[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.” "
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?
If that’s the take you want to have for the purpose of arguing online, I can’t stop you. I understand you can only see in black and white.
If you have a better summary of your position, go right ahead.
If I thought you actually wanted to talk to me, and not just get your kicks, then I would love to elaborate on how I think the entire world is complicit. But you’ve made it very clear that conversation can’t happen without personal attacks. Your time is better spent elsewhere.
Your elaboration would just be more deflection away from how the US is selling weapons for genocide. Though I have to say, it might be easier to oppose genocide in other countries, since some of them have at least one major political party that isn’t all about genocide.
Agreed. Genocide apologists are a waste of time and effort.
I point at a cow and you say it’s a duck.
Have a lovely day.
As long as you’re pointing away from what you don’t want to talk about.
As I said before I’m willing to have a discussion, but you’re not willing to have a discussion. You’re not here to find people who you can criticize to make yourself feel good. If you’re trying to make me feel bad, it’s not working at all
More like you pointed in a random direction without clearly stating what you’re doing then grew upset when someone asked you what you’re about.
You can read it like that because you just disagree with my opinion. But if it makes you feel better I don’t care about yours.
