Barry De Jasu: Where is the line?

The Netanyahu government has used the unexplained, little-defended Hamas attack on Israel on Oct. 7 as an opportunity to slaughter and starve the entire Palestinian population. It has done this with the unceasing supply of U.S. weaponry and money.

The U.S. has claimed to persistently protest the savagery while it has given endless and unconditional weaponry and money and continues to do so. Over 30,000 Palestinians have perished. This figure is woefully underestimated as so many are buried under rubble. The entire population is starving. And what is Biden offering? A six-week cease-fire.

The devastation that is Gaza and its people is overwhelming. Very little can be done to relieve the suffering that has been visited on Gaza by the apartheid Netanyahu government. Is President Biden blind? Can he not see or admit to the horrors of this horror? Does he not see these horrors, but also the threat this has for November’s vital election?

Don’t get me wrong, I will hold my nose, like more than anytime before, and vote for anyone but authoritarian and criminal Trump and his Republicans. But please, President Biden and those Democrats supporting Biden, open your hearts and minds. Admit to the horrors of your to-date adherence to Netanyahu and his hyper-Zionists.
