absolve Biden and the US of our level of culpability by reducing us to followers led astray by Netanyahu

                Led astray? No. Enthusiastically complicit.
