Bernie Sanders May 08, 2025

[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.” "

    I have no problem with China—just hypocritical ML

    You mean you support China’s genocide of Uyghurs? You’re consistent, I guess.

            I’d like to talk about the people who actively assist netanyahu with his genocide, since that’s what the thread is about.

            You only brought up China as a distraction until I started talking about the genocide they were directly involved in. Then for some reason you don’t want to talk about them. Then again, you made it clear that you have no problem with genocidal China, just people to your left on the internet.

                Ok. So anyone who is upset about the US’ complicity in the genocide in Gaza but doesn’t talk about China instead must be a tankie and therefore to your right?

                  If that’s the take you want to have for the purpose of arguing online, I can’t stop you. I understand you can only see in black and white.
