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.” "

Genocide is a crime against humanity according to the United Nations.
Protesting genocide is a hate crime according to the USA (and a sadly growing number of other complicit states).

Literally every country on earth is doing nothing. Where is your precious China, ML? Why don’t you harp about that? Oh right, it’s because you don’t actually care about Gaza or genocide.
Because the U.S. will attack anyone who tries to intervene.
I don’t think they would. They might sell more guns to Israel though.
I didn’t realise China was providing arms to Israel. Because if they were, like they are providing arms to Russia, then they would be being at harped on, as they are. But there is one cuntry in particular that is enabling genocidal Israeli monsters. The US of fuckwitt A. Fuck Trump, Genocide Joe and every American who has allowed and continues to allow this heinous crime against humanity. You are the worst version of yourselves yet.
I don’t see Australia providing aid. Or even offering. Everyone wants to point a finger but the entire human race seems to not give a shit. Yeah, the largest arms manufacturer in the world provides arms to a lot of places, and that should stop being an export. The whole world should stop making guns.
And yeah we are a shitty version, and we are going to learn the hard way real soon.
No one can provide aid to Gaza unless Israel allow it. They will not. USA has vetoed all attempts to force a ceasefire through the UN, against the desires of almost every other country on the planet. The fingers are pointing for good reason. There is no indication Americans will learn anything. Except maybe how to live your best life under fascism. It must be frustrating. Australia is doing better, but not much. Our spineless leader still labels Israel as “a friend”.
Has anyone tried? A big convoy full of supplies and white flags? Just enter through Rafah and bypass Israel. Heck the beach is pretty big.
But it’s gonna be hard to find a country who likes Muslims enough.
You should try reading up on the aid efforts that have been made.
Do you think that hasn’t been tried yet?
Israel has shot, bombed, and attacked those flying white flags (including their own citizens), the red cross, medics, hospitals, those with press badges and identification, the un, and most recently an aid ship in the Mediterranean.
They got what they wanted. They derailed the thread and made it about themselves, rather than the actual victims of genocide the post referenced.
I’m still waiting for/half expecting them to soon say Israel is doing nothing wrong its everyone else’s fault
Clearly they need to stream it live.
Why won’t the muslim majority country provide aid? And take in refugees? Why only US is blamed for it?

That’s a good question. Why won’t they? Where is Britain? They owned (stolen) the land before it was given to Israel. Maybe take it back.
AIPAC
Or, put another way: money
Easy. They got enough progressives to care about it to not vote, and now that wedge issue is done and they have total control over the government because somehow, Israels actions are the fault of Democrats.
Simple as that.
Because they’re complicit
The ADL that’s why. Fuck those guys.
And AIPAC, and other de facto foreign government pressure groups that wouldn’t be allowed to have a tenth as much influence on American politics if they were representing any other country.

The US has a lot of citizens in Israel, and a lot of Israeli citizens with families in the US, so it’s hard to turn from the historic unconditional support to conditional support or even lack of support. No matter who is in office, the reality of this is strong.
Just the same as the NATO countries are finding it complicated decoupling from the MAGA US. It’s not so simple to unwind national relationships. It would be nice if it was easy, but it just isn’t, especially in a democracy where there’s a significant fraction of voters who are unmoved by the Gaza disaster. It’s sad but true.
