“What has it come to when you are booing Oxfam?” — Mehdi Hasan, at Munk Debates Apparently, Toronto Jews largely support Israel’s holocaust in Gaza. Many also claim victimhood while being amongst the best-off ethnic/religious communities in Canada’s largest city. A genocidal crowd turned out to view...

Rescue teams have recovered at least 32 bodies from the rubble of the destroyed school with more victims expected
Nationalist Israelis are expected to march through Jerusalem’s Muslim Quarter today, despite the carnage in Gaza.
I haven't read the plan but I suspect it's going to be very one-sided. Also the reason the Biden administration is trying now is because it suddenly occurs to them supporting genocide is not a great way to get elected.
Israel is a client state, Russia is a rival state
Probably more bullshit, but fingers crossed.
“Around two-thirds of voters (67%) — including majorities of Democrats (77%), Independents (69%), and Republicans (56%) — support the US calling for a permanent ceasefire and a de-escalation of violence in Gaza.” The news media are shaped by, and shape public opinion. In the case of Israel’s war on Gaza, media outlets appear to be starkly out of step with the American public.
I have taken pains to point out that Zionism does not equate Judaism. Three of the men from whom I have learned the most about this conflict are all Jewish, Noam Chomsky, Norman Finkelstein and Ilan Pappé.
The US is the worlds only remaining superpower. Biden picks up the phone calls Netanyahu and says we are sending in trucks. You will not impede them, or we will set your economy on fire. He hangs up the phone and the trucks begin to roll. It's that simple.
If it's worth noting, you should cite sources.
Israel’s formal position is not the elimination of Palestinian Arabs.
The UN has found credible evidence to the contrary

Zionism was from the very beginning a settler colonial enterprise. Yes genocidal attitudes towards Jews may have been used to promote the idea, but the end goal was always possession of land.
In its initial stage, Zionism was conceived by its pioneers as a movement wholly depending on mechanical factors: there is a country which happens to be called Palestine, a country without a people, and, on the other hand, there exists the Jewish people, and it has no country. What else is necessary, then, than to fit the gem into the ring, to unite this people with this country? The owners of the country [the Turks] must, therefore, be persuaded and convinced that this marriage is advantageous, not only for the [Jewish] people and for the country, but also for themselves.

The difference is that Israel is considered an occupying power and has responsibilities under international law as such.
YES!!!! It feels like I'm losing my mind trying to explain this to people, but this is exactly the right thing to do. It's the only solution that makes any sense at all.
The reason we don't build and maintain cities via airlift is because it's very expensive and very inefficient. The US should demand Israel allows truck transport in and out of Gaza.
Shouldn't be difficult to understand. If the main concern was saving Palestinian lives, the first thing to do would be stop providing bombs to Israel. You'll notice that's not even on the table.
Rabbi Eliyahu Mali and his Yeshiva are sponsored by Benjamin Netanyahu’s government
Yes it is, but actually doing some thing and staging some Hollywood air drop nonsense are two different things.
They're doing it because voters in Michigan and to a lesser extent in other states are refusing to vote for Biden. This has very little to do with preventing Palestinian deaths.
Children are starving to death, how many more will die before this pier gets built?
Hamas who walked away from the peace talks because Israel wouldn’t agree to the destruction of Israel?

No it isn't. People are starving to death and the best they can come up with is to parachute 30,000 meals to 1 million people? I'll ask you again how many weeks would it take to provide one meal to each of the over 1 million people there? Does that seem even remotely efficient to you?
Children are starving to death and genocide Joe is providing political theater.
I find it truly amazing that brain dead liberals actually believe air lifting food is a viable alternative to opening the roads and sending in convoys of trucks. Do you understand they delivered just 30,000 meals in one week? Now do you also understand there are over 1 million people waiting for food. Do the math, how many weeks would it take provide 1 million people with one meal?
