Sen. Sanders: Many in Congress seem happy to be part of the starvation caucus

Gaza is starving. The UN is trying to feed them. Yet many in Congress seem happy to be part of the starvation caucus – more focused on attacking the UN than getting desperately-needed aid to suffering Palestinians.

1. I appreciate that Bernie keeps the Gaza famine in the spotlight.

Maybe the repugs will finally show some empathy and do something.

Warmonger Netanyahu needs to be kicked to the curb by Israel.

[peppertree]

3. For many Republicans, the cruelty is the point

Which is why, as much as they (generally) hate Jews, they love Nuttnyahoo - because he has that uniquely charming combination of sadistic cruelty and total, and in many ways normalized, impunity.

You see this same cheerleading from many other RW authoritarian regimes - which is why Bibi keeps trying to get them elected (or installed).

2. Starving people is slow motion murder by murderers.

The perpetrators dismiss the dead people as "collateral damage".

7. I don't know

I think they'd do it faster if they could get away with it. Sorry, I'm getting really cynical when it comes to Netanyahu.

8. If there was real justice, Netanyahu would be in the dock at the ICC.

I'm more than a little cynical about that ever happening.

[PatSeg]

10. He's gotten away with so much for so long

and often while playing the U.S. for a fool. Meanwhile, the whole world knows who and what he is.

[et tu]

4. u.s. needs to rethink

all of our policies with israel, from funding to bibi's leadership.
change must happen and aid to gaza is pathetically way past due

5. Bernie hones in on the worst and tries to fix it. He reminds people of the worst. He is a downer.

But he is right.

[speak easy]

6. Because Bibi will do whatever Biden says!

What an absolute joke.
