Every day when I scroll on Instagram I see pictures from the American Friends Service Committee and the UU Service Committee streaming out of Gaza of children getting blown up by American bombs being shot by the Israelis.
I also see the same thing from Russians blowing up Ukrainian grandmothers.
Why is it that you can send money to Israel, which is killing children, while you struggle to send weapons to Ukraine, which was invaded by a vicious fascist dictatorship? You make me wish we had ranked voting so I could vote you out.
My great-grandmother did not flee Nazi Germany so that her descendants could watch our country send weapons to a country which is killing children as we practically stand idly by as the Russians invade a sovereign country. Not only that but as Ukrainians watch their grandmothers be murdered by Russian pigs you have the audacity to ask them not to blow up military installations in Russia. The nerve.
I know you wish you could close off our borders to foreigners, put up steep tariffs, and just subsidize every business with tax money. The reality is this will not work. The United States has a moral obligation to stand up for human rights in Afghanistan, Palestine, and Ukraine. Ukraine has made their demands very clear. They want to be members of NATO to protect themselves. We owe them that after the brutality they have undergone.
I am sick and tired of you sending weapons to Israel which then go to blow up hospitals, murder children at point blank range, and then you have the nerve to defund the UNRWA, one of the only agencies which actually helps civilians in Gaza. This is because of unsubstantiated claims a few members are involved with Hamas. Remove the people helping Hamas, and continue to provide aid to the Palestinians in Gaza. This is not complicated. This is what every human rights organization in the world is calling on you to do.
For comaprison, a bunch of United States State Department staffers granted visas to the terrorists who attacked us on 9/11. Are you going to defund the State Department? Defunding an entire humanitarian agency because a few staffers violated the law is absurd.
Your policies in Afghanistan and Palestine are pure evil. Your policies in Ukraine are almost as bad as how Neville Chamberlain responded to the Anschluss. Your border policy without pushing for fixing our work visa laws which George W. Bush broke is inhumane.
Your commitment to human rights is as bad as Bush and Trump. I wish we had ranked voting so I could vote against you this November, but everything you do which I oppose is just as bad as George W. Bush and Trump. There are a few issues where you are still better than them on domestic issues, but I pray to God that your caucus will be slaughtered in the primaries.
Under your leadership we live in a world where right wing extremists like Netanyahu and Putin are more emboldened than at any other point in my lifetime. It is only a matter of time until another terrorist attack strikes either India, the European Union, or the United States and the terrorists will be funded once again by people in Saudi Arabia (according to your friend Hillary Clinton) and other Gulf States, and they are being trained in Afghanistan right now. This is your legacy.
If Ukraine falls, NATO will look weak, and Taiwan will be invaded. The United States has the resources to give Ukraine total victory. I don’t know if we have the resources to wage a three front war in Europe, Korea, and Taiwan. That is the future if Ukraine does not have total victory.
We tried appeasement with Putin in 2014. People said that giving him Crimea, the Donbass, and Luhansk would be enough and that he wouldn’t continue. People said the same thing when the Anschluss happened. These ideas were fully discredited in 1939 and have no place in politics. It is utterly absurd that these views still have an ear in modern politics.
Please consult with human rights organizations. Your foreign policy stinks. There is still time to turn this ship around.
Cut off all non-humanitarian aid to Israel. Either recognize Palestine as a foreign country and get them UN membership or demand Israeli citizenship for all Palestinians. This Bantustan-like system in the region is not working.
Give Ukraine everything they need to stop the Russian invasion to both save Ukrainian lives. We cannot afford a World War.
