“Israel MUST open the borders and allow the United Nations to deliver supplies in sufficient quantities.”
“The United States, which has helped fund the Israeli military for years, cannot sit back and allow hundreds of thousands of innocent children to starve to death,” Sanders (Vt.) said in a statement. “As a result of Israeli bombing and restrictions on humanitarian aid, the people of Gaza are facing an unprecedented humanitarian disaster.”
Israeli forces have killed more than 30,200 Palestinians in Gaza—most of them women and children—while wounding over 71,300 others and displacing around 90% of the besieged enclave’s 2.3 million people. Children are now starving to death, and experts say adults, especially elders and other vulnerable people, will soon follow absent urgent intervention.
That’s a really simple world you live in. I don’t think things are going to wind up the way you do, but only time will tell.
Lots of people share your perspective, but not as many as your bubble leads you to believe. The US has been against the ground war from the beginning, and the world knows it. A UN resolution calling for a ceasefire would be toothless and ineffective, and the world knows that too. It would only serve to undermine the authority of the UN. The ICJ already made demands of Israel (with US backing) and those demands are sitting in Netanyaho’s waste basket.
It seems to me that the dollar has been losing its trade status for decades, while somehow never actually doing so. Weird that.
The constant expansion of BRICS and the recent deals between countries to trade oil in national currencies instead of USD and Russia completely recovering from the sanctions regime tells me that time is already telling.
Mutlipolarity.
That said, maybe it doesn’t matter what the US does in the Israel problem. If the US cuts Israel off then a quickly multipolarizing world might see Israel find new friends like you say. I’m skeptical, I dont think Israel has good prospects for anyone else, but maybe you’re right. That just means it’s just too late to stop the ship from sinking.
But if it’s damned if you do, damned if you don’t, then I’d rather be damned while not supporting genocide!
