[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.” "
Only the last 20% of the article mentions weapons.
My comments are about providing aid.
Your comments are pro-netanyahu apologia whataboutism and absolutely nothing else.
Those are words that I have not said, and opinions I do not have. But you simply want to blame the US for everything, and anyone who gestures at how the whole world is attacking the Muslims must be some kind of apologist or whatever other words you think of to shut down the conversation.
I blame the US for their actions in a thread about their actions. How nefarious of me.
Whole world ain’t selling them weapons. I want my country to stop selling weapons to netanyahu for genocide. You want everyone to look the other way.
I don’t want them to look away. I want them to see the bigger picture. Israel will get weapons regardless of the US. The entire world is attacking the Muslims. But you don’t want to talk about that. You just want to focus on the US, because you’re American and can’t think about anything else.
Congratulations. I don’t want my country to be actively supplying a genocide anymore. You want lookoverthere!
You don’t care about Gaza or genocide, you just don’t want to have a hand in it. Other than that, not your problem. So American.
I mean, other countries are sovereign and I’m only a citizen of this one. I have even less influence over other countries than I do here. And no, unlike you, I don’t want to have a hand in genocide. I get that you don’t like that because that’s just all you are.
I can tell when I’ve won a conversation by how many words a person tries to put into my mouth.
I do not want manufacturing or selling of weapons.
I do not want a Muslim genocide.
Feel free to not listen to what other people say, like a typical American.
@Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world has been a consistent and unconditional ally of Palestine, quit coping
Palestine yes, Muslim genocide no.
