Just a stern look.

The Biden administration is not planning to punish Israel if it launches a military campaign in Rafah without ensuring civilian safety.

Three U.S. officials, granted anonymity to detail internal discussions, told NatSec Daily no reprimand plans are in the works, meaning Israeli forces could enter the city and harm civilians without facing American consequences.

What even is the point of this article?

It's complete speculation and rage bait based on a hypothetical that hasn't happened yet and a false premise that makes the story sound atrocious.

It is not Israel's job to ensure civilian safety.

It is Israel's job to take reasonable efforts to minimize unnecessary civilian casualties and by all credible accounts they are doing that with telephone calls, text messages, and roof knocking.

If Hamas tells people the evacuation calls are a hoax, or otherwise coerces or forces people to stay behind, as they do, Israel has done all it is required to do by any standard of international law. They are prosecuting a war not hosting a tea party.

Were they doing said job when they sniped a 14 year old girl outside a hospital while she was going to get water?

If a sniper shot an unarmed kid at a hospital obviously that's criminal.

Except it is. And warning people who are stuck in an area the size of a fucking airport isn't a warning it's a terroristic threat. The IDF must let aid in and must let civilians evacuate through it's lines so they can leave the combat area.

No. No. Yes and yes.
