At least 57 Palestinians have starved to death in Gaza as Israel’s punishing blockade of food, water, and other critical aid to the besieged enclave stretches into its third month amid relentless bombardment.

Gaza’s Government Media Office said on Saturday that most of the victims were children, as well as the sick and elderly, condemning the “continued use of food by the Israeli occupation as a weapon of war” and urging the international community to exert pressure on Israel to reopen the borders and allow in aid.

    The problems with Israel extend well past the Middle East. Our government has been infiltrated, compromised, and there are attacks on 1A-protected free speech.

    This is absolutely a problem for Americans.

        Nope. I voted for Harris/Walz.

        But you can recognize a problem and call out your side’s bullshit while still opposing the other side. That might be a bit nuanced for you though.
