    Israel is intentionally blocking aid into Gaza. Hamas has nothing to do with it. The termination of USAID also has nothing to do with it. Aid trucks are stuck at the border not allowed in.

    FYI I voted for Jill Stein. No Democrat, at least on my ballot was going to defund Israel.

    Edit: I missed adding that the Biden administration already cut funding to the UNRWA, so starving Palestinians is bipartisan:

      The president does not authorize spending. He just executes the spending. Congress has power of purse, they are the only ones that can cut funding for Isreal. Which i fully support. I would be happy to cut aid to isreal and increase aid to palestine. Happy to help protect palestinian land from Isreali encroachment. I am an ally you are alienating with your harsh views. We probably agree on a lot of things that would benefit palestine. I think without a practical method to acheive them you will never see your goals fullfilled politically.

      Mostly because you voted third party for president not knowing that you meant to vote for congress.

      Oh. You voted for a different Putin puppet whose post has made no attempt to run a real campaign in the US and clearly (and vocally) had no intent on winning. Very helpful.
