We've mostly been hearing from The Squad about the war in the Middle East, and even they have started to temper their posts and admit that antisemitism is the problem. Sen. Elizabeth Warren is no Squad member, but she's upset that Israel has cut off food, water, electricity, and medicine to Gaza — all of which Israel provided before it was invaded on October 7. Hamas rules Palestine — why is Hamas not being held accountable for not providing these things for its own citizens instead of funneling foreign humanitarian aid into tunnels and rockets?
We'll give Warren credit for mentioning the release of hostages, which The Squad always seems to overlook.
Civilians in Gaza desperately need food, water, electricity, and medicine. Israel has an obligation to follow international law and protect civilian lives. I’m calling for humanitarian pauses to accelerate aid for Palestinians and unconditional hostage releases.

She reminds us of blue-city mayors crying about the condition of their cities.
No "humanitarian pause" AKA as a ceasefire to help Hamas. If you want the war to end, you should call for Hamas to release all the hostages, INCLUDING THE AMERICAN HOSTAGES, and surrender.

Why do Democrats never call on Hamas to distribute the stores they're hoarding for themselves?

Hamas is hoarding plenty of food and water in its terror tunnel network.
LOL, Israel has no responsibility for those who want them dead, nitwit.

Why was the word "Hamas" not mentioned anywhere in your post?

Cc: Hamas.

They got all that stuff. Demand they share with the civilians. Demand they release the hostages. Stop playing the moral equivalence game.
This is Hamas’ problem. Want to end Gaza’s suffering? Call for Hamas’ surrender. You cannot run a world order where rape and murder and pillage go unpunished. It is an obscene ask, but you already know that. https://t.co/yUcmP8PKKq

@SenWarren: Talk to Rashida. Let her contact her homies in Hamas. Tell them to feed their own people. We know they have provisions in those tunnels. They could have built tunnels to protect their citizens but they didn't. It's not our problem. Unconditional surrender.

Israel has an obligation to protect itself from being wiped off the map. Any "humanitarian pause" would just be an excuse for Hamas to regroup. Israel has them on the run now and that's as it should be.
