    This was a bad idea along with the airdrops. All because Biden is unwilling to pressure Netanyahu publicly or set any red lines. So now he’s trying to scramble to give aid to one and bombs to another rather than do the simpler move of reigning one side in and allowing them to send in aid. International law says that Israel is required to allow this aid in or help, and they are doing neither.

      Yeah this seems crazy. We should just require Israel to set forth and protect a humanitarian corridor. We have a ton of leverage against Israel.

      Because they are Muslim and brown. The US doesn’t have a stellar reputation of being kind to brown people. So no wonder we are quicker providing bombs for Israel then we are on giving aid to Gaza.

      If not voting Biden didn’t give us Trump (who be 1000% worse) then I would do anything I could to make sure Biden loses in November. But nope I live here and have to hold my nose and vote Biden even though he a terrible human and fucking bad president.
