... while Blinken, playing both sides of the table, says no to a Gaza ceasefire but wants more aid sent to Gaza and France is sending armored vehicles to Lebanon.

Israel is starting to loose important political backing in its war on Palestinian people.

Prediction: They will continue to not listen to the UN.

A pity because for once the UN is right about something and it is actionable. Easier to stop combat than it is to stop using oil.

Telling Israel to let the terrorists take a smoke break to regroup is not actionable. If they want anything done, countries need to start offering real solutions.

Fine whatever nuke each other, see if I care.

Why would Israel be okay with letting the terrorists regroup? There is no benefit from it and a lot to lose.

U.N countdown to take action has hit one and a half, next time may be one and three quarters

Remember when mom yells at you to shut off the Sega and come to dinner and you're all like "yeaa I heard you!" And then you keep going because contra is a great game and gives you a real happy feeling but broccoli doesnt. Israel doing the same thing.

I can't believe I'm sharing this story here but why not. Genesis, Sonic 2. I was on the second to last level and said, "Fine! I'll come eat!" Paused, came back, and the game froze. Stopped playing Sonic 2 for like a month. Then learned about the stage select code.

What the article actually says..

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is touring the region to try to reduce the risks of the conflict escalating, get more aid into Gaza and draw up plans for a sustainable future for both Israel and the Palestinians.

To the OP that's both sides of the table

[–] girlfreddy@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The other links I provided say different ... like this one that says Blinken doesn't want to push for a ceasefire because it would let Hamas regroup.

I included other sources to refine my argument.
