According to a food survey conducted by humanitarian aid groups in May, 85 percent of children under 5 were deprived of food at least one day over a three day period. Official death counts reported by Gaza’s government do not include deaths by starvation; at least 30 children have been recorded starving to death in Gaza so far.
Since May 6, when Israel seized and closed the main humanitarian aid crossing into Gaza, only about eight trucks of aid have entered on average each day — or about 1 percent of the 500 to 600 trucks that the UN has said need to enter each day in order to meet Palestinians’ needs.
Two weeks ago, the UN reported that its food and tent storage warehouses in Gaza are empty because of Israel’s blockade; now, families are reporting having to pay $700 just for a basic tent that they would then have to pitch in cemeteries due to overcrowding.
Over a million people have fled Rafah as Israel carries out its invasion, fleeing to nearby Khan Younis, Al-Mawasi and Deir al-Balah, Oxfam reports. As a result, two-thirds of Gaza’s population, or 1.7 million people, have now been forced into an area that’s less than one-fifth of the area of the Gaza strip — an area that Israeli forces have been bombing anyway, despite declaring it to be a safe zone.
Please do tell how much morally superior Biden is in supporting Genocide than Trump. Those Biden red lines are truly awesome.
I did. Get a clue and realize that even though you are sheltered by mommy and daddy’s money it is going to be worse for everyone else. Or continue urging people to do the same thing the Republicans are urging them to do while pretending you’re on the right side. Up to you.
Imagine the Nazis going “You dont support Hitler, which means you are spoilt by mommy and daddy’s money”.
You are so privileged that you are able to say both sides are the same, and, holy fuck, pretend that Dems are the Hitler out of the two available choices. Just unbelievably privileged. Must be nice.
Thank you for this entire exchange. I didn’t have the energy that’s for sure.
It truly is exhausting to see them so delusional. There is no explanation other than bad faith authoritarian influence. The only question is if they are one of the sources of the bad faith or actually foolish enough to believe any of it.
