[based on speech given to US Senate]
"Thursday marks 68 days and counting since ANY humanitarian aid was allowed into Gaza. For more than nine weeks, Israel has blocked all supplies: no food, no water, no medicine, and no fuel.
Hundreds of truckloads of lifesaving supplies are waiting to enter Gaza, sitting just across the border, but are denied entry by Israeli authorities.
… Defense Minister Israel Katz said, “Israel’s policy is clear: No humanitarian aid will enter Gaza, and blocking this aid is one of the main pressure levers.” "
They’re either bought or scared of somebody who is bought.

Great share. Hopefully we can see more insight into how platform owners and mods are abusing their power to decide what people get to talk about, and by extension what they get to think about.
The modlog in lemmy is a godsend. It should be standard everywhere to be able to see what someone else is trying to hide from you.
We should get to decide, not some fuckhead with an agenda.
