How fucking absurd is it that the kind of aid that gets allowed in is dictated by the people making that aid a necessity

It's a little easier to understand if you imagine you have someone confined in a small space, like a ghetto for example, and you really hate them and you're in charge of feeding them. I've seen it once before in history somewhere. A lot of people starved.

And lest anyone dare think I'm antisemitic, some of my favourite people in this world are Jewish. You can be Jewish and still a sociopathic cunt hair, be recognised for it and that recognition not be antisemitic. The two are not mutually exclusive.

Sorry, I'm just very upset after reading about the anasthetic-less amputations on kids above.

Oh yeah I fully understand Israel is a nazi state, no question. I'm not surprised at all that it's going on. Just thinking about how the US would react if Putin tried to dictate what aid was allowed to enter Ukraine, for example. The contrast is striking.
