Big Biden donors are helping dictate IL policy, but that may be dangerous, bc he may lose 13% of those who voted for him in 2020:
A poll released this week found that Pre Biden would likely lose the support this Nov of around 13% of those who voted for him in 2020 largely bc of his handling of foreign policy & IL's war in Gaza. Those same policies likely benefit the pres' re-election campaign in a different way: his biggest funders happen to support them. #IsraelHamasWarhttps://responsiblestatecraft.org/biden-gaza-2668270281/
Israeli officials believe IL is at war with the UN, all who speak for PA civilians, Hamas...:
IL’s UN AMB has branded the world body a “terror org", escalating tensions b/w the 2 sides amid the #IsraelHamasWar & attacks on UN FACs in Jerusalem.
G Erdan, the AMB, said on Wed that the UN has “turned into a collaborator with Hamas . . . maybe even more than that --co-operates with Hamas -provides cover for it, & is led by Sec-Gen Guterres -who quickly criticizes IL."
Pres Biden is addressing the #famine in Gaza, but #Netanyahu isn't letting aid through. The US needs to prioritize protecting civilians.
As of the start of April at least 32 ppl, 28 of whom were children, have died of malnutrition & dehydration in Gaza💔, acc to HRW. Numerous employees of USAID assail the agency & the Biden admin for its “failure to uphold INTL humanitarian principles & to adhere to its mandate to save lives."
~450K Palestinians have fled from Rafah over the past week, as Israeli tanks push deeper into the city.
"Ppl face constant exhaustion, hunger & fear," warned UNRWA.
New Israeli op in N Gaza: displaced another 100K ppl.
WH nat. security adviser J Sullivan said on Mon: the US still believed "it'd be a mistake to launch a major MIL op into the heart of Rafah that'd put huge numbers of civilians at risk🚨w/o a clear strategic gain".
Israeli forces have carried out at least 8 strikes on aid workers’ convoys & premises in Gaza since Oct 2023 *the aid groups had provided their coordinates to the IL authorities to ensure their protection. IL authorities didn't issue advance warnings to any of the aid orgs. before the strikes, which killed or injured ~31 aid workers +those with them. >250 aid workers: killed in Gaza since #Oct7.
A compelling reason for the US to change course, but pols & donors owned by #AIPAC, #ChristianNationalists, &... are thwarting...
American doctors are trapped in Gaza💔as a result of IL’s post-invasion closure of the Rafah border crossing into EG, acc to sources with knowledge of the plight of 2 ill-fated MED mis-.
He's determined to continue with his strategy *prioritizes MIL goals over humanitarian objectives such as freeing the hostages or safeguarding Gazan civilians. IL ordered a new round of forced evacuations in Gaza -orders that are illegal under INTL law. Although the differences b/w the US & IL are the widest they have ever been, no one expects the 2 countries to totally break relations: they need one another. #IsraelHamasWar https://english.elpais.com/usa/2024-05-13/gaza-war-pushes-us-israel-relations-to-unprecedented-low-point.html
In the Arab world: 92% of the poll's respondents: "Palestinian cause -not solely the concern of #Palestinians but of all Arabs." In JO: "Our people are starving -I feel guilty for sleeping on a bed -eating while people in Gaza starve.” Woman in the crowd: feared that JO, where 1/2 pop. of PA heritage, could become the next Gaza -cited a speech by Smotrich, IL’s FIN MIN, there was “no such thing as a Palestinian” bc -no such thing as the PA ppl.” #IsraelHamasWarhttps://www.newyorker.com/news/letter-from-jordan/the-other-side-of-the-river
I followed @auschwitzmuseum even before I switched to the #Fediverse It posts pictures of people (a lot of which children) that where murdered in concentration camps every day, to let us not forget.
I have need of a #Aleppomuseum and #Gazamuseum and #Ukrainamuseum account that posts daily pictures of people (a lot of which children) that where killed in the last few days.
In regard to the #IsraelHamasWar you are engaging in #HolocaustInversion. Because unlike the #Holocaust, there is not now, nor has there been, a significant Israeli ideology, movement, policy or plan to exterminate the Palestinian population. It is in fact a defensive war in response to a genocidal terrorists attack. Whether intentionally or not, your comparison to Gaza is inherently antisemitic.
