could risk

So this is meaningless

It's just another message saying stop making it so obvious what you are doing Israel.

Idk if it's my hearing or what, but this sounds to me like a dogwhistle. Specifically, like they're not saying that the second the election is over that the US is going to notice Israel is doing a warcrimes 100% run and they can either pump the breaks or the faucet turns off.

Like i said, might just be my hearing tho.

I sure hope this will be the case. It may be the only way out of this mess.

Delaying until after the election is very telling.

Sadly not at all surprising either

Don't worry though, American forces will be on the ground with patriot batteries to support the genocide, we just have to say this for the annoying anti-genocide people.

Host: US warns Israel to boost humanitarian aid into Gaza or risk losing weapons funding.
Contestant: What is a fig leaf?

We demand to pass out one cheese sandwich for every ten year-old we napalm. And if you don't do that, we will back down immediately!

Headline: US warns Israel to boost humanitarian aid into Gaza or risk losing weapons funding

First line of the article: The Biden administration has warned Israel that it must increase the amount of humanitarian aid it is allowing into Gaza within the next 30 days or it could risk

The headline is intentionally making it seem like the US is asking Israel itself to provide aid to Gaza, no they're just pretending to ask Israel to please stop preventing other people from trying to provide aid to Gaza.

Thanks Associated press, very cool.

"If you don't send more aid to help the people who are only being hurt because we keep supplying you with weapons, we'll stop supplying you with weapons"

[–] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 month ago

Israel is not sending the aid but stopping others from doing it

Is that a threat to pull the leash?

And the deadline is just after the election and if Trump wins, then they don't need to do absolutely anything. Just wait and take preventive measures if Harris wins.
