The top U.S. official working on the humanitarian situation in Gaza told aid groups in August that the U.S. would not consider withholding weapons from Israel for blocking food and medicine from entering the enclave — a rare admission by someone in the administration.
At the Aug. 29 meeting in Washington, Lise Grande told the leaders of more than a dozen aid organizations that the U.S. could potentially consider other tactics to convince Israel to allow life-saving aid into Gaza — such as applying pressure through the United Nations, but stressed that the administration would continue to support Israel and would not delay or stop weapons shipments.
“What would you do different than Joe Biden?” Kamala, “there’s not a thing that comes to mind.”
“How do you plan on solving the situation in the Middle East?” Kamala, “Israel has a right to defend itself. We will always have their back.”
“What do think about Dick Cheney endorsing you?” Kamala, “I’m honored to have the endorsement of Dick Cheney. He’s a well respected leader.”
I sense you’re trying to spin this in favor of one presidential candidate over the over.
Fuck Trump and all his MAGAts for a million reasons.
When it comes to Israel, they own the leadership of the WH, the HOR, the senate and the MOD, regardless of political affiliation. USA (and most of Europe) is currently Israel’s bitch, regardless of who’s supposedly at the wheel.
They didn’t even mention Trump? I don’t think anyone is under the illusion that Trump would be better on Israel, that doesn’t mean we can’t criticise Democrats for their policies.
I agree fuck Trump and his MAGA cult for a million reasons, but also fuck Harris and her establishment cult for thousands of reasons. If she wants the vote from the people saying enough is enough, then she can earn it. She should stop blaming everyone else, stop sending out Obama to say black men are chauvinistic, stop parading around with the Cheney’s and praising war criminals, and to focus on the American people and what Americans want.
