WASHINGTON, Nov 12 (Reuters) - President Joe Biden’s administration has concluded that Israel is not currently impeding assistance to Gaza and therefore is not violating U.S. law, the State Department said on Tuesday, even as Washington acknowledged the humanitarian situation remained dire in the Palestinian enclave.
Eight international aid groups, including Oxfam and Save the Children, said in a report that Israel had failed to meet the demands by the Tuesday deadline.
US finds that Israel is not impeding assistance to Gaza;
aid groups disagreeobjective reality vehemently disagreesFixed it. This is literally Trump level gaslighting idiocy.
The US set out specific criteria, such as 350 aid trucks need to enter every day.
Now the results are in, only 40 trucks a day were allowed in, and starvation is getting worse. Will the US stick to its word and withhold weapons to Israel? Of course not.
It is now blatantly obvious this whole sceme was a lie to influence the election.
Lying to the American public while supporting a genocide, this is exactly why Democrats deserved to lose this election.
The US set out specific criteria, such as 350 aid trucks need to enter every day.
This is what makes this especially infuriating. If you wanted to just say it’s fine in a month as long as they “tried,” don’t put a firm number on it. If you do put the number and yet you don’t care whether they actually meet it, you are treating us all with absolute contempt. Like we’re fucking morons who don’t understand how numbers or concrete demands work.
And that’s before we consider the moral implications. Did Biden stop caring whether people are starving in the past month? There is no excuse and I hope he ends up on trial for his role in this before he dies.
Big “The police department have investigated themselves and found no wrongdoing” energy
Was about to comment exactly this. “We internally investigated our strategic ally and found no wrongdoing”
“They have investigated themselves and insist they’re not guilty. Aid groups are lying!”- Blinkin, probably.
I guess the question is are they lying? Or are they being truthful and only 40 trucks were sent because orgs are getting tired of their people exploding? Either way…
it was a political lie.
Not too dissimilar how the administration handled holding Trump accountable for his crimes. Too little, too late, and clearly just for show in an election year.
Flip the binoculars around and look again
Why would Trump do this?
Trump plans on sending aid? Ha. Gaza is Israel now.
That’s his foreign policy strategy in a nutshell. Help the bigger guy win faster.
