US has no evidence of unfolding genocide in Gaza, Pentagon says

[Fort Fun Indiana]

The United States does not have evidence that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza as it carries out its war against Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told a Senate hearing on Tuesday.

"We don't have evidence of that," Austin told the Senate Armed Services Committee.




Hamas's October 7 attack on Israel killed 1,200 people, according to Israeli tallies. Israel's subsequent military assault on Hamas-governed Gaza has displaced nearly all its 2.3 million population and led to genocide allegations that Israel denies. The United States is Israel's biggest military supporter but has pressed it to do more to help civilians in Gaza.

Austin's testimony was interrupted by multiple pro-Palestinian protesters who erupted into applause each time Capitol Hill police escorted a demonstrator out of the senate chamber.

We all know there is no genocide Gaza.

Because someone kinda sorta FEELS like it is genocide? That's doesn't cut it.

Also, I can't guarantee they 'voted'. I mean, in the same sense occupied Ukrainians 'voted'. 'Vote correctly for Mr. Putin or you're a Ukronazi'. Not much of a choice.

It's no different here in the US. We're told every day by the media, the current administration, and conspiracy theorists right here on this board that if we don't vote for Joe Biden, we're "Nazis", "fascists", and "insurrectionists". But we stand up and exercise our civil right to vote for the candidate of our choice anyway. The Palestinians could have done the same thing, but they didn't.

Really? You have machinegunners and masked army men near polling stations? Suuuuure, it's 'same thing'... right

Oh. The UN is not anti-Israel since being occupied by Arab oil bloc in the 1970s...

It was the UN who carved up Israel during the 1948 Armistice, and made them give away Gaza and the West Bank to the Arabs.

The UN is very anti-Israel.

Long before the current Human shield death tactics by 2023/4 Gaza regime...intended to maximize fatalities...for victimhod purposes


The (Pallywood drama fake language "apartheid/genocide" etc.) PALLYWEID G slur was also pushed already in 2014 by racist Francesca Albanese ...​

They would have a stronger ground to stand on, if they had a safe place to mass protest their own leadership, who should, at this point surrender.

This is, a given.

. . . but where could they protest at this point, with out being slaughtered like sheep?

Most still support Hamas.

It would be interesting to hear the response from a wounded five-year-old Palestinian if asked "What did you expect would happen to you when you hate the Jews and want to kill them when you grow up?"

Tal Mitnick and Sofia Orr, the two Israeli teenagers conscientiously objecting to being drafted into Israel’s campaign of terror in Gaza, have sent a letter to President Biden excoriating him for his unconditional support of the Netanyahu regime, per the Intercept. The two heroic peaceniks write “Your unconditional support for [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu’s policy of destruction, since the war began, has brought our society to the normalization of carnage and to the trivialization of human lives…It is American diplomatic and material support that prolonged this war for so long. You are responsible for this, alongside our leaders. But while they’re interested in prolonging the war for political reasons, you have the power to make it stop.” These kids wrote this letter before reporting for their latest round of prison sentences, which have reached unprecedented lengths. As the article notes, “The refuseniks are not alone in their opposition, nor in the treatment they face. Throughout the war, Israelis have taken to the streets of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem to protest the war and Netanyahu’s government. This past week, Israeli police arrested and beat protesters and hostage family members calling for an end to the war, just the latest example of Israelis being punished for voicing dissent or sympathy with the people of Gaza.”
