The White House on Tuesday indicated an Israeli strike that killed dozens of Palestinians in Rafah did not cross a “red line” that would lead to a change in U.S. policy.

Multiple administration officials in press briefings on Tuesday described the images out of Rafah as “heart-breaking,” “tragic,” and “horrific.” But there was no sign of an impending policy change as a result because it was an airstrike and not a major ground operation.

    I wonder how many other US allies could get away with genecide and we’d look the other way? The list is probably pretty long, we’re weirdly cool with genecide.

    Yet I remember a time we threw a hissy fit over France, to the point people wanted to call French Fries “Freedom Fries.” Wasn’t that because we were killing people in Iraq and they called us out on it? I think our country might just be pro-genecide.
