The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

MAE SOT, Thailand (AP) - Mohammed Taher clutched the lifeless body of his 2-year-old son and wept. Ever since his family's food rations stopped arriving at their internment camp in Myanmar in April, the father had watched helplessly as his once-vibrant baby boy weakened, suffering from diarrhea and begging for food.
On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher's little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: "No one has died" because of his government's decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: "No children are dying on my watch."
That, Taher says, "is a lie."

Victim blaming is so hot right now. Were all the Jews slaughtered in the previous centuries in the region also foreseeable and avoidable? Also fuck you

Hollywood’s “boycott Israel” pledge isn’t activism, it’s hypocrisy. Emmy-winning writer Michael Kaplan calls out filmmakers who target the world’s only Jewish state while ignoring real human rights abusers.

For years, we've been fed a narrative that all Gazans were living impoverished lives in an "open-air concentration camp."

Now, Palestinians in Gaza want you to know about the privileged lifestyles they've lost.

Make it make sense, @thetimes.com.

How dare you speak of the Bibas! Take their name out of your mouth. The children were in tact and showed evidence that they were strangled. What a lying bloodthirsty ghoul you are

It's extraordinary the lengths you'll go to. If the hostage not POW (He was not kidnapped during a war nor was he a soldier) was starved because everyone is starving why were his captors well fed? Lying and knowing your lying.

Can't stop for one day. Cake sales and events across the country in every university titled "Time for Dessert". I cannot imagine how horrendous it is to be a young Jewish student in Britain today.
