How much humanitarian aid would this have been in dollars?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

Simply not sending these weapons would be humanitarian aid

Probably about 10% of what it will cost to rebuild Palestine (assuming that Palestinians aren't ethnically cleansed from all of Palestine).

I don’t know how to interpret, “How much humanitarian aid would [50,000 tons of weapons] have been in dollars?”

There is nothing like siding with the Neue Nazis.

Imagine arming Nazi Germany in the 1930s. Oh wait

No but don't worry, several people have assured me Kamala Harris is really going to get the ceasefire this time.

She totally isn't lying about it which is why she banned Palestinians from speaking at the DNC.

Definitely gonna see that ceasefire as soon as she becomes president I swear.
