Trump Says ‘a Lot of People Are Starving’ in Gaza and the U.S. Wants to Help
Humanitarian support has collapsed in the enclave, which has been under total Israeli blockade for more than two months. Aid groups warn that the territory is on the brink of famine.


This. We spend so much money funding Israel while we cut off funding on foreign aid to nearly every country of the world. You need to call your Congressperson/write the President and say that allowing the USA to pay for Israel tanks, while starving Palestinian children to death is not OK.

Try again. I’m not religious, let alone in a cult, but my grandparents survived a REAL genocide so maybe I see things differently from you.


Those who survived that genocide and are still alive are also calling this what it is—a genocide. Jewish people do not own the word. It's defined as the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group. Please tell me how this is not a genocide?

Israeli leaders have referred to Palestinians as animals. They have been quite open about their intent to "erase Gaza." Why do you continue to deny what can very plainly be seen?


Except that’s not what’s happening. Palestinians aren’t being rounded up and killed because they are Arab; they’re dying because there’s a war going on that they started. These are ethnically the same kind of people, unlike their terrorist brethren, who can live peacefully in Israel, are elected in government, vote freely, etc. If there was a genocide going on, wouldn’t the Israelis have rounded up and/or murdered all the Palestinians who live peacefully within Israel?

It looks really bad when even the former Israeli prime Minister Ehud Olmert is calling out the government on war crimes.

"It's totally intolerable, unacceptable and unforgivable, it needs to be stopped right away."

"We have to provide all of the humanitarian needs of the population. We can't allow morally the beginning of famine in Gaza. That has to stop."

Why can't Israel stop committing a genocide? Germany and Japan did after WWII, why can't Israel?


Want to know about a real genocide? Make friends with a Rwandan over the age of 40 and they’ll enlighten you.

Hamas openly hates gays and women’s rights and cheers for terrorism against Americans and uses civilians as human shields in its unwinnable war. That’s really who you want to support?

I don’t want children or the elderly starving either. They wouldn’t be if Hamas hadn’t started this nightmare.

And I can point you to experts who disagree.

Terrorist Hamas, surrender and your people won’t keep dying. It’s as easy as that.

No, it’s not. Israel has been killing Palestinians since its founding in 1948.

Ms Rachel, who was declared anti-semite of the week last month, did a nice interview on Zeteo speaking up on the suffering and starvation of Gaza's children.

NP. Zionism ≠ Religious.

Zionism is a hateful ideology of ethnic supremacy, entitlement, and violence.

The only people who appear to deny that a genocide is occurring are zionists. It is not a matter of "seeing things differently" - you either have the lens of humanity, or you don't. There are a growing contingent of Jews who still have a lens of humanity.

Exactly, differently because you're a Zionist so Palestinian lives are meaningless. Do you also espouse the unhinged genocidal rhetoric of Isreali government politicians like Ben Gavir, Smotrich, and Netanyahu?

The USA is the country that can exert pressure on Israel to let in humanitarian aid since we spend billions in tax payer dollars each year supporting Israel with military aid. Sounds like Trump *might* be willing to do that?

Collective punishment is a war crime.

Your fixation on Jewish suffering as the sole genocide is myopic. The relentless bombings of Gaza, starvation tactics, and mass displacement scream genocide by any objective measure. Drop the selective lens and face the evidence: thousands dead, infrastructure obliterated, lives erased.


That is what happens when you pledge allegiance to an ideology that promotes racism and dehumanization of Palestinians. Bottom line is that Palestinian life doesn't matter.
