Hmph. I spend ten minutes making a stupid meme using this ridiculously opaque phone markup app, only to be immediately downvoted. This is what I get for trying to elevate the quality of political discourse.
I love your meme!
Why call for a ceasefire and simultaneously provide the weapons to continue murdering civilians? Oh because it’s all just for optics.

I assume it’s to be able to say there’s a large difference between voting Harris and Trump for voters who care about Palestine. Which I imagine is at least part of what you mean by ‘optics’.
However, if my family were dying in Palestine, I still would not be happy. “We’ll kill them BUT send aid” is not enough of a difference from “We’ll kill them but NOT send aid”.

Happy cake day my friend
You can’t help yourself, can you?
He’s right. Anything short of an arms embargo is just optics. Or did we already forget about the peir and what an absolute performative shitshow that was?

I’m not sure what this comment means. It’s pretty cryptic.
Interesting way to
burnblow up money, sending targets for the Israelis to bomb.Maybe we should try to stop the Israelis from their campaign of genocide before trying to do the whole ‘humanitarian aid’ thing?
Or at least get the Israelis to actually let the aid in?
Yes. Will this aid actually reach those in need? I’ve seen allegations that IDF soldiers have filmed themselves stealing aid, which is troubling.
Highly doubtful that most if even ANY of it is going to reach the people who need it.
EXTREMELY likely that they’ll send the fascist apartheid regime weapons totaling at least 20 times as much between now and the end of the year, though.
Blinken is a disgraceful collaborator and should resign immediately.
