Pay no attention to the millions of starving children....
Biden couldn't even wait for congress to ban aid to Gaza, he had to go around them and do it by executive order so the forced famine could get started.
Fuck any politicians who take AIPAC money to support a genocide.
UNWRA losing funding is catastrophic, they were one of the only functioning aid groups in Gaza and the Biden administrator just tossed them in the dumpster as soon as Israel made a lazy, unsourced claim about a couple of employees who supposedly had connections to Hamas (that UNWRA immediately fired after the baseless accusations were made anyways).
It’s too bad genocide Joe can’t get it through his head that he is directly enabling mass murder. I love when he airdropped supplies into Gaza, I can’t imagine a more humiliating way to avoid the question of why an ally of the US won’t let the US deliver aid to an ongoing genocide with ….trucks …….on pre-existing roads…..
Why did you have to airdrop the aid into Gaza, Biden? Who is stopping you from loading up a bunch of cheap, normal trucks and just driving them into Gaza to directly deliver aid? Why won’t you do anything about the people who are forcing you to deliver aid to a mass starvation event via airdrops?

That article gives a good overview since you seem to have missed it. I know there's a lot going on, but this is important so it's worth catching up on.
sigh the truth is exhaustingly awful
