Israel and its *genocide in Gaza, according to Amnesty International[1]. Let's call it like it is, so that the funding may be stopped sooner rather than later.

Being against genocide is apolitical, for any reasonable definition of the word. I promise you cannot guess at my voting patterns from this opinion of mine.

Nothing new, been that way for a long time. There is plenty of money for killing people, none for keeping people alive.
