It is against US law to provide weapons to forces who block United States humanitarian assistance. And that is exactly what is happening right now

I know a man, a decent man, who said that “preventing genocide is an achievable goal, a goal that requires a level of government organization and engagement that matches in its intensity the brutality and efficiency required to carry out mass killing. Too often, these efforts have come too late, after the best and least costly opportunities to prevent them have been missed.”
The man that said that was then Vice-President and now President Joseph Biden. And he was right
Throwing his own words straight back into his ancient hypocritical face...
I thought I could still hold my nose when he went around Congress to fund the genocide, but then he went around Congress to stop aid for Palestinians and pushed for it to be included in the fucking budget.
Everytime Americans plead for help, Biden says he can't do shit. But when Biden wants something (like dead brown children) suddenly the president can get shit done on his own.
Fuck Biden, he was never going to win my state anyways, but still, fuck Biden for ending a 20 year streak of voting D for president.
I just can't support him especially knowing that even if I did, he ain't winning my state. I'd be sacrificing an incredibly low moral bar to do it for literally zero payoff.
- Biden lost my vote when he told the American people he saw pictures of 40 beheaded babies.
  I still have hope he can earn it back- but that would require a significant, unlikely change in foreign policy.
  
  I always get impressed by how americans are like "yeah hes a genocidal ghoul but i can still vote on him"
- Tell me how Trump would handle this better than Biden.
  
  Seriously the US needs to get rid of the two party system and add more diversity and options.
The most pathetic, cowardly excuse for a "leftist politician."
i don't like the invasion of Rafah
THEN WHY DID YOU VOTE FOR IT!?
Too little too late. Still can't even call it a genocide ffs
AOC for President.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
I know a man, a decent man, who said that “preventing genocide is an achievable goal, a goal that requires a level of government organization and engagement that matches in its intensity the brutality and efficiency required to carry out mass killing.
A famine that is being intentionally precipitated through the blocking of food and global humanitarian assistance by leaders in the Israeli government.
This is a mass starvation of people, engineered and orchestrated following the killing of another 30,000, 70% of whom were women and children.
It looks like thousands of children eating grass as their bodies consume themselves, while trucks of food are slowed and halted just miles away.
And fulfill our obligations to the American people to suspend the transfer of US weapons to the Israeli government in order to stop and prevent further atrocity.
Blocking assistance from one’s closest allies to starve a million people is not unintentional.
