updated as of yesterday (July 21): based on a statistical model developed by a prestigious medical journal called The Lancet, Israel has killed roughly 434,800 people in Gaza since the country’s military started to attack the territory on 8 October 2023. That’s 20.7% of Gaza’s entire pre-conflict population dead. Over half are women and children.
This fucked, since Israel goal is to kill them all. This just means this shit isn’t even close to over. Can we please get an American Congress that will put a stop to this?
There are ~3 congress members out of 535 total who oppose this genocide. Thats ~0.56%, despite the general population of the US being over half opposing the genocide.
The US isn’t a democracy, its a capitalist dictatorship, and meaningful change can’t come through its own system.
The US government is the primary driver behind this war of extermination
Hence why I said Congress has the power to stop this. We cut off money and weapons and send our military in to bring aid to Gaza this shit would end.
Oh you mean like AOC who told us peasants that the iron dome is defensive and of need of american taxdollars.
Most Americans fully support this. AOC votes to send missiles to Israel and the Democrats are falling over eachother to defend her.
3.5 more years until we have a chance of restoring sanity. Assuming there is still an America at that point.
Edit: Since it seems I wasn’t clear, my point was the rest of world can’t and shouldn’t trust America. There are more countries in the world than the US and hoping the US does anything, especially in time to save Palestinian lives, is pointless. Just as global boycotts are finding ways to cut America out of their societies, the same should be happening for politics.
There was never sanity. The dems support this. With thunderous applause.
The genocide started when Democrats were in power with iron-clad support from the Biden administration.
Why are democrats like this? “damn I guess we’ll wait 3.5 years until we can vooooote, maybe the genocide will end then”
Democrats: against every war except the current one.
The democrats from other instances have no historical memory, that their party supported and continues to support every US war, from Vietnam, to Iraq, to Palestine.
Half these deaths were under Biden.
You forget the democrats started this genocide.
…The genocide didn’t start in 2023, it’s been an ongoing project for decades.
What about your country stops genociding people now asshole? Do you have any idea if the meaning of what your saying?
“Genocide can wait, we gotta preserve democracy” what a scum
Well we could theoretically flip congress in the midterms in 18 months.
Not on the unlimited firepower and diplomatic cover for Israel issue.
