In Frank Admission, Biden Says Yemen Airstrikes Not “Working” But Vows to Continue Anyway
“Well, when you say ‘working,’ are they stopping the Houthis? No. Are they going to continue? Yes,” he said.

Sure, while financially and politcally supporting genocide in Palestine and bombing the shit out of Yemen

Even using the same tactics! Airstrikes against unconfirmed targets that turned out to be civilians, and then the "double tap" to hit survivors and anyone trying to help www.nbcnews.com/world/israel...
What is a 'double tap,' and why has Israel's use of it outraged so many?
Israel bombed a Gaza hospital, waited 7 minutes and then bombed it again, killing people who rushed to help. It's not the first time that has happened.

I'd have more sympathy if that wasn't the exact thing they constantly accuse "the other side" of doing to justify their ghoulish agendas, e.g. antivaxers, covid denialism, election denial, etc etc

In fact it is also illegal to murder narcotics smugglers.

It continues to baffle me how quickly Biden stans smash the block button when presented with reality

There was one (1) ceasefire between 10/23 and 1/25.

Biden supported ethnic cleansing by defunding the main organisation that feeds Gaza www.npr.org/2024/02/18/1... and approving $20+ billion in weapons to Israel ($8 billion in Jan '25) www.bbc.com/news/article....
Biden plans to send $8bn arms shipment to Israel
The weapons consignment, which needs approval from House and Senate committees, includes air-to-air missiles.

Looks like the Greek is just Συρία, so not surprising

Do we know the source text for this translation of Luke? Always interesting to see what medieval authors consider to be in شام
