President Joe Biden on Tuesday described the killing of a 26-year-old American activist in the Israeli-occupied West Bank last week as an apparent accident, backing the Israel government’s description.

"Once you've been to Gaza, you'll never stop wanting to beat Benjamin Netanyahu to death with your bare hands."
Wins. And MacOS.
So if Israel had any kind of military base near civilian areas, would that mean it's using Israeli citizens as human shields?
"Echoing his leader, Major General Igor Konashenkov, chief spokesman for the Russian Ministry of Defence, stated in a news conference on February 28 that “the armed forces of the Russian Federation strike only at military targets”. Discussing the capital, Kyiv, he added that “the leadership of Ukraine and the authorities of the city, having announced a curfew, are persuading the residents of the capital to stay in their homes”. This, he concluded, “once again proves that the Kyiv regime uses the residents of the city as a ‘human shield’ for the nationalists who have deployed artillery units and military equipment in residential areas of the capital”."
"Then on March 3, Moscow accused Ukrainian authorities of holding a group of 6,000 Indian students and other foreign nationals as “human shields”. Indian authorities themselves denied the claim. A couple of days later, Putin declared that “the neo-Nazis” were obstructing the creation of humanitarian corridors requested by the Ukrainian government to evacuate civilians trapped in the line of fire, claiming “the militants” were keeping the potential evacuees as human shields."
Basically this in every capacity.
Immigrants are easy to hate and kick out. They are already probably vulnerable as a group, so kicking them while they are down while screaming, "YOU DON'T EVEN BELONG HERE!" makes emotionally immature people feel like they regaining control and protecting their country. This however has nothing to do with the other. Societies where racism begins to thrive will pick any vulnerable group. In Nazi Germany, it was the Jews. In China, it's the Uyghurs. In many European countries, it's the immigrants.
What exacerbates this further is that hating on immigrants (or any vulnerable group) worsens their conditions which makes it easier to point the finger and blame them for crime or lack of resources. Rinse and repeat. The spiral continues. The racists get more validation after pushing the immigrants down, and the immigrants become more frustrated with a country that doesn't value their taxes and contributions.
One of the best things I've read in a long time. Thank you
Yeah just keep talking with the person you think I am in your head...
Like I said, I do know who she is... thanks to CNN and their desperate attempts at remain relevant among celebrity worshippers. Now it's your turn to repeat exactly what you said before!
She does all that and yet it all sounds repetitive and bland. She might as well be replaced by an AI.
Correct. Propaganda doesn't need to be unfactual. Using a celebrity figure to promote a certain party or ideology because idiots with no music taste love to worship this "musician" is propaganda... whether we like the party she advocates for or not.
It's because she's rich bitch who wants to sell. No other reason.
When is the last time you changed your mind about something big?

Israeli snipers shooting at ‘every moving object’
As we reported earlier, Israeli snipers killed at least 21 people in Khan Younis in the south of Gaza, where displaced Palestinians were gunned down trying to reach Nasser Hospital.
Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud, reporting from Rafah, says that Israeli snipers are surrounding the area of Nasser Hospital and “shooting at every moving object” as people are trying to reach it from the two densely populated residential neighbourhoods from the eastern and the western part of the hospital.
“The area around the hospital is very dangerous, and it has turned into a combat zone,” he said, noting that the hospital area is the only place right now in Khan Younis that has some water left.

Israel minimizes civilian casualties more than anyone in history
While some have argued Israel could have waited longer, used different munitions, or not conducted the war at all, these all fail to acknowledge the context of the hostages, rockets, and tunnels.
