[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 thread is about how the US congress is silent about its complicity in the Gaza genocide. If you want to talk about how much you hate .ml and china (but actually just ml) that’s fine, but don’t pretend it’s out of like to talk about the US’ involvement in genocide in a thread about the US’ involvement in genocide.
Right the entire topic is asking why a group of people aren’t talking about something. I’d like to expand that circle a little wider and ask, why the fuck as no one talking about it?
But I guess complaining about humanity is too broad for these people. They need something specific to hate. So let’s blame
Israelthe US.I have no problem with China—just hypocritical ML, who don’t actually care about human lives in Gaza, just crushing the west.
You mean you support China’s genocide of Uyghurs? You’re consistent, I guess.
Sorry, only genocide that impacts the west matters. /s
Now you don’t want to talk about China?
I’d be happy to talk about China—and everyone else—not helping the Muslim genocide.
I’d like to talk about the people who actively assist netanyahu with his genocide, since that’s what the thread is about.
You only brought up China as a distraction until I started talking about the genocide they were directly involved in. Then for some reason you don’t want to talk about them. Then again, you made it clear that you have no problem with genocidal China, just people to your left on the internet.
They aren’t to my left. They call themselves left, but that’s only lip service.
Ok. So anyone who is upset about the US’ complicity in the genocide in Gaza but doesn’t talk about China instead must be a tankie and therefore to your right?
