Article: Why Are Americans Letting Israel Starve Us to Death in Gaza? | “How can a country that preaches human rights, democracy, and justice turn its back so completely on our suffering? […] How can the American people trust a government that uses their taxes to fund our destruction?”

1. Because the majority of us don’t have a say in where our funding goes

   ETA Not to mention our stupid-as-hell president, an idiot with nuclear launch codes

2. Because Netanyahu could do no wrong as far as Trump concerned.

   Trump is protecting him from more crimes.

3. Blame Dearborn and Arabs for Trump

4. 💰 💴 💰

5. it’s a lie.

   we don’t.

6. America doesn’t preach anything like justice or human rights anymore. We are fully run by regressive theocrats, funded by technocrats, with the willing support of racist evangelicals as a base. A full 90 million people sat out the last election and could have prevented this.

7. Not Americans – Trump

8. I’m assuming you are also including Arab-Americans. Many chose to vote and endorse Trump in 2024. Here we are today…

9. Because the people who believe in human rights, democracy and justice are not in charge. The people in charge are against those things.

10. I sympathize, but they’re still holding 50+ Israeli hostages. I don’t think Israel should leave without the hostages. This weekend they found 3 who had been murdered.

    Hamas should release the hostages. Then Israel should leave Gaza.

11. As sad as it sounds it is money. It has never been about democracy that is or was the usual excuse to invade democratically elected governments that didn’t align with their interests

12. You should see how we treat immigrants

13. We dont. It was stolen & usurped from us normals. Now we can’t get it back.

14. Stop calling for the US to help. Make a call to China or the EU. Ask Pope Leo for mercy and send Catholic Ministries or Envoys. What other countries can step up to help? Japan? South Korea? Australia? New Zealand? Canada? They spend more money on the Olympics and shit.

15. Start asking Hamas the same questions. They have food. They have hostages. They can stop the war tomorrow. Professional victims and murderers only mix well in Gaza. In Hamas.

16. Bruh they’re not just attacking you, *they’re attacking us too.*

17. I don’t know, you’re treatment has been horrific

18. Been wondering that for a while

19. And of course the Palestinians celebrated 9/11. So why is it now they are begging for help after voting in Hamas as the government. I am a supporter of peace but this is “You Reap What You Sow”.

20. It boils down to this, it’s currently headed up by the GOP, a bunch of christian hypocrites. They talk a good talk.

21. I do not support genocide. But I’m not in charge of anything. And of course I don’t trust them.

22. Media blackout in Gaza and war as a distraction, progressives are really good about organizing for A cause, when something new comes along we tend to lose sight and attention pretty quickly. I believe by design of the media, it manipulative to push the emotionality of something new and make it a crisis to draw attention away from something else.

    Not saying those things don’t deserve attention, we just have to be better at multitasking and remembering solidarity with all progressive causes
