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.” "

    The US is selling weapons to netanyahu for genocide. You come into a thread about how the US is selling weapons to netanyahu for genocide and try to divert to anything other than how the US is selling weapons to netanyahu for genocide.

    There are other threads where you can talk about how much you hate ml. For talking about how the US is selling weapons to netanyahu for genocide.

          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.

            and anyone who gestures at how the whole world is attacking the Muslims

            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.

                  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.
