Talk about outrage, I am outraged at the U.S. insistence on labelling the recent bombing that killed humanitarian workers an outrage, not a tragedy, but an outrage. In fact, I am disgusted that the US thinks it needs to condemn Israel for the unintentional killing of humanitarian workers, for other actions that Israel is not even taking (such as slowing humanitarian aid), and for raiding hospitals where Hamas is stationed. The U.S. seems to think that berating Israel will get them to behave themselves or be more careful, as if they were misbehaving children.
In case you haven’t noticed, John Kirby, there’s a war going on.
War is ugly. Bad things happen. Mistakes are committed. But the US has repeatedly spoken out as if Israel is irresponsible, as if Israel is not doing its best to get humanitarian aid to the Palestinians, as if Israel is not trying to avoid killing civilians whenever possible.
There’s a war going on.
Hamas is using its own people as human shields. It is occupying hospitals as military locations. It is holding hostages, most who may be dead. It has no intention of engaging in reasonable negotiations to release those hostages and stop the fighting. And when do you hear the protests of the US against Hamas?
Crickets.
It’s been obvious for a while that the US thinks Israel is not interested in doing anything except wiping out Hamas. The US believes that Israel does not care about civilians dying. Hamas must hope that the Palestinians will starve, because Israel will be blamed and held responsible.
The only reason that the Palestinians are starving is because Hamas will not negotiate a practical peace, and they steal supplies from civilians whenever they can. It wants to keep fighting, even if it means killing the last Palestinian in Gaza.
Where is the outrage for Hamas, President Biden?

Yep. That's what happens to the aid given to Gaza. Hamas takes it first. It doesn't get to the citizens they think are receiving it. It first goes to the soldiers. This is how it's always been in the history of warfare.
Hey, you want him to lose Michigan!?
The workers are in a war zone.
Things happen.
This is like being outraged Red Cross workers are killed by accident in Germany in WWII.
It is, at its core, simply being anti Israel.

Yes. I kept thinking, is there another word they could have used, and it hit me: tragedy. Which is exactly what it was. Thanks, Bryan.

If Slow Joe had wanted peace in the Mideast, he shouldn't have let the Iranians have that $76 billion that they've collected under his watch. Iran funds Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis.
Being president is a hard job. It's harder when you can't make it past 2:00 in the afternoon without all those pharmaceuticals.
