Brian Allen Puerto Ricans are rising up — demanding full separation from the United States, declaring they’ve had enough of being treated like a colony. No Senate seats. No presidential vote. No real voice. But somehow, they still pay taxes and die in U.S. wars.

he was able to start the systematic starvation. Biden also regurgitated Israeli propaganda about babies burned in ovens which was later debunked. He enabled the genocide. I hate tRump with all my guts, it’s a fact though that he just lets Bibi continue what Biden enabled and supported.
✨Zarathustra✨ (@zarathenurse.bsky.social) reply parent
Here’s the point. The pier was a total failure and just for show. It did cost millions of dollars and even if it hadn’t broken apart, it had never been enough. Biden watched the total dismantling not just of international humanitarian law, but also of UNWRA - which was Bibi’s plan because that’s how
✨Zarathustra✨ (@zarathenurse.bsky.social) reply parent
What you see now is the result from starvation that started way before. The largest cohort of child amputees and orphans was created under Biden. I feel like a lot of people are paying attention now because it happens under tRump. Where were they before?
✨Zarathustra✨ (@zarathenurse.bsky.social) reply parent
Honest question - does it feel “much worse” to you now because you started paying attention? It was already under Biden that Gaza was bombed into oblivion. They had to put shredded children in bags and weigh them to estimate how many died ffs. The starvation didn’t just start 6 months ago.

The State of Israel had already been occupying East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza for approximately 20 years prior to the founding of Hamas in 1987. In that time, over 250,000 Israeli Jewish settlers were embedded in the occupied territories. Why would it be any different if Hamas dissolved?

The Israeli government is denying a US Senator the ability to bear witness to the destruction the bombs and arms supplied by his own government have wrought, even by way of a third-party government, and that is significant, and it takes someone like him pushing the door to reveal the reality.
