The US does not believe Israel has launched a full-scale invasion of Rafah in southern Gaza, White House spokesman John Kirby has said.

. . .

Mr Kirby told journalists that images from Sunday’s strike, which killed mostly women, children and elderly people, were “heartbreaking” and “horrific”.

“There should be no innocent life lost here as a result of this conflict,” he added.

But he acknowledged that Israel was investigating the incident and said he had “no policy changes to speak to” following the recent events in Rafah.

    We are funding a genocide, plain and simple. I don’t care how the media of the government spin it, our tax money is used to kill innocent civilians

      I agree with you, but we have been doing it for 20 years in Afghanistan and with America’s imperialist history we have been shitheads for our entire existence (not even touching on chattel slavery). America was never great but maybe we can be better if we find a way to hold our politicians accountable.
