[based on speech given to US Senate]
"Thursday marks 68 days and counting since ANY humanitarian aid was allowed into Gaza. For more than nine weeks, Israel has blocked all supplies: no food, no water, no medicine, and no fuel.
Hundreds of truckloads of lifesaving supplies are waiting to enter Gaza, sitting just across the border, but are denied entry by Israeli authorities.
… Defense Minister Israel Katz said, “Israel’s policy is clear: No humanitarian aid will enter Gaza, and blocking this aid is one of the main pressure levers.” "
Sir, between the two of us, only one of us has been rude and insulting. I’d welcome any url of any thread where I’ve done that.
Secondly, isn’t this the red herrings and whataboutery people upset with any criticism of their exceptionalim constantly bang on about?
I’m not saying you have, I’m saying if you can have a conversation, let’s do it. We can see who breaks first.
Post the article in a thread. I’m sure many of us will have plenty to say, if it posts in our feeds.
We are right here. Let’s talk about how no country on earth is providing aid to Gaza. Let’s talk about WHY that is. It’s not because of the US is selling weapons.
Related, India is attacking Pakistan—~95% Muslim.
No. You don’t get to throw a tantrum because your feelings are hurt and you’re incapable of reflecting on our complicity in war crimes.
Is anyone else complicit?
