He signed an executive order on Thursday, saying violence had reached "intolerable levels".

The sanctions will block the individuals from accessing all US property and other assets.

What scrambles my brain is he won't even do the most basic shit. Like okay Gazans are starving because Aid is being blocked. Why aren't we tying our weapons deliveries to the flow of Aid?

Even if you believe the IDF is the most moral military on the planet (laugh, snort) this is an obvious measure to make sure there isn't a famine. And the IDF could have pretended they did it willingly if they had done this in December when we knew it was a problem!

But nope. Is there a Biden pee tape? What in the actual hell is going on?

Because the point of the weapons delivers is to kill Gazans, not save them. This isn't a bug, its a feature. Genocide and permanent depopulation of Arabs in the Gaza strip is the entire purpose of this military operation.

Biden has been an Israel die-hard since the 70s and he's only grown more intractable with age.

Ugh, I want to puke. This isn't the country I grew up in, but apparently it was.

He scratched the back of the Jewish community enough to be able to argue for their vote. Now he's got to contend with all the people that actually don't want The US to support Israeli genocide against Palestine. Politicians be politicking.

The Zionist Jewish community isn't integral to his re-election.

Just to clarify, until the suspension of funding, the US was giving aid.

Just not to the Palestinian government. It is illegal for a president to give aid directly to a terrorist state.

Lmaololololololol.

UNRWA couldn't get any aid into Gaza. The IDF has been blocking them. Talking about payments to buy food is useless if the food cannot be delivered.

GTFO here with the third deliberately stupid take I've seen you publish today.

[–] bramblepatchmystery@slrpnk.net -5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

We can agree that the Palestininian's need food absolutely.

But blocking an organization.after that organization was involved in.a terror attack seems a bit obvious doesn't it?

But let me guess, it's also Israel's fault that UNRWA allowed themselves to be infiltrated, isn't it?

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

We cut off UNRWA at the mere accusation they had some employees that were involved, not leadership or the organization at large.

But we continue to support Israel through what amounts to hundreds of credible accusations and statements by their leadership showing this is on purpose.

Make that make sense.
