Israeli forces fired on a United Nations convoy carrying vital food supplies in central Gaza on February 5, before ultimately blocking the trucks from progressing to the northern part of the territory, where Palestinians are on the verge of famine, according to documents shared exclusively by the UN and CNN’s own analysis.
Why the hell are the World presidents not doing anything against this?
While I’m no scholar, I really think it’s a geo-political issue. If the West doesn’t support Israel, then Russia will and gain considerable power in the Middle East. It’s the only reason I can think of. Any one have any ideas?
I don’t know that it matters anymore. This so clearly breaks with stated American values that’s it’s now just a matter of time before we break ties with Israel. I’m willing to bet the Russians and Chinese are already setting up shop there.
Russia and China have both condemned Israel’s genocide of Palestinians and called for ceasefires. On the other hand, the US is actively funding the genocide. That’s US values.
Yeah I get that. And there’s going to be an internal reckoning over those values too. You can’t tell entire generations of people that we’re the good guys and genocide is a bad guy thing and not have a consequence.
This is literally the doing of a tiny group of Americans that can’t really be touched until this upcoming November. I’m partially just sitting here in horror watching Biden shoot himself in the foot repeatedly.
And while Russia and China have made statements condemning Israel, if we managed to convince Biden to cut them loose, they’d be there in an instant. It’s all an influence game.
Russia is more or less openly supporting Hamas and China is choosing a transparent and clumsy policy of endearing themselves with the global South by only condemning Israel and not even mentioning Hamas. Neither nation should be admired for what they are doing.
