    But I’ve been repeatedly informed that the democrats are secretly pro-Palestine and were only pretending to support Israel to win over Zionist voters. Now that Biden has nothing to lose, why isn’t he doing anything? Could it be that all those people were full of shit?

    If it’s not clear yet, the USA’s government claims they’re trying to restrain Israel’s genocide and continue to take steps and tip toe to peace, but in the back rooms they enable and encourage the whole of the enterprise.

    A 13 October letter addressed to then-Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant and Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer from their US counterparts said Israel must allow 350 aid trucks a day into Gaza over the next 30 days. Most aid organisations estimate that around 700 trucks a day are needed to meet everyday needs.

    In the second half of October, the World Food Programme said just 58 trucks a day were being allowed into Gaza

    It’s beyond tragicomedy and into dystopia. That anyone believes a word the complicit US government says about the fascist apartheid regime at this point is proof positive that political gaslighting is much more effective than most people believe.

    since then, Israeli forces have sealed off northern Gaza and announced on the day of the US election, on 5 November, that its former residents would not return to their homes.

    To the surprise of no honest and observant person paying attention. And with no consequences now or ever.

    I fucking hate how corrupt and fundamentally dishonest the motherfuckers who were the LEAST evil choice in the election they spectacularly bungled are 🤬

    Why does the US need to solve the issue?

    Aren’t all of those other sane countries with proper education and governments capable?

    You all sit around and circle jerk, ejaculating to the world’s issues and crying because the dumb Americans won’t fix it.

    Fix it yourselves, we’re all too busy being inbred hicks 🤷

      Israel IS the US outpost, it’s their version of a shell corp to deny responsibility

      Because it is causing the issue by propping up an apartheid state and giving them the weapons they’re using to commit genocide

      It’s simple, the US Empire is causing this issue. They perpetually fund Israel as a genocidal settler-colony that projects power in the Middle East so the Petro-Dollar is secure. When the world trades in dollars, the US Empire profits massively.

      I agree – the U.S. should stay out of the conflict by immediately ceasing all shipments of bombs and money to Israel.

      What, and cut off the flow of money going to politicians that are pro-Israel? Hand-wringing is the best they can manage.

        That’s just a side effect and what keeps the ball rolling. The entire point is that they give Israel money and the Israelis turn around and spend it on American “defense” contractors. It’s a round about subsidy for American industry with the bonus that they get a lackey in the middle east.
