[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.” "
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?
