Gaza’s government media office accused the Israeli army of “committing a horrific massacre”. More than 70 people were killed and about 250 others wounded, it said in a statement on Thursday.

The citizens had congregated at al-Rashid Street, where aid trucks carrying flour were believed to be on the way. Al Jazeera verified footage showing the bodies of dozens of killed and wounded Palestinians being carried onto trucks as no ambulances could reach the area.

“I have been waiting since yesterday. At about 4.30 this morning, trucks started to come through. Once we approached the aid trucks, the Israeli tanks and warplanes started firing at us, as if it was a trap.

    Any single vote lost for Biden allows the Trump voters (who don’t give 2 shits about genocide in Gaza) 1 less vote against their guy, which in turn makes it more likely Trump will win. First Past The Post is a winner take all thing. There’s no 2nd place in politics.

      Has Biden considered not supporting genocide then? He’d get a lot more votes that way. Politicians should bend to the will of the people not the other way around.

      Besides Biden hasn’t “lost votes”, he just hasn’t done anything to earn them other than not be Trump. I wouldn’t count a vote he never had as a vote that he lost

      Even if Biden does get elected it’s just adding a few more years to the clock

        Interesting how even when it’s spelled out you reject the premise and pivot back to your talking points, regardless of how true the original point is

          At least I now understand what I’m arguing against. If anything I shows I’m consistant in my beliefs.

          You said blank and I said please elaborate on blank and when someone else elaborated for you I said I disagree with that because of blank and then you came back to make a short quip about it bc that’s the only only thing you do

            No you claimed you didn’t understand something, then immediately discarded the explanation when it was given.

            As I expected, you already understood and you were simply sealioning

              I did not immediately change my opinions after hearing someone explain their perspective so I must be disingenuous.

              I’m sorry you go through life thinking like this :/

                You didn’t bother to attempt to address a good point. But it was obvious you wouldn’t so no surprise
