Trump White House holds Hamas ‘entirely responsible’ for Israeli execution of Palestinian medics (thegrayzone.com)

The Trump administration has doubled down on its position that Hamas is to blame for Israeli troops executing 15 Palestinian medical workers in Gaza, even after a video showed that the Israeli military was lying about the incident.

The Israeli soldiers tried to cover up the crime by burying the 15 medics and their ambulances in a shallow grave. The army has since changed its story, acknowledging the lights were flashing and that they opened fire on unarmed men but claiming six of them were linked to Hamas while offering no evidence.

Despite the clear evidence of a war crime, the US is still backing the Israeli army’s conduct. “Hamas uses ambulances and more broadly human shields for terrorism,” White House National Security Council spokesman Brian Hughes told Reuters. “President Trump understands the impossible situation this tactic creates for Israel and holds Hamas entirely responsible.”

So glad all those Americans didn't vote because they couldn't support genocide only to end up with even worse genocide.

Looks like the same genocide to me. Except a bit more honest.

I am extremely happy I do not have to listen to Democrats spouting this bullshit anymore

Your kind likes to forget which people were in power when gaza was turned into "a parking lot". Who was it that set the stage for Trump and enabled his rhetoric of "rebuilding" Gaza? Which people were in power when billions were being sent to the rapists, murderers, and thieves, when they were being granted diplomatic cover, unconditional support, and immunity? Who was it that legitimized their attacks on civilians, noncombatants, journalists, healthcare workers?

Support for the rapists, murderers, and thieves and their wretched state has been historically unanimously bipartisan for decades, and any perceived rifts are nothing short of optics to placate the average "bleeding heart" liberal.

Time and time again, your kind would rather acquiesce and work against your own interests and the interests of those you claim to care for than take meaningful action if the latter were to even pose an ounce of risk. And where has this led us?

Now you get to suffer with us. Enjoy :)

Als sie mich holten, gab es keinen mehr, der protestieren konnte.
