(24,438 posts)Israel is bombing Gaza almost daily and the people there are wasting away dying of disease and lack of food.
The world is distracted with Iran and now Lebanon, but the people of Gaza have gotten almost no relief and are hanging on by a thread.
The Free Gaza movement in the US was a political football that has been abandoned now that it serves no political use for the Right. The people who were there before the the 2024 election are still there, but the paid rabble rousers are gone and the media attention is nowhere. But it will still be useful to the Right this election, so we'll hear more then. I see it on Reddit all the time, so called liberals who won't support candidates because they support Israel with little nuance into the fact that the GOP candidate will support the total eradication of Gaza.

I think most voters of good conscience see that.

(24,438 posts)Israel under Netanyahu cannot be trusted with the immense resources we provide to them because it creates too large of a power imbalance in the region. Israel doesnt negotiate peace because it can just kill its enemies without any real threat of a response exacting a proportional death toll for them. They kill and violate international law with impunity right now, so why would they want peace?
Let them go it alone is my opinion. We get nothing from them worth anything anymore. And our support of their military assaults prevent us from making peace with our adversaries.

(15,879 posts)Of course, that won't happen while Republicans control Congress and the White House.
In fact, I question whether that would happen if Democrats controlled both.

(4,415 posts)Anyone who doesn't see that hasn't come to terms yet with the true meaning and consequences of "unwavering" and "ironclad" support - by both parties.
Gaza started in Warsaw.

(15,879 posts)Perhaps the former victims need some introspection on its meaning, as applied to people other than themselves.
From one Ghetto to another. Uprising and genocide.
Thanks for the insight.
