Nope I do not mean that. $24 billion in funding plus 4 billion in grants to local governments. All of this before they decided to start removing homeless people from the streets. Don’t tell them they haven’t tried to fix the root cause, they have, they just couldn’t manage to do it, and honestly I can’t blame them, rehabilitating homeless people is a tough job that money can’t do.

Nope, he provided them a ton of funding to fix the problem … and they didn’t. Kind of their fault

And how would we do that? In places like SF we’ve spent billions trying to fix the problem … and nothing has been fixed. There are many options for help but the people on the streets choose not to seek for help, they made the decision to stay on the streets and this is the consequence.

Weren’t there some issues with a few UNRWA staff helping hamas? As much as I’d like to support relief efforts, that is a red flag.

I was using mastodon instead and commenting on lemmy posts from there.

Yes, I know what it means, and that is pretty borderline to me especially when considering it in the results of previous ones in that region. Especially when the word “global” is often positioned before it (I should have probably mentioned that tbf).

Idk why this is getting downvoted. Some things that these protesters say/do are vile and reprehensible. I have seen them call for that as well as intifada, which is disgusting.
