History will not forgive our complicity. The time is long overdue for us to end our support for Netanyahu’s destruction of the Palestinian people.

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.” "

      Before you continue engaging, I suggest having a look at their comment history, unless you’re just enjoying taking the piss out of them. Our lad’s primary mode of communication is deflection.

      You did not say yes or no. You said why wouldn’t you? And I can think of a number of reasons why you might not but I don’t know you… So I’m going to give you the opportunity to answer that question to be very clear with your opinions so I do not put words in your mouth.

        You did not say yes or no.

        And you didn’t say verbatim that netanyahu was committing genocide. So until you say that netanyahu is committing genocide, don’t talk to me.

            Who is? What is he doing? You can’t say that netanyahu is committing genocide, can you? My answer wasn’t enough for you. If you want me to dance, you dance first.

                  Because you can’t admit there is Muslim genocide around the world. Because that genocide doesn’t involve the US, and, proving my entire original comment correct: you don’t give a shit about genocide when it doesn’t make the US look bad.

                  Thanks for proving me right this entire time. You might have had me dance, but I got your number, lol

                  Byyyeeeee

                    You read a lot into my refusal to answer your question a second time. Believe what you want; at least you’re no longer trying to deflect.
