The Pentagon has said there are ‘no limits’ on how Israel uses its US-provided weapons despite the massive child death toll

During conversations with Israeli officials, it became clear to the Biden administration that Israel believed “mass civilian casualties” were an acceptable price of the bombing campaign in Gaza, The New York Times reported on Monday.
The Times report said that Israeli officials referred to US and allied bombing campaigns in Germany and Japan during World War II that killed hundreds of thousands of civilians. The reference includes the US fire bombings of Japanese cities, which killed around 100,000 civilians in Tokyo in one night in 1945, as well as the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Israel’s plans for mass slaughter in Gaza and the growing child death toll have not impacted US support. The Times report focused on how the Biden administration is paying lip service to the idea of limiting civilian casualties, but it acknowledged they’re not telling Israel what to do, only asking questions.
According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, at least 8,500 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since Israel unleashed its bombing campaign after the October 7 Hamas attack. The total includes over 3,500 children.
When asked if the US will put limits on Israel’s use of US-provided weapons in light of the child casualties, Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh said no. “We are not putting any limits on how Israel uses weapons that is provided. That is really up to the Israel Defense Force to use in how they are going to conduct their operations. But we’re not putting any constraints on that,” she said.
President Biden has accused the Palestinians of lying about the death toll, but Gaza’s Health Ministry is considered reliable, and the numbers reflect the massive number of bombs Israel has dropped on the enclave. UN officials told The Wall Street Journal that they believe the death toll is likely much higher since it doesn’t include people still under the rubble.
it highly bias version.
there are others options – send a mail. they dont exist.
not nice at all.
there you are typical p00fter jens… send a mail?
how about send a female… your mind is rotten to the core the same way the soul of the j3w is rotten to the bottom
what happened in gaza is completely different from what happened in japan and germany. you must be the same as japan and germany because you are the ones who conquer, not defend. liar policy.
israel is in it to win it because that is their only option. internet agitatalists hate it and so do university leftists because they feel mall and insignificant in comparison to israel, which is embodying kick-assness at the moment, and hamasians are getting their asses kicked. because that’s what happens when you launch a sneak attack on a bunch of unarmed civilians who, in the future, will be armed. israel is arming their public. ‘never again’.
you lost me at “agitatalist”
you’re clearly a half-wit schizo jew inbred
oy vey, hasbarat! never again what?
the murderous israelis show their true face to the world.
did you know that lucifer is running the show?
