May 08, 2025"“Today 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.”
U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) not only highlighted those conditions in a speech on the Senate floor Thursday but also called out the fact that the worsening humanitarian crisis “gets very little discussion here in the nation’s capital or in the halls of Congress,” even though Israel has spent the past 19 months destroying Gaza with armed and diplomatic support from the United States."
I disagree. “Primitive” hunter/gatherer people would never deliberately starve children to death. To do something that evil you need civilization.
It takes a very complex society with a sophisticated ideological superstructure and to dehumanise people so much.
Well, I am sure, different clans at those times had nasty conflicts as well…
