    The US stands with Israel, but we aren't going to stand by while they commit war crimes. Good on the Biden administration for forcing this course correction. I hope to keep seeing more and stronger evidence of our commitment to human rights and the international order during this war.

        I don't disagree, it's just nice to see my country pushing for any tiny amount of adherence to international laws in this specific case and I hope we see more of it.

      If you stand with Israel then you stand with war crimes. Israel is not going to stop until it completes its ethnic cleansing mission. Don't act surprised when whatever is left of Palestine is wiped off the map sooner or later.

      Don't take this (too) badly, but given what those in power have done there, "Standing with Israel" is morally the same as "Standing with Hamas", except perhaps that you're standing in a pool of blood which is maybe 100x deeper if you stand with the former than the latter.

      The only side to take here that's a "moral highground" (and hence not in a pool of blood) is that of the innocent civilians who are being murdered by both sides.

      during this war

      It was Israel partially with America's miitary aid that made this into a war.
