“According to the most respected measure of these things, 100 percent of the population in Gaza is at severe levels of acute food insecurity. That’s the first time an entire population has been so classified,” Blinken told a press conference in the Philippines, where he is on an official visit.

        Yep. Reading up on the history of Hamas is interesting.

        Apparently, they didn’t start targeting civilians until Israel did it first, lol. This is all pretty well documented for those who are willing to look.

        I, personally, am ashamed at how little I knew about the affairs of the region until recently.

          I always thought it should be kinda obvious, but the sheer racism against muslims makes people think of Hamas that way, no way their actions are justified, but almost all these radical extremist organizations are the direct consequence of years of brutal oppression from some other party

          Kinda Similar to 9/11, the US is always painted as the good guys, but they were the only ones digging their own grave, again, it was terrible, but the US should have been held equally accountable, rather they actually doubled down
