    I think people are just venting. We all feel helpless.
    I have no idea what to do that would actually help the people of Gaza. Biden obviously doesn’t care. The states brutalized the kids (again). Any money we try to donate will be interdicted becuase “terrorism”.

      I hate this part the most. There’s literally no viable way to help, aside from political pressure - which then gets shouted down as ‘bad faith tankie’.

      • The crossing are crippled and capriciously limited by Israel and/or ‘protesters’
      • Airdrops are helping, but barely
      • The floating pier is now out of commission for “at least a week”
      • Direct donations are likely not going to reach needy, but be skimmed or frozen

      And all that, just so they can be bombed or starved. Even those who do survive this if/when it ends will be desperately broken people who have endured incredible loss and trauma
