The people of Gaza aren’t the first or only people on earth being forcibly relocated. They chose death that isn’t the US fault.
Wrong. The aid is being pillaged by a local warlord paid for and helped by Israel, it’s been all over the news.
& that’s somehow worse than I don’t know, bombing Gaza for fun. There were actual tours
Why would they do this to themselves and their base population?
Shut the fuck up.
You should be killed.
As were said many times by UN who distribute the aid, there are no evidence of Hamas stealing it. So far they weren’t proved wrong.
Are Hamas the ones murdering people trying to receive aid too? Are they the ones who have shut off water access in the first place?
Why bother? This is a person who has been thoroughly hollowed out
Aid isn’t making it in as Israel is blocking it. The reason Israel is blocking it is that Hamas is holding Israelis hostages.
Both deliberately starving people and taking hostages are illegal under international law. Israel absolutely in the wrong here especially since the ICJ ordered them to allow aid. Hamas isn’t helping anyone but Israel isn’t a victim.
Oh yeah I bet if Hamas gave them the hostages they would totally stop their genocide then.
Hamas starves its own citizen is a really smart take. Really smart
Because if I go try to make my government stop the senseless killing they will shoot me in the head.
Why is Germany? Or Australia? Russia or China? Japan? Why are you giving them a free pass?
Because this is not even talking about ongoing genocide. But basic food being blocked by US veto in the UN. See the vote www.universal-rights.org/vote-details/?resolution…
Israel and United States at the bottom. Since Israel doesn’t have as veto power, US did it for them.
The UN has always been a veto exercise, nothing useful happens there so why would you expect it? It’s as performative as the US Congress with even fewer results. One side gets to tell their constituents “I voted for a good thing” and the other gets to say they defended their national interests on the global stage.
What would happen if this did pass, Israel just blushes and let’s them through? What’s to stop them from doing this in an agreement separate to the UN? Is Isreal really going to go to war with dozens of countries to stop some aid going through? Is the US going to sink their ships? No shot.
All of these countries are just as fine with the status quo as the USA. They just get to pretend there’s a valid reason for their inaction.
The entire global stage is at fault here, but the buck magically stops at Daddy USA no matter who’s in charge.
Those countries can provide aid without going through the UN.
I ask again, why are those countries not?
Reminder: Americans != The U.S.
They are now.
United-Statesian directly voted for this. US foreign policy is controled by the president or at this point king. It might not have been every United-Statesian, but it is on them. Well over 50% country still support ongoing genocide.
So yes, United-Statesian are not the same as US, but the damage done is theirs to carry for dacades to come.
That is a pretty hot take honestly
It would not have mattered if they voted differently.
