Ah see, here's where Jews are reminded that conservatives support them when they're thousands of miles away and occupied with killing brown people, not living among them and participating in government.
Al Jazeera just brought this up as it was likely missed by many.

The US had directed Palestinian Americans to travel to the Rafah Crossing with Egypt as they were negotiating the allowance for them to cross.

State Department says around 600 American citizens are currently in Gaza.
Al Jazeera's update is that while Blinken was in a meeting with Netanyahu and had been directing the State Department to release that statement, the Israeli military launched a missile strike on the crossing.

The Biden admin has negotiated to allow 20 of the 100+ aid trucks on the Egyptian side of the Rafah Crossing to provide aid to Gaza. Egypt is currently in the process of repairing the crossing to allow the trucks to cross safely. The earliest they will be able to cross is tomorrow. To allow more aid to reach the area, the current allotment cannot be distributed to Hamas.
Why are we negotiating? We literally said "hey we're using this crossing" and Israel destroyed it.
Fuck Hamas, but really?
The Biden admin also working on getting American citizens out of Gaza, but additional aid is more likely to get through before people getting out is to happen. Right now they're seeking assurances that the Israeli military will hold off from bombing the crossing. Previously it had been attacked on the 10th and again on the 16th.
Hey, bombing ambulance convoys or murdering powerless civilians fleeing from an ethnic cleansing through a safe corridor. Is just part of the cost to protect the neoliberal world order, just ask Gred. Or Biden, since he argued once that if Israel didn't exist we would need to create one to forward US imperial interests in the region.
Because the truth of this whole situation is as simple as talking about the Nakba or marrying a non Jew in Israel is illegal.
Ol' Adolf tried to warn us about them being shifty, but we didn't listen!

Israel is exercising violence in excess of what it needs to and in doing so is acting counterproductively to their goal.
But if Israel were necessary for the liberal international order (it's not), then yes it would be an acceptable cost.
Just like how we deal with Saudi Arabia despite their fueling the civil war in Yemen which is way worse and has killed far more Arabs than this conflict.

Man fuck Saudi Arabia, I'm gonna go back in time and kick Eisenhower square in the dick to prevent him and Churchill from overthrowing Mosaddegh and letting Iran check Saudi ambition for decades to come.
Watch your fucking dick, Ike.
