The top U.S. official working on the humanitarian situation in Gaza told aid groups in August that the U.S. would not consider withholding weapons from Israel for blocking food and medicine from entering the enclave — a rare admission by someone in the administration.

At the Aug. 29 meeting in Washington, Lise Grande told the leaders of more than a dozen aid organizations that the U.S. could potentially consider other tactics to convince Israel to allow life-saving aid into Gaza — such as applying pressure through the United Nations, but stressed that the administration would continue to support Israel and would not delay or stop weapons shipments.

    We get the sweat off of netenyahus balls, and Biden/Harris/Trump gets paid for it, and we get… nothing? I dont like this arrangement, but I guess we have to vote for Harris or Trump and have no choices?

      You could work to dismantle the system. Heck, if people had joined the uncommitted movement instead of attacking it for their establishment overlords, the Democratic party could have been pushed to offer a candidate against genocide and for genuine social policies.

      But people let themselves get gaslighted and happily rallied around their party leaders, despite getting fucked by them.

        I mean I’m not getting fucked by Harris but I would be killed by trump. Once Harris is in im still going to be pushing the US to tell Israel to fuck off.
