WASHINGTON, Nov 12 (Reuters) - President Joe Biden’s administration has concluded that Israel is not currently impeding assistance to Gaza and therefore is not violating U.S. law, the State Department said on Tuesday, even as Washington acknowledged the humanitarian situation remained dire in the Palestinian enclave.
Eight international aid groups, including Oxfam and Save the Children, said in a report that Israel had failed to meet the demands by the Tuesday deadline.
This is what makes this especially infuriating. If you wanted to just say it’s fine in a month as long as they “tried,” don’t put a firm number on it. If you do put the number and yet you don’t care whether they actually meet it, you are treating us all with absolute contempt. Like we’re fucking morons who don’t understand how numbers or concrete demands work.
And that’s before we consider the moral implications. Did Biden stop caring whether people are starving in the past month? There is no excuse and I hope he ends up on trial for his role in this before he dies.
