The US is expected to sanction the IDF for the first time with Secretary of State Antony Blinken promising “results soon” when questioned at a recent presser in Italy.

  2. Lol 26 billion dollars and a stern warning and a possible BJ by Biden to Satanyahu and Benny Gandz, biden on knees behind the scenes taking a few loads

  3. Do you really think that will happen? No ! There is an election under way in USA.The government has to choose between American Muslim voters and the Jewish American voters !

  6. Sanction or no sanction does'nt matter. Washington and other racist western nations have blood of 15000 Palestinian children and 10000 women in their hand since October 7.
    They cannot hide war crime by this sanction drama.

  13. If US is concerned about human rights abuses, how is this different to war crimes? The US has not yet accepted IDF has committed any war crimes in Gaza or the West Bank. Seems like hypocracy.

  15. Lies, manipulation, self centred narcissism, cruelty, hatred, contempt, vanity. The worlds eyes are open. People have seen who Israel is. We will never unsee. We will never forget. We are committed. We are resolute. The clock is ticking.

  18. 😇😇😇😇😇The US/ EU should understand that that just like Russia successfully supporting it's Allies it should too. Because the Trust is biggest factor during wartime.And US is just doing the opposite. US may suffer miserably if it does not fully support it's allies during any potential conflict with its major rivals like china /Russia. They are even keeping hostility towards a potential ally like India by meddling in its internal affairs and causing Indian deaths in US, supporting khalistani terrorists against India, Instead wooing India on its side. Most probably India wont support US in a major war outbreak for sure…HERE US IS NOT SUPPORTING ISRAEL WHICH IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DOING BIGTIME!!!!

  20. What do people expect? These humans are trained to fight and kill then are sent out to do just that. After decades of constantly fighting a enemy that wants to wipe you from the face of the earth, I cannot harshly judge these soldiers that must fight against this cruel and ignorant people that allow a stupid religion drive their lives.
