The Republicans created the UN’s debt crisis America is in arrears by over $ 1 billion and now refuses to pay the UNRWA.

  1. It’s an obvious atrocity that so many Palestinian non-combatants are being prevented from accessing safety/sanctuary, not to mention starved of food. Yet, Western politicians, especially U.S. Republicans, have gone into their ‘Christian’ mode by withholding humanitarian aid for literally starving Palestinians. Jesus must be spinning.

    But, really, who is plausibly going to stop the IDF and PM Netanyahoo, especially with their state-of-the-art mostly-American weaponry?

    There have been tens of thousands of innocent Palestinian non-combatants killed by Israeli assaults, largely the result of the decades-long Israeli occupation. This time, however, there not only were casualties in Israel but a significant number, even though they’re still far fewer than the Palestinian death toll.

    Normally, there are rockets fired from Palestinian territory, intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome anti-missile defenses, and Israel retaliates in their usual many-fold-measures way with smart bombs [etcetera] supplied by U.S. taxpayers, typically killing civilians or school children. The IDF’s frequent ‘defense’ is a claimed belief that their targets were using Palestinian non-combatants basically as human shields.

    It’s Israel’s, and too much of the West’s, business-as-usual perception thus inevitable non-intervention. Palestinians are considered disposable. Generally, Israel and Westerners, including our legacy news-media, have been getting accustomed to so many Palestinian deaths over many decades of struggle with Israel.

    For quite some time, maybe even decades, they have been perceived thus treated as not being of equal value to those within Israel. This may help explain the relative poverty, with Palestinian children picking through the mountains of Israeli waste basically dumped on territory annexed or on the way to being annexed.
