Israel’s war in Gaza has brought famine with “such incredible speed,” the United Nations’ emergency relief chief told CNN on Monday, as he warned that hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are starving in the besieged enclave.
Yes? They’ve been pushing for “pauses” (can’t call it a cease fire, too unpopular I guess) in fighting and to get through Israel’s blockade to get more humanitarian relief to Gaza for months now. You could argue not forcefully enough (I would, though who knows what goes on privately in diplomatic negotiations), but blaming Biden for the blockade is just misinformation.
The United States has contributed at least an additional $121 million in funding and humanitarian supplies since October. Probably much more in actuality since many of the UN relief agencies with boots on the ground are heavily funded by the US.
Attack the US all you want on continuing to allow weapon sales to Israelis and other misdeeds, but you don’t need go over the top and start introducing misinformation as well. There’s enough they do wrong to attack them on without making up new stuff as well.
And your US defending the red sea to get more weapons to Israel doesn’t even make sense. Weapons from the US and Europe have a much more direct path than going all the way around the cape of good hope and then the horn of Africa. If you need a more real politik reason besides the obvious ones like the US doesn’t like threats to the global economy, a more likely reason would be the houthis targeting all oil freighters except Russia’s, oil that will become more valuable if other sources are shut down and help fund the war against Ukraine.
You didn’t read my comment did you? Because nothing you posted disproves what was in my comment or argues against it in anyway. My comment was about the United States’ actions and all you’ve posted about is what Israel is doing, which I’m not in disagreement with you on. I just disagree with your bizarre assertion that the Biden amdin is somehow responsible for Israel’s blockades in aid, when in actuality they’ve been publically urging Israel to allow additional aid through for months. And prior to the war even beginning, the Biden admin restored Palestinian aid that had previously been stripped by Trump. And everything I wrote in my comment is clearly sourced and proveable regardless. But yeah not commenting again, since you couldn’t be bothered to even read the comment, or did but jusy decided to talk past it. Plenty to criticize America or Biden over without making up lies too.
Oh look it’s an article about how the Biden admin imposed a blockade on Palestine! Wait, it’s not, because that never happened, if anything it’s quite the opposite, and you lied or misspoke and just won’t own up to it. So you are changing the subject to something else, again. I’m done.

Prior to any of this Biden restored funding for Palestinians that had been cut by Trump.
