Go Not Abroad to Arm and Defend Monsters

“The U.S. has enabled the slaughter and starvation in Gaza for more than thirteen months. Conservative estimates from medical workers that have served in Gaza put the overall death toll at nearly 119,000, and that number will have risen significantly in the weeks since then. We have seen the same pattern repeat for all that time: the Israeli government commits grievous crimes against the Palestinian civilian population, the administration tut-tuts and asks that Netanyahu and his allies be slightly less sadistic, the Israeli government blows through whatever lines the administration has drawn, and then the U.S. shrugs and takes their word for it that they are improving. The Biden administration will never find Israel in violation of any law because they do not want to withhold the weapons that the Israeli military uses to commit war crimes.” (11/15/24)
