A string of security, logistical and weather problems has battered the plan to deliver desperately needed humanitarian aid to Gaza through a U.S. military-built pier.
We wasted months not giving them aid to build this pier…
It cost 320 million dollars, and lasted a fucking week.
And Palestinians are still starving to death.
I legitimately don’t know if it being such a giant waste of time and money was intentional.
With the shit Biden openly says, it’s hard to believe there’s not worse shit he’s managing not to say. If not, isn’t saying whatever horrible pro genocide shit that pops into your head one of the reasons trump is bad?
trump is obviously worse, but running a campaign on that makes a genocide ok won’t get a Dem in office.
Congress voted in favor of munitions aid. The State Department reported inconclusive evidence of war crime. It would be unprecedented for Biden to alter existing contracts without support from one of these branches, and would likely be challenged in the Judiciary Branch in the form of an impeachment hearing for bad faith or personal agenda.
We pay tens of trillions of dollars annually for the most informed State Department in the world. POTUS doesn’t decide based on information outside of our own intelligence, not news, the UN, the ICC, or the ICJ. Biden needs to pressure Blinken for a more thorough investigation, including the most recent “accidents” in civilian occupied areas, to provide a concrete platform for amendment or withdrawal of support.
TL;DR: POTUS doesn’t make decisions on international affairs based on polls.

If the purpose was to bring aid to the Palestinians, they’d just open the border crossing.
Rather, everything we see is consistent trying to create the appearance of doing something to help, but making sure you don’t actually affect the famine.

That’s the most we get these days. With pretty much any topic.
At most we get some breadcrumbs for optics right before elections, but never any real work towards real solutions.
It’s why not paying attention and just voting “blue no matter who” should never be a plan except for one election in a blue moon where something crazy just happened.
This is Trump’s 3rd election now, if the DNC can’t find a good candidate that can beat Trump and give Dem voters what we want, then we need new people running the DNC.
If the DNC won’t change, we need a whole ass new party.
Going along with this bullshit isn’t helping anyone.
The absence of evil isn’t good. It’s just the absence of evil.
We need politicians actually willing to do good things. Hell, it’s not even “absence of evil” the good guys are funding genocides these days.

It’s just “slightly less evil”.
