Bernie Sanders May 08, 2025

[based on speech given to US Senate]

"Thursday marks 68 days and counting since ANY humanitarian aid was allowed into Gaza. For more than nine weeks, Israel has blocked all supplies: no food, no water, no medicine, and no fuel.

Hundreds of truckloads of lifesaving supplies are waiting to enter Gaza, sitting just across the border, but are denied entry by Israeli authorities.

... Defense Minister Israel Katz said, “Israel’s policy is clear: No humanitarian aid will enter Gaza, and blocking this aid is one of the main pressure levers.” "

Might it have something to do with AIPAC? They have most of Congress on their payroll.

Because they like it.

Why would they draw attention to it if the people don’t?

Maybe fewer people will hear about it if they don’t say nothing

Exactly. Headline answered it's own question; they're silent about it because they are enabling it.
