This famine could have been prevented, if only our government treated Palestinians as human beings whose lives were worth saving. How can food be blocked yet arms still flow? 30696297
Reposted by Reza Rahman ☮Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 22/08/2025The UN says the famine in Gaza is “entirely man-made” and “could be halted & reversed.” Trump is supposedly a “tough guy.” Well, it’s time for him to have the guts to stand up to Netanyahu and stop sending billions in U.S. tax dollars to Israel to starve children. 671216288

Reza Rahman ☮ @reza-rahman.bsky.social · 14/06/2025Give this a careful read. This appears to be now the predominant sentiment in Iran.
