Sharing for the video, not the tweet caption.

Was wondering if Israel would use bunker busters, considering the damage they would cause. It may sound heartless to say, but I'm glad they did. Trying to destroy that terrorist HQ without them likely would have killed even more people, even if the optics wouldn't have been this bad
didn't somebody say upthread that only US planes could discharge bunker busters? Or am I mixing it up?

The F15s are American planes. I think there may have been talk about America needing to approve of how Israel uses the weapons it supplies, but America has repeatedly said they are not involving themselves in Israel's decisions and that they are free to do as they see fit.

Biden, Blinken, Kirby, and co deserve loads of credit for that

Very nice. Though this tweet is inaccurate as he never stated he wants to be Jewish.

I'm waiting for the news to come out that Hamas is preventing US nationals from leaving in order to get them killed from Israel's bombs...

But I thought the UN said Hamas wasn't operating in Jabalia?

BBC far back as 20 years ago would like to disagree

Attorney of a US family is criticizing the US and Biden on CNN for not getting any Americans out today and not communicating with his clients about any plan.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

WaPo has four full pages of small print describing what has been like to live in Gaza since October 7th. There is ZERO mention of the attack by Hamas, only the reaction on people who had nothing to do with it, in a vacuum.
It's too big to post, but PM me with your email if you want to read it. Or someone can post a link?
