A lead organization monitoring for food crises around the world withdrew a new report this week warning of imminent famine in north Gaza under what it called Israel’s “near-total blockade,” after the U.S. asked for its retraction, U.S. officials told The Associated Press. The move follows public criticism of the report from the U.S. ambassador to Israel.
The rare public challenge from the Biden administration of the work of the U.S.-funded Famine Early Warning System, which is meant to reflect the data-driven analysis of unbiased experts, drew accusations from aid and human-rights figures of possible U.S. political interference. A finding of famine would be a public rebuke of Israel, which has insisted that its 15-month war in Gaza is aimed against the Hamas militant group and not against its civilian population.
Bruh…
Well you can have a party full of literal fascists and people will still vote for them before considering a third party. If you have any hope of a third party taking any amount of control, I could use some of it. Sadly, third parties are mostly just spoilers for the opposition these days though.
I agree that Republicans are going full-fascist (even more than they were in the past), but if the establishment Democrats are clearly more willing to hand Republicans control than change themselves or lose control of the party, are they really any better? Nazis vs Nazi Collaborators isn’t much of a choice. I would have said that was hyperbole in the past, but the centrist Dems covering for Israel is making it pretty on-the-nose.
Nah both parties suck. One’s fascists, the other’s just a complete mess. Still, says a lot that people would rather vote in the fascists.
