History will not forgive our complicity. The time is long overdue for us to end our support for Netanyahu’s destruction of the Palestinian people.

[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.” "

    That would be hilarious. But the US is doing nothing but supplying weapons and pretending not to hear the screams.

        I haven’t ever changed my mind, you just prefer specific language that blames it all on the US, which is inaccurate. You have proven many times that you don’t care at all about genocide if it can’t be used as a weapon against the US.

        You’re gonna run out of alts. 🚫

          The fact you think everyone who is against you is an alt says everything.

          You have proven many times that you don’t care at all about genocide if it can’t be used as a weapon against the US.

          Would love to see that cited
