It won't be because this isn't about Hamas just like Iraq wasn't about 9/11.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Kind of a big deal for her to talk this way. She may in fact not be scared of Netanyahu and AIPAC. Will be interesting to see what she does in her second term, when she has nothing to lose.
Can we please stop judging politicians by their virtue signaling and look at their actions?
Also "not be scared of Netanyahu and AIPAC" is contradictory to "what she does in her second term, when she has nothing to lose."
Either she isn't scared and can do something now, or she is scared but wants to do something else, postponing it, or indeed she just agrees with what is done.
Also Biden is not up for reelection. Still what he does and doesn't do speaks enough volumes to rebuild Gaza from those books.
Maybe you just don’t understand world politics? Things can’t “just be done”. Sorry. That’s naive.
It is always possible to stop allowing shipments of weapons. It is always possible to stop sending more money. It is always possible to stop vetoing UN security council resolutions. It is always possible to not make public statements of support.
Stopping your own actions is always possible. It may have ramifications, but the US full well knows, that it is the only reason Israel is not facing justice at the ICC and is made to stop the genocide. The US full well knows that all of its allies would follow suit, if it stopped supporting Israel. Many of their allies would prefer to do so, but are intimidated by the US threats.
The US would win a lot globally by stopping Israel and upholding a rule based international order for once. And the Democrats would win in a landslide on it, but they choose not to.
You underestimate the power and money of the Israeli lobby.
This statement may have actually beaten Biden's record of his red line comment only lasting a week considering it's only been 24 hours and there's a potential leak of Israel's attack plan on Iran, with assistance by yours truly USCC.
So are we changing our policy regarding selling them weapons no matter what?
The goal of Israel is to expand the lebensraum. Sinwar was a convenient excuse. Israel is sad the excuse is gone. They will make up a new excuse.
Hey look, they've transitioned from, "why won't she just say something?" to "I don't believe her when she says it"

Murder is progress when you're in a death cult.
Saying it's a turning point with no clear indication on where it should turn to is not an effective message from a political leader.
Hey look! Someone who only read the headline!
As someone who read the article, she did say it's a turning point with no clear indication on where it should turn to. I mean she said "we should end the war" but yeah how the fuck do you intend to do that? She says nothing other than "diplomacy", which is a dog whistle for "allowing Israel to do whatever it wants". I mean what the fuck is this?
“I continue to believe diplomacy is the answer to bringing lasting stability across the Israel-Lebanon border and as vice president — and with your help as president — I will do everything in my power to achieve these goals,”
Edit: On a closer look is it me or is she not mentioning Gaza in that proposed diplomacy of hers? She's only bringing up the Israeli-Lebanon border. If I'm reading this right, this is very damning and more or less confirms she has no intention of actually doing anything about Gaza.
Yep, she also promoted several false narratives.
"Everyone must seize this opportunity to finally end the war in Gaza, bring the hostages home, and end the suffering once and for all."
The rest of her statement. Which is in the article.
Yes, but how? This isn't anything Biden hasn't been saying for the past year, and we've seen nothing but escalation after escalation with absolutely no consequences. There comes a point when these words become meaningless.
That's fair. I don't trust her to actually do anything either.
