At least 57 Palestinians have starved to death in Gaza as Israel’s punishing blockade of food, water, and other critical aid to the besieged enclave stretches into its third month amid relentless bombardment.

Gaza’s Government Media Office said on Saturday that most of the victims were children, as well as the sick and elderly, condemning the “continued use of food by the Israeli occupation as a weapon of war” and urging the international community to exert pressure on Israel to reopen the borders and allow in aid.

    The Republicans won because some voters put the interests of a foreign nation above their own country and now the genocide is coming home.

      The problems with Israel extend well past the Middle East. Our government has been infiltrated, compromised, and there are attacks on 1A-protected free speech.

      This is absolutely a problem for Americans.

        Ya, thanks for supporting the Republicans.

          Nope. I voted for Harris/Walz.

          But you can recognize a problem and call out your side’s bullshit while still opposing the other side. That might be a bit nuanced for you though.

            >Continuously attacking the DNC, while ignoring the RNC.

            I voted for Harris/Walz.

            Sure, buddy. And I’m a Mossad Agent /s

      I would hardly say wanting the democrats to stop enabling and supporting genocide to be in the interests of a foreign nation. Maybe in the interest of decency or of humanity in general.

      Whatever way you frame it, the democrates ignored their voters, betraying them to instead do the bidding of the state of Israel.

      They are, in the end, expected to listen to their consituents and not a war mongering genocidal apartheid state.

        Dude, are you not paying attention to who the Republican party heavily supports?

          What does that have to do with demanding change inside the democratic party? I just want the “good guys” (who I’m essentially forced to vote for) to stop supporting genocide.
