“Germany carried out horrific war crimes after it invaded its neighbors, but the genocidal Allied bombing resulted in 700,000 German civilian deaths and turned German cities into rubble. Peace should have been pursued through diplomacy, not war crimes.”
False Equivalence
Fellow Democrats,
You know how frustrating it is when Republicans flatten complex issues like abortion into talking points? That is exactly what the fringe left is doing right now with starvation in Gaza.
You deserve to understand the truth. It is complicated, it is painful, and it matters.
No, Israel is not intentionally starving Palestinians. What is happening is a flawed attempt to create a new, more secure aid distribution system. It is failing right now, and that failure must be called out. But let’s not mistake growing pains for intent.
For decades, aid in Gaza has been administered by UNRWA, a UN agency created in 1949. Over time, it has become deeply entangled with Hamas. They hire the same people. They store weapons in schools. They produce educational materials that teach children to hate Jews. They hide terror tunnels, and evidence shows some members helped plan and even participate in the atrocities of October 7th.
UNRWA has also enabled Hamas to divert humanitarian aid, strengthening their grip on power and prolonging the conflict.
If you genuinely care about peace and Palestinian lives, you should be demanding an independent aid agency that gets food, water, and medicine to civilians without empowering terrorists.
That is what the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) is trying to do. But the UN refuses to work with them. Why? Because they want UNRWA reinstated, even though it has been infiltrated by Hamas at every level. Hamas has gone so far as to say they will not agree to a ceasefire unless UNRWA is allowed back in.
That is not humanitarianism. That is blackmail.
Does this mean Israel is handling the situation well? Absolutely not. Netanyahu’s government owns the failure of the current plan. They should never have started this transition if they were not prepared to execute it without the UN.
But let’s be clear. Israel is not trying to starve people. It is trying, badly, to prevent a future where Hamas uses humanitarian aid to rearm and reassert control.
When I see Democrats like @SenWarren repeating the claim that there are 6,000 aid trucks ready to go, I am stunned. That is not true. What is true is that the old system is ready to hand that aid directly to Hamas again. That is what Warren is advocating, whether she realizes it or not.
It breaks my heart to see Democrats pushing for a return to a status quo where terrorists control the flow of food.
Israel needs to do better, and fast. They must get food into Gaza now. But in the long term, this shift away from terrorist-controlled aid is the right goal.
Let’s have the courage to hold both truths at once - that people are suffering, and that Hamas cannot be trusted with distributing humanitarian aid. If we are going to stand for peace, we need to start by standing for truth.
I’m excited to share new work from Datadog AI Research! We just released Toto, a new SOTA (by a wide margin!) time series foundation model, and BOOM, the largest benchmark of observability metrics. Both are available under the Apache 2.0 license. 🧵

Remember when the UN called for a ceasefire for Ramadan?
Tomorrow night begins Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, and the High Holidays. The holiest part of the Jewish year.
Where are the calls for ceasefire now, as the Islamic Republic in Iran prepares to attack Israel?
Watch as all of the terrorist apologists who claim Israel is conducting genocide are silent as Iran launches hundreds of missiles at Israel into heavily populated civilian areas.
Israel should and will always have the right to defend itself
When Haniyeh was assassinated there were screeches condemning Israel because of how this might impact ceasefire negotiations.
There isn’t a word from these same people about how Hamas murdering six innocent civilian hostages will impact these negotiations.
How interesting.
Is there a good reason why e-commerce companies send tracking number alerts before items actually ship? So the status shows nothing for hours and sometimes days?
@jwegener I would report to Google if you haven’t already. They used to have an effective community moderated request thing but not sure they do anymore. I will send to someone I know who works on Google maps.
@jasonlk Asana has become so bloated and expensive it's hard to believe anyone still uses it. I've switched to a new tool which is obsessed with simplicity - @Flat_App (https://t.co/e1v1zrDM2Y).
Data:
Since Oct 7th, Hezbollah shot at Israel 19,000 (!) rockets and 150 UAVs. Israeli northern region is under heavy bombardment, something you probably did not hear or see in news coverage around the world.
