"“Today marks 68 days and counting since ANY humanitarian aid was allowed into Gaza. For more than nine weeks, Israel has blocked all supplies: no food, no water, no medicine, and no fuel.”

U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) not only highlighted those conditions in a speech on the Senate floor Thursday but also called out the fact that the worsening humanitarian crisis “gets very little discussion here in the nation’s capital or in the halls of Congress,” even though Israel has spent the past 19 months destroying Gaza with armed and diplomatic support from the United States."

Sorry, are we under the impression that Israel after killing north of 50,000 people, most of whom are children, is in any way civilized? I guess that’s what delusion will do for you.

Yet Sanders still refuses to admit this is a genocide, while also condemning the axis of resistance and still supporting zionists.

I disagree. “Primitive” hunter/gatherer people would never deliberately starve children to death. To do something that evil you need civilization.

It takes a very complex society with a sophisticated ideological superstructure and to dehumanise people so much.
