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.

Bernie Sanders May 08, 2025

[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.” "

    I’m literally saying I don’t want the manufacturing or selling of weapons.

    And yet somehow you think I am ok with the manufacturing and selling of weapons.

    Cow, duck.

      By whom? For whom? Let’s see if you can even admit that netanyahu is committing genocide.

        The US should not be manufacturing and selling weapons. Especially to Israel, given that they are using them for genocide.

        Germany, UK, India, still sell Israel weapons and are complicit in genocide.

        India has recently escalated their attacks on Pakistan, who is like 95% Muslim. As you mentioned, China is also participating in a global Muslim genocide.

        Do you recognize the global genocide of Muslims?

          Do you recognize the global genocide of Muslims?

          Why wouldn’t I?

          As you mentioned, China is also participating in a global Muslim genocide.

          As you mentioned, you have no problem with china or their genocide. Just ml.

            Yes or no, do you believe there is a global Muslim genocide or do you not?

                Before you continue engaging, I suggest having a look at their comment history, unless you’re just enjoying taking the piss out of them. Our lad’s primary mode of communication is deflection.

                You did not say yes or no. You said why wouldn’t you? And I can think of a number of reasons why you might not but I don’t know you… So I’m going to give you the opportunity to answer that question to be very clear with your opinions so I do not put words in your mouth.

                  You did not say yes or no.

                  And you didn’t say verbatim that netanyahu was committing genocide. So until you say that netanyahu is committing genocide, don’t talk to me.
