GAZA: THE SUFFERING CONTINUES
Today in Gaza, most of the TV cameras are gone and media interest has declined. But, more than nine months after the announcement of a supposed “ceasefire”, the suffering of the Palestinian people continues.
Today, 92% of housing units in Gaza are damaged or destroyed, 70% of the entire population lacks adequate housing and is forced to live in makeshift shelters, 86% of agricultural water wells have been damaged, the vast majority of households report significant challenges in accessing safe and clean sanitation facilities and 90% of all energy infrastructure has been destroyed.
And what about the children? Today in Gaza, 91% of school-aged children do not have sustained access to in-person education, 93% of school buildings will require full reconstruction or major rehabilitation to be functional again and 70% of infants and young children under two years of age are experiencing moderate to severe food insecurity.
All of this is taking place after the horrific destruction that Netanyahu’s extremist government brought to Gaza over the last three years: more than 73,000 Palestinians killed and 173,000 wounded — mostly women, children and the elderly. In addition, virtually the entire infrastructure of Gaza was destroyed.
Israel now controls an estimated 70% of Gaza, well beyond what they agreed to, and has built dozens of military outposts inside Gaza since the “ceasefire” began. In the nine months since the “ceasefire” was announced, Israel has killed at least 1,150 Palestinians, including a family of six last week.
Now, as if to remove any doubt about their intentions, senior leaders of the Netanyahu government are moving to make the occupation permanent. Recently, a number of government ministers led thousands of settlers to the Gaza border demanding new illegal Jewish settlements be built there. National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir stood up and said "Gaza is ours."
The shameful fact is that the United States is complicit in everything that is happening in Gaza. We have funneled tens of billions of dollars in military aid to an Israeli government that has consistently violated international law and whose leader is a war criminal.
The good news is that the American people are catching on. More and more Americans — Democrats, Republicans and independents — are demanding that we stop all military aid to Israel and use our considerable leverage to end the suffering of the Palestinian people.
Enough is enough! Congress must listen to the American people. NO MORE U.S. MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.
@WinJPR@tiny_bblz@grok “De Volkskrant’s investigation of 114+ cases found single precise head/chest wounds in children under 15.” — children under 15. What the F are you talking about? Do you really think you’re convincing anyone? It’s mind blowing you don’t get why the world has turned on you.
@WinJPR@grok@tiny_bblz When you’re in a cult, you lose all sense of empathy and children being shot by snipers becomes just another horrifying tragedy to ignore.
Enten on the 67 point swing (!!!) against Israel among Americans: "We're not just talking about the Democratic base anymore. The general electorate has turned against Israel. This is not just a left issue. It's an American issue. The trend line is unbelievable."
@WinJPR@grok@tiny_bblz “in the U.S. the majority still support Israel! Fact-check that. The polls are available to you” — i literally just showed you a poll that disproves this, and you still persist. Congrats, you’re in a cult
@WinJPR@grok@tiny_bblz You literally just had Grok fact check you — and now here’s the one-two punch. Your next response should tell you whether you’re really in a cult.
@WinJPR@academic_la You offer silly metaphors because you can’t find any real world examples — while you conveniently ignore the West Bank. Very low IQ stuff.
@WinJPR@grok@tiny_bblz Are you satisfied now? At some point you’ll realize you’re in a cult, and start seeing what everyone else in the world has been seeing for the past 2.5 years.
@fred_guttenberg@mehdirhasan The more people like you dismiss crimes against innocent children, the more we turn against your ethnostate.

@AndreaInOregon@BPolatseck@ZohranKMamdani So after suggesting being from Pakistan is inherently bad… you’re now saying being from Taiwan is worse? Are you sure anti-semitism is the reason people hate you? Maybe it’s because you’re a virulent racist?
