The top U.S. official working on the humanitarian situation in Gaza told aid groups in August that the U.S. would not consider withholding weapons from Israel for blocking food and medicine from entering the enclave — a rare admission by someone in the administration.

At the Aug. 29 meeting in Washington, Lise Grande told the leaders of more than a dozen aid organizations that the U.S. could potentially consider other tactics to convince Israel to allow life-saving aid into Gaza — such as applying pressure through the United Nations, but stressed that the administration would continue to support Israel and would not delay or stop weapons shipments.

      “What would you do different than Joe Biden?” Kamala, “there’s not a thing that comes to mind.”

      “How do you plan on solving the situation in the Middle East?” Kamala, “Israel has a right to defend itself. We will always have their back.”

      “What do think about Dick Cheney endorsing you?” Kamala, “I’m honored to have the endorsement of Dick Cheney. He’s a well respected leader.”

        I sense you’re trying to spin this in favor of one presidential candidate over the over.

        Fuck Trump and all his MAGAts for a million reasons.

        When it comes to Israel, they own the leadership of the WH, the HOR, the senate and the MOD, regardless of political affiliation. USA (and most of Europe) is currently Israel’s bitch, regardless of who’s supposedly at the wheel.

          They didn’t even mention Trump? I don’t think anyone is under the illusion that Trump would be better on Israel, that doesn’t mean we can’t criticise Democrats for their policies.

          I agree fuck Trump and his MAGA cult for a million reasons, but also fuck Harris and her establishment cult for thousands of reasons. If she wants the vote from the people saying enough is enough, then she can earn it. She should stop blaming everyone else, stop sending out Obama to say black men are chauvinistic, stop parading around with the Cheney’s and praising war criminals, and to focus on the American people and what Americans want.

      We get the sweat off of netenyahus balls, and Biden/Harris/Trump gets paid for it, and we get… nothing? I dont like this arrangement, but I guess we have to vote for Harris or Trump and have no choices?

        You could work to dismantle the system. Heck, if people had joined the uncommitted movement instead of attacking it for their establishment overlords, the Democratic party could have been pushed to offer a candidate against genocide and for genuine social policies.

        But people let themselves get gaslighted and happily rallied around their party leaders, despite getting fucked by them.

          I mean I’m not getting fucked by Harris but I would be killed by trump. Once Harris is in im still going to be pushing the US to tell Israel to fuck off.

          I’m with you-- thats currently my plan, voting uncommitted in the general unless Harris stops the weapons before election day. Its about the smallest thing I could ask for and still ask for anything at all. I fear that all future US elections will all be manipulated to follow this pattern and itll be tough to break out of.

    Man, there’s gotta be something more to this.

    Remember all that fuss about how a retired general said that the U.S. and other governments have crashed alien ships they’ve been studying? Does isreal have, like, the least damaged ships or something? Like, wtf does isreal possibly have that the U.S. is so beholden to it? It just can’t be that isreal “is a historically important religious site,” because that’s just stupid. We don’t spend Billions of dollars a year to maintain the fucking Vatican, and we certainly wouldn’t while it’s actively engaging in genocide and aparthied. So why are we doing it for isreal?

    Gotta be aliens.

    Can we get like a list on the countries that are so close allies that they’re able to commit genocide at will? Like I’m curious who makes the cut. Like you got to think France and the UK, Germany? Do the krauts get to burn children alive? Japan?

    but stressed that the administration would continue to support Israel and would not delay or stop weapons shipments.

    Hoping that this is one area that Harris/Walz will distinguish from Biden’s admin in.
