The U.S. will not change its policy on arms transfers to Israel even though the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip remains dire, the State Department said Tuesday, the deadline the White House set for Israel to ramp up access to aid in the besieged Palestinian enclave.
State Department spokesperson Vedant Patel told reporters the decision came as “Israel has taken a number of steps” outlined in a letter from Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to Israeli counterparts last month. “We continue to be in discussion with Israel about the steps they took and other steps they need to take,” he said.
An average of just over 30 trucks a day have been let into Gaza in recent weeks, representing “just over six percent of the daily needs,” according to Philippe Lazzarini, commissioner-general of the United Nations agency assisting Palestinian refugees, UNRWA.
Just shows that the democrats would rather lose to trump than to stop pouring billions into the military industrial complex.
There was/is no downside for the democrats to have ended the genicide in Palestine. Zionest and evangelical Christians were never going to vote blue anyways. So why give them what they want when they knew they would losemillions of Arab, Muslim, and left members of their base?
Literally many Arab, Muslim, and left organizations in swing states told DNC that they would not vote for them if they didn’t end the genicide. And the DNC and Neo-Liberals of the party laughed in their faces. Whelp. Here we are.
Is asking for no genicide by anyone really too much to ask for? Even more so when we literally have the power to stop it?
The logical answer is that Chuck Schumer, Bill Clinton, John Fetterman, Joe Biden and many, many, many other Democratic Party top brass and elected representatives, agree with this genocide and wish for nothing more than for the earth to swallow up the million children in Gaza (well, it used to be a million) so that the Jewish state can be more secure.
The logical answer is that Christian dispensationalism, Jewish supremacist (promulgated openly in the past by liberal herkes like Churchill) and deep disdain for Muslims and Arabs are baked into this old guard.
The logical answer is that the US political system is a plaything of special interests and that Christian fundamentalists, Israeli lobbyists and Jewish nationalists have successfully thwarted attempts by America’s moral majority to hold Israel accountable.
The only logical explanation is that they want the genocide. Nothing else makes sense at this point.
