[based on speech given to US Senate]
"Thursday marks 68 days and counting since ANY humanitarian aid was allowed into Gaza. For more than nine weeks, Israel has blocked all supplies: no food, no water, no medicine, and no fuel.
Hundreds of truckloads of lifesaving supplies are waiting to enter Gaza, sitting just across the border, but are denied entry by Israeli authorities.
… Defense Minister Israel Katz said, “Israel’s policy is clear: No humanitarian aid will enter Gaza, and blocking this aid is one of the main pressure levers.” "
I’m just criticizing China because they are ML. And they don’t care about genocide when it doesn’t make the US look bad.
It’s not a distraction, it’s a direct comment to OP.
It probably would have been good to address them by name to avoid confusion.
China frequently criticizes Israel, and has flown aid directly into Palestine. They’re a non-interventionalist nation, and have their own issues to work through, especially with the trade war ramping up and risks of a potential hot war. You want them to get themselves cut off from the global economy by attacking Israel or something?
See that still looks like trying to avoid admitting usa is helping Israel commit a genocide.
While also ignoring all evidence specifically in a thread about how the usa is supporting the genocide.
