I don't think this was intentional, of course. But if you see enough murdered kids this sort of coincidence happens.
Kamala says she's working tirelessly for a ceasefire, but we don't see any results yet. Is Biden still alive? What's he doing?
Show me where the US has any sort of direct control over what Israel does. Or France, for that matter. You couldn't possibly more transparent, друг.

Maybe we should have brought Rusty Venture into the negotiations. It’s a shame Rusty’s not real.

Years ago when Israel was bombing Gaza, Ronald Reagan saw a photo of a little boy with both arms blown off. He called Menachem Begin on the telephone and told him it was a bad look, and he should cut it out. Begin declared a ceasefire. Granted, we know it didn't last long, but any ceasefire at all saves lives.
It's sad that our current leadership lacks the will or the power that Reagan apparently had.
If the US cut off funding for Israel everything would change.

If you’ve seen A Clockwork Orange, you should have a good hint there. Or if you found a “Cyrillic letters to Latin alphabet” Chart

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Well, I could always google it. But he seemed like he wanted a fight, so I thought maybe I didn't want to know.
It's fun to think I'm a Russian agent, though. Much more interesting than I really am.
