A U.N.-backed report published in mid-March found residents of Gaza are facing “high levels of acute food insecurity.” According to aid groups, the number of people in Gaza experiencing “catastrophic hunger” has doubled since December. It’s now estimated that as many as 1.1 million people in Gaza — half of the population — are experiencing “
Please, send this article to President Joe Biden. No matter what, we cannot be the country responsibile for the ruination of Gaza and the murder of innocent human beings who happen to be at the mercy of Hamas. They are at the mercy of Hamas because Bibi Netanyahu had been supporting Hamas because he thought he could control them, and knew he couldn't control Abbas, who knows he could never trust Netanyahu.
Biden, why are we doing to Gaza what Putin is doing to Ukraine? (Of course, Ukraine never had an evil element like Hamas.) We are supplying excessive weaponry to Israel while the Putin backed Republicans in Congress refuse to arm and support Ukraine.
Netanyahu is a ‘war criminal’ bent on genocide of the Palestinian people. His rationale is his determination to destroy Hamas but for every child he murders there is a corresponding increase in Hamas supporters by at least two - the child’s parents. It is long past time to stop providing him with the weapons of war.
It's long past time for Biden to stop expressing outrage and FUCKING DO SOMETHING. Cut off the flow of weapons. Call for the people of Israel to boot Netanyahu. Support South Africa's charge of war crimes in the Hague. Recall the US Ambassador. Enough is enough.
I'm proud of my senator, Chris Van Hollen, who is leading the effort to get the U.S. to withhold offensive weapons until Israel stops restricting aid and stops using U.S.-supplied weapons in contravention of international law. A report will be issued on May 8, and it could mark a turning point.
Anyone reading this should contact your senator. If their name is on the list below, thank them. If not, urge them to publicly join Sen. Van Hollen's group. Fifty-five percent (55%) of U.S. voters oppose Israel's conduct of the war in latest Gallup poll, including 75% of Democrats. Some of those will abstain from voting for Biden if he doesn't change course, thus possibly handing the presidency to Trump.
LIST OF SIGNERS: Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Tim Kaine (D-Va.), Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), Peter Welch (D-Vt.), Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), Tom Carper (D-Del.), Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), Ed Markey (D-Mass.), Tina Smith (D-Minn.), Laphonza Butler (D-Calif.), Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.), and Chris Murphy (D-Conn.)
Our goal is to get rid of Fascist republicans. Sending weapons to a country that most of the world is against puts the Democrats in a very dangerous position when we need every single Democratic vote to ensure our way of life. Why the hell does the Biden admin think Netanyahu should be supported? Like trump, Netanyahu refuses to listen! The correct response is some form of punishment from the US, not a helping hand.
Can we EVER have an election where our stress levels aren’t through the ceiling because of these kind of decisions that go against the will of the people?
We need to defeat trump and we cannot lose sight of that. We also need to hear explanations from Biden and a far tougher stance.
The thing about the Biden administration's claims is that they are not even remotely plausible in their denial of Israel's human rights abuses. When Israel isn't admitting to atrocities outright, with expanded access to mobile phones and social media, these violations of international law are highly visible. Biden et al. can and should be challenged daily on this.
In one hand, Biden sends aid. In the other hand, he sends bombs. What is his reasoning? I don't understand how he can justify these decisions. Doesn't the U.S. have conditions for the military aid. Help me understand.
As this absurdity continues, arms transfers without conditions coupled with building piers to facilitate aid to those targeted by those arms, Biden is losing credibility, support and respect. As does America. This must end.
Hamas has no Air Force. F-35 and F-15's must be for some other mission. I urge President Biden to suspend the "transfer" of those planes until a new and more responsible government is in place in Israel. No more bombs!
Young people don't have the same view of lesser of evils as we do. I have every feeling that Trump re-elected will be the end of Democracy and have said so many times on here.
Back to my soapbox. Once again Netanyahu has disregarded the rules of war and IDF continues to do whatever it wants saying there are Hamas using citizens, humanitarian workers as shields or claiming they are collaborating with them as they used to get UN aid dropped by the US months ago now.
They Palestinian journalists who have reported on Tik Tok have pointed and reported on the atrocities of the IDF war against civilians since October, becoming targets themselves. What Hamas did in October was reprehensible. The Israeli response has been worse and backed by the USA.
Meanwhile back at the ranch, US Senate is ready all of a sudden to ban TikTok in America. I smell a rat. And the new best friend of Donald Trump, Yass is a major stockholer in Tik Tok. I am certainly sure our government already has as much info on each of us that the Chinese can glean.
Google is on the hot seat for incognito mode actually allowing tracking heard that yesterday on NPR.
And the great faux pas never addressed in March of 2020, the great hack of US government agencies under Trump admin.
When was the last time you heard somebody in Congress say we need to get to the bottom of that?
Biden hasn't kept up with the times. I stand by from my microcosm in the world, that a lot of millenials and Gen Z are not supporting him.
This election is the Democratic Party's to lose, and they are dropping the ball.
Netanyahu is a war criminal. What nerve to get in front of cameras with a limp excuse . . . “My Bad!” I don’t believe it was an accident at all to hit the food truck.
Let's say a school shooter armed with an assault weapon is massacring so many students that he's running out of ammo.
We shout at him, "You've killed too many students! Don't kill so many!" Quietly we say to him, "You need more ammo? Here's some more, and if you need even more, just ask."
This is nothing new. Israel controls every aspect of daily life for Palestinians in Gaza, and has for decades. They restrict the flow of water, electricity, food and medicine. It’s all in the name of fighting terrorism, when in fact it’s genocide.

Israel is wrong at this point in time. Hamas first attack on the festival was an atrocity but this response goes beyond overkill. Enough is enough.
