President Joe Biden and his administration have been accused of being complicit in enabling a famine in Gaza by failing to sufficiently act on repeated warnings from their own experts and aid agencies.

The former officials say the US also provided diplomatic cover for Israel to create the conditions for famine by blocking international efforts to bring about a ceasefire or alleviate the crisis, making the delivery of aid almost impossible.

“This is not just turning a blind eye to the man-made starvation of an entire population, it is direct complicity,” former State Department official Josh Paul, who resigned over US support for the war, told The Independent.

I'm tired, man. People spitting on others during a pandemic, refusing to wear masks spouting bullshit. Trump doing literally nothing except sending us backward leading into it. Anti-vaccine movements pushed by the Right and accepted by idiots who can't critically think to literally save their lives. Biden actually making some headway and not a single individual who hides behind the Gaza conflict can list three things Biden has done well. A god damn coup attempt at our Nation's capital. An entire world begging us to not allow Trump into power.

Just shut up. Fuck

You and people just like you, Trump supporters all. I no longer care. Every single one and I'm calling you out. Gaza is shit. A travesty. It sucks balls. But come the fuck on. Use your brain. Open your eyes. We have a chance for a better tomorrow with Biden. The GOP have been on the actual damn record this past month alone condemning the LGBTQ+ community, calling the fucking nuking of Japan a good choice, and trying to convince everyone that removing a woman's autonomy is a righteous act.

This is what YOU support. Sleep well because if Trump wins I know your ass will be nowhere to be found.
