It’s obvious at this point that it doesn’t matter what anyone says or thinks, the US is going to keep on funding the slaughter in Gaza.
Biden or Kamala would do the same thing, but while complaining about it and pretending they’re not doing it and allowing people to protest.
Trump and his VP James Bowman are vowing “endless death.” Both Trump and “JD Vance” have sworn that they will never put any limits on Israel and will help them to attack Iran.
Dozens of US doctors and nurses who worked in Gaza have written to Joe Biden claiming that the true death toll from Israel’s months-long assault is much higher than previously reported, demanding the US withdraw diplomatic and military support for Israel until there is a ceasefire.
The eight-page letter, delivered on Thursday and addressed to Biden, the first lady, Jill Biden, and the vice-president, Kamala Harris, said the medics saw evidence of widespread violations of laws governing the use of US weapons supplied to Israel, and of international humanitarian law.
Forty-five surgeons, emergency room physicians and nurses who volunteered in several Gaza hospitals over recent months laid out what they described as the “massive human toll from Israel’s attack on Gaza, especially the toll it has taken on women and children”.
“We cannot forget the scenes of unbearable cruelty directed at women and children that we witnessed ourselves,” they wrote.
“Every single signatory to this letter treated children in Gaza who suffered violence that must have been deliberately directed at them. Specifically, every one of us on a daily basis treated pre-teen children who were shot in the head.”
Several of the signatories previously told the Guardian they believed Israeli snipers were targeting children and reported the devastating impact on civilians of weapons designed to spray high levels of shrapnel.
The medics, who volunteered with the World Health Organization and other relief groups, told the president the real death toll is much higher than the Palestinian ministry of health’s casualty figure of more than 39,000 people killed, the majority being women and children.
“It is likely that the death toll from this conflict is already greater than 92,000, an astonishing 4.2% of Gaza’s population,” they wrote.
That’s a whole lot of death.
Compare it to the Ukraine war: that’s like if Russia would have killed 2 million Ukraine citizens in the first 9 months.
Bibi keeps saying, and said during his speech before Congress this week, that October 7th was “Israel’s 9/11,” and actually much worse than 9/11. Well, the US, insane as it is, didn’t respond to 9/11 by eradicating 4.2% of their civilian population in 9 months.
The only people who can get away with just mass-murdering kids are Jews.
