> Previous administration tried hard. * Four UN ceasefire vetoes said otherwise. * Over 100 weapons shipments, including 2,000 lb unguided bombs, said otherwise. * Using the power of the government to smear peaceful student protesters spoke mountains. * Biden's repetition of debunked mass rape lies painted a pretty clear picture. * Constant gaslighting from Blinken, Patel and Miller re Israeli atrocities such as Hind Rajab or the Al Nasr babies said otherwise. * A firm commitment from Kamala that there would be no arms embargo, "no matter what", said otherwise with crystal clarity. I find the rewriting of history on this topic deeply disturbing.
