Aid ‘still not reaching Gaza’, as top US official warns famine has started ( www.theguardian.com )

However, truck owners involved in the food deliveries, mostly Egyptian hauliers, are reluctant to let their vehicles be used inside Gaza for fear of them bombed or ransacked by starving Gazans. There is also a shortage of willing drivers after repeated incidents of aid trucks coming under fire, of which the WCK bombing has been the worst but far from an isolated incident.

The planned coordination centre, whenever it is finished, may not be sufficient to address this fundamental obstacle to delivering food, as long as much of Gaza is a free fire zone, aid workers argue.

By facilitating genocide in Gaza, supporting Russian invasions and encouraging pollution that heats the planet, conservatives are killing off the planet's most vulnerable people. Conservatism will continue to kill as many people as possible for as long as possible. Conservatives are a cancer to humanity.

There is a treatment for this cancer, but it is not to be spoken of in polite company.

What a dumb take. I'm not a pacifist. I believe there's a time and a place for violent resistence. But if you think it's appropriate to go around killing people for bad-think, you're just as evil as anything you're fighting against.

what's Hamas doing to try to get aid in there, anything? because i don't think Hamas or Iran gives a shit about the people of Gaza either..

juicy OP ,

There is nothing Hamas could possibly do to bring in aid. In case you didn't notice, Israel controls the entire circumference of Gaza and outguns Hamas by 100 to 1. Israel and their enablers bear total responsibility for this slow motion catastrophe.

There is reprieve. It just involves us protesting right outside the white house relentlessly. We all must also write our representatives each day.

Lastly, I cannot stress this enough, military contractors and all other forms of lobbying need to be removed and made illegal like the bribery they are.

I don't know if we'll ever unravel why we can't call genocide just that, and save the people clearly being annihilated. But I know we never will if we don't try.

I don't live in D.C., I couldn't afford to move there just to protest, and I have responsibilities where I live, such as a family.

My representative is Larry Buschon. He couldn't give less of a fuck what any of his constituents think.

Cool, I'm sure congress will get right on that.

juicy OP ,

The only way Biden will care about Gaza is if he believes it could cost him the election in November. All the people who say we must vote for Biden no matter what are undermining the only leverage we have to end this before hundreds of thousands of innocent people die before our eyes.
