In reply to the discussion: Where is the Gaza outrage in the US? [View all]AloeVera
(3,294 posts)81. Yeah, sure...

Netanyahu was never held to account. He should have been publicly shamed and called out for all his manipulations wirh the ceasefire negotiations.
The Red Line of Rafah turned out to be nothing but words. It was supposed to lead to withholding of arms if the line was crossed. The line was obliterated, with no consequences.
Don't know how to end the siege? What an interesting way to describe mass murder, though the mass starvation element is on point.
The problem is not in not knowing how to stop but not WANTING to. Not until the ethnic cleansing to Libya or whichever hellhole is completed. First, whatever is still left of Gaza must be completely destroyed. The IDF and private contrsctors with bulldozers are working hard on that, including with bombs, controlled demolitions and bulldozers. When an army's main job becomes destroying civilian infrastructure... we have arrived at complicity in ethnic cleansing..
Meanwhile Netanyahu is working hard on sabotaging the current ceasefire negotiations. The recent announcement of the "humanitarian city" aka concentration camp and the actual announcement of plans to expel Gazans to whatever country will take them is sure to scuttle negotiations again, as planned. Disgusting.
Here is an interesting article that sheds light on the "inability" vs "unwillingness" aspect.

At this point I think a lot of people are more focused on the fascist takeover of their own country.

If they could, a fascist takeover of our own country wouldn't be occurring in the first place.

So what would it take to actually get to that point of indefensibility, if we're not already there yet?

No. For a start, over half of Palestinians in the occupied territories live in the West Bank, not Gaza

I think I do understand why Palestinians would go on a rampage (or at least I can try)

So the systemic starvation and collective punishment of innocent people are justified?

And that's a permanent blank check for Bibi's deliberate campaign of civilian murder, is it?

I feel like there's no way for that outrage to get through. If we had elected Kamala, she could have done

The rage burned out raging against the Biden Admin's inability to control Israel's war.
