As human rights groups continue to call out war crimes committed by the Israeli military, we speak to the only U.S. diplomat to publicly resign from the Biden administration over its policy on Israel.
We first spoke to Hala Rharrit when she resigned from the State Department in April, citing the illegal and deceptive nature of U.S. policy in the Middle East. “We continue to willfully violate laws so that we surge U.S. military assistance to Israel,” she says after more than a year of Israel’s war on Gaza.
Rharrit says she found the Biden administration unmovable in its “counterproductive policy,” which she believes has gravely harmed U.S. interests in the Middle East. “We are going to feel the repercussions of that for years, decades, generations.”
Why would you need to lie about them carpet bombing civilians as proof for genocide if you’re convinced that’s the case without it?
do you actually think the potential misapplication of the word carpet is the thing that makes it a genocide or not? let me help you with that
the proof is in the genocidal language and intent, the mass starvation, the indiscriminate targeting of civilians and infrastructure, the manipulation of journalism, the unhesitating violation of human rights and international law. its a genocide because of the systematic erasure of a people, a culture. ‘carpet’ is very obviously used in a figurative sense to describe “a lot, like in world war two” above, not the technical sense your strictly literal pedantic argument would require to have any pretense of validity. “lie about carpet bombing”
Carpet bombing in WW2 wasn’t called that because they dropped a large number of single bombs over a country over a large period, it was called that because it’s a technique where you try to cover an area with a dense carpet of bombs all at once
I refer to the entirety of my previous comment, and especially my comment before that which mocked you for this.
I think you could write 100 comments but none of them would support your claim that Israel is carpet bombing civilians
I refer to two comments ago in which I explained how neither I nor the person who originally used the word ‘carpet’ were claiming that israel was “carpet” bombing civilians, try actually reading the 2nd half of the 2nd paragraph of that comment. This subject is a red herring and a very very stupid waste of my time. Further attempts to engage on the subject will be taken as evidence of bad faith on your part.
the person obviously does not know that “carpet” bombing means anything other than “a lot, like in world war 2”. this pedantic bullshit you’re trying to pull does not fly, nor does it argue against the fact of genocide if true. i have already answered literally all of this before. it is a red herring, you are not arguing in good faith, and i am now blocking you, you disingenuous troll.
