          People are starving and Isreal is blocking humanitarian aide. If only a quarter of this aide gets to civilians it’ll be worth it.

            I don’t disagree, but others have tried to assist with aid and it has just been kept in stockpiles, not even making it to the people.

            It’s just so exhausting.

                The most recent reporting is from NBC. Don’t assume I support this insanity, saying it’s not getting past the border already shows me you’re unfamiliar with the geography.

                    No, the Israeli’s are very familiar with the territory.

                    Please don’t take my arrogance as taking a side. Most Israeli’s do not support this and are doing what they can to remove Netanyahu from power.

                    World politics are in a really fucked up place right now, there around a handful of additional genocides as we speak/type (Uyghers, Manipur, Syria, Armenians, and Ukraine) all while the Nazi party has fully established in Italy to further the pursuit of Mussolini’s goals???

                    World powers are demonstrating how much they really don’t care about any of us - but what options are available to us when we’ve empowered governments with a massive supply of bodies to fulfill their game of chess?

                    Instead of watching the kids fight on the playground, read the political room.
