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.

    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.
