Unlike other Democratic politicians who talked about the need to end the war, including US President Joe Biden who spoke on Monday, Obama chose to make vague comments about human rights and global peace, while making substantive remarks on several domestic policy issues such as affordable housing, reproductive rights, and immigration.
Throughout the conflict, the US has fast-tracked weapons and armaments to Israel’s military and provided a diplomatic shield for Israel at the United Nations, where Washington blocked several early attempts to pass a resolution calling for a ceasefire.
The US also provides Israel with $3.8bn in military aid each year.
During his RNC speech, Donald Trump’s only remark on Gaza was the bold yet ridiculous claim that the war never would have happened if he were still president… a war which has been going on since long before Trump was even born. Or maybe he was referring to just the conflict in Gaza, which seems to have really began in 1948 with the invasion of Israeli forces while little Donny was two years of age.
So basically we have one side talking about the need to try and end the war, and the other side not willing to say anything at all about it. Why isn’t anyone outraged by Republican’s total apathy (other than voting in complete support of funding) towards this conflict?
It’s the god-damned DNC - of course they’re not going to mention Gaza. One would have to be a fucking moron to expect Gaza to be mentioned.
