Trump says Israel would hand over Gaza after fighting, no US troops needed

[atzanteol@sh.itjust.works]

US military probably told him it was a war crime and they wouldn't have any part of it.

[remon@ani.social]

Since when is the US military opposed to commiting war crimes?

[sfxrlz@lemmy.world]

with a all undue us revisionism this is a hard one

[hootinnhollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

This is just serving as softening the blow for trump. Fuck that. The turd cant walk back what we all heard him say with his own mouth

[knightly@pawb.social]

He seems to think Israel is a U.S. client state rather than the other way around. XD

[atzanteol@sh.itjust.works]

There is a difference in "war crimes happened" and "going out to explicitly commit a war crime".

[hikingvet@lemmy.ca]

The US maintain ls and uses several weapons classified as war crimes. Such as cluster munitions.

[thecriticalmember@aussie.zone]

Definitely sounds like something Israel would want to do.

[dkarma@lemmy.world]

Nah he just knows his compromise will be ok Israel gets Gaza but I get hotels there

[dkarma@lemmy.world]

Yeah it's called politics

[saleh@feddit.org]

Yeah. War crimes "happened". And then they "happened" again. And again. And nothing changed. And another country got invaded illegally by the US. And another. And yet another. But all of that is not intentional.

You can see that it is all not intentional, because the US passed a law to invade a supposed ally and NATO partner, if the international court there would investigate US war crimes. And now that the court is investigating war crimes by an ally of the US, the US is attacking the court with sanctions.

Nothing says "i dont want to commit crimes" like threatening to murder the judge and slashing the tires on his cars...
