[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 world isn’t silent, it has been condemned worldwide. The UN has called for ceasefires, the ICC has issued arrest warrants and people are demonstrating all over the world. Just because western media doesn’t cover it doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.
But there is little we can do short of going to war with the evil empire and its 800+ military bases scattered across the globe. All we can do is watch in horror and learn from it. Learn that it is not China, Russia, Iran or anywhere else you have been trained to dislike, that seeks to dominate the world and its resources. It is the collected gobshites that run the United States of America that are the planet’s biggest, most ruthless and most violent terrorists.
