“Israel MUST open the borders and allow the United Nations to deliver supplies in sufficient quantities.”

“The United States, which has helped fund the Israeli military for years, cannot sit back and allow hundreds of thousands of innocent children to starve to death,” Sanders (Vt.) said in a statement. “As a result of Israeli bombing and restrictions on humanitarian aid, the people of Gaza are facing an unprecedented humanitarian disaster.”

Israeli forces have killed more than 30,200 Palestinians in Gaza—most of them women and children—while wounding over 71,300 others and displacing around 90% of the besieged enclave’s 2.3 million people. Children are now starving to death, and experts say adults, especially elders and other vulnerable people, will soon follow absent urgent intervention.

        It doesn’t appear they’re going to stop willingly. We went to war to stop Nazi Germany.

          America went to war because Japan bombed them, they were A-OK with Germany’s genocide until they were actually pulled into it.

          This is not an argument against intervening in Israel’s genocide, just a note on historical accuracy

            I meant “we” more referring to the Allied forces going to war against Nazi Germany’s invasions of Poland, France, etc., like Israel’s invasion of Gaza.

            But yeah, nobody cared about the genocide when it was domestic to Germany.
