Rhodes: “#Israel doesn’t want to end the war … if they were willing to end the war, they would get the hostages out. The idea that they need to continue to fight the war against #Hamas in Gaza - I’m sorry, there’s no security need to do it. You’re just talking about an already traumatised people, including a lot of injured people, who are being bombed in tents with no food and medicine.”

Vietor: “What a total fucking disgrace the Biden administration’s policy on Gaza was… Loyalty to #Netanyahu blinded him to the carnage, the total immorality of the policy, and US complicity in that policy.”

They were certainly horrible. The "Gaza Beach Resort" policy is still worse tho.

No resort possible with Biden's funding of genocide and ethnic cleansing. And lying about wanting a ceasefire

The protest vote was the one cast for the party lying about fighting for a ceasefire while courting war hungry Republicans.
