U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan said on Monday that President Joe Biden's administration does not view the killings of Palestinians in Gaza by Israel in its war with Hamas as genocide.
Sullivan said the United States wants to see Hamas defeated. He also said that Palestinians caught in the middle of the war were in "hell" and that a major military operation by Israel in Rafah would be a mistake.
"We do not believe what is happening in Gaza is a genocide. We have been firmly on record rejecting that proposition," Sullivan told reporters at the White House.
Sullivan expressed concern about reports of Israeli settlers attacking a humanitarian aid convoy on its way to Erez Crossing in northern Gaza, the second such incident in less than a week.
"It is a total outrage that there are people who are attacking and looting these conveys," Sullivan said. "It is completely and utterly unacceptable behavior."
You know there’s a genocide happening when you have to keep telling the people (Who are watching a genocide live on their phones) that there’s “no genocide happening”.
@Freedom762wks2W
You know your nation is being overrun by soulless socialist revolutionaries with negative IQs when the truth that it is not happening is not self-evidently clear.
@Madeline1208 2wks2W
you do realize that on average conservatives have a lower IQ no?
that being said, IQ isn't really that great of a measure of intelligence
@Freedom762wks2W
That's outdated, biased data. Some other data says conservatives have a *higher* IQ than leftists. But let's focus on how incoherent your argument is. It's basically:
(1) Conservatives have a lower IQ, so they're wrong
(2) Oh wait, never mind. What I said doesn't matter!
So even though you typed two sentences worth of words, you said nothing.
Embarrassing for you.
@Madeline12082wks2W
I didn't say you were wrong I said that your point that leftists are low-IQ is hypocritical and that IQ doesn't even matter
@TigerGregDemocrat2wks2W
Legally, "Genocide" is too broadly defined. The word is very misused as a result. Gaza has a population of 2.1M, and the casualties are around 13K according to revised UN data. Every civilian death is a tragedy, but this is not genocide by any means.
@Madeline1208 2wks2W
"there is no war in Ba Sing Se"
@Freedom762wks2W
Why on earth do these brainless college kids spend their days whining about a war six thousand miles away while there is a HOLOCAUST of innocent unborn children happening in our OWN COUNTRY NOW??? That's the Genocide I want addressed – ABORTION!
Chicago DNC Convention? More like Ground Zero II.
“White House says no "genocide" happening in Gaza.”
Oh ok.
So what exactly is happening in Gaza because clearly they are not defeating Hamas?
@Freedom762wks2W
Hate to burst your ignorant little bubble (genuinely, I do) but wars are not won in a month. Wars take YEARS to win – maybe these Muslim extremists should have considered that before attacking Israel on October 7th.
@Madeline1208 2wks2W
maybe the Israeli government shouldn't bomb innocent civilians and forcefully take the land of Palestinians
@Freedom762wks2W
First of all, it is using every means it has to *avoid* civilian casualties, to the greatest possible degree. It is warning the Muslims to evacuate the danger zone. This land does not belong to the Muslim Palestinians – the Arabs and Muslims control just about *all* of North Africa and the Middle East, and Israel is one tiny speck of sanity in that sea of barbarism. If these Arabs don't like Israel, they can leave, and move to the lands of their fellow radicals.
@Madeline1208 2wks2W
Show imagethe Israeli government actually controls the vast majority of Israel. I would like to know when or where Israel has warned Muslims and if them "accidently" bombing shelters and hospitals was part of that. Your categorization of Muslims as "radicals" and "barbaric" is incredibly racist.
@CapitolSophiaGreen2wks2W
Oh, well that settles it then lol.

Can the killing of civilians during a conflict ever be justified, and where do you draw the line between necessary military action and excessive force?
@9MGMCP32wks2W
It cant be justified if they are innocent civilians
