[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’m just criticizing China because they are ML. And they don’t care about genocide when it doesn’t make the US look bad.
It’s not a distraction, it’s a direct comment to OP.
It probably would have been good to address them by name to avoid confusion.
See that still looks like trying to avoid admitting usa is helping Israel commit a genocide.
While also ignoring all evidence specifically in a thread about how the usa is supporting the genocide.
The US is complicit. For sure. But people who simp for China and want half of the world to be reduced to rubble in its own perfectly acceptable western genocide are disgusting and hypocritical.
It’s perfectly fine to discuss this in this thread, as it is relevant to the broader topic. Have you always stayed on topic? (Checks) nope. You just want to shut me down.
Yes how dare people point out hypocrisy.
How dare people not want their country to continue to bomb children.
Ah so its not at all about whats happening and is just a scenario you’ve come up with. I see there’s really no point continuing when this is all just for you to complain as others have deduced.
China frequently criticizes Israel, and has flown aid directly into Palestine. They’re a non-interventionalist nation, and have their own issues to work through, especially with the trade war ramping up and risks of a potential hot war. You want them to get themselves cut off from the global economy by attacking Israel or something?
No I think the EU should do it, as they are part of NATO. That’s the message that needs to be sent. Which I think won’t ever happen.
You might wanna check for a source on that though. While China has supplied aid in the form of money and supplies which have reached Gaza through Egypt (Rafah crossing). They have not landed a plane or airdropped anything into Gaza or the broader Palestine areas. There were a few social media claims, but they aren’t real.
So you’d rather have EU declare war on the usa?
