    Will Europe continue to support Israel’s actions?

    But a number of observers have pointed to a shift in the rhetoric of some of the student organizers’ biggest detractors in recent days, with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton notably saying Thursday that “thousands of children in Gaza are at risk of starvation while trucks full of food sit waiting across the border” and calling for “the full flow of humanitarian assistance” to be restored.

    Clinton didn’t mention the Israeli blockade that has kept food from reaching Palestinians, more than 120 of whom have now died of starvation, or the at least $12.5 billion in military aid the U.S. has provided to Israel since the blockade first began in October 2023—in violation of U.S. laws prohibiting the government from giving military aid to countries that block humanitarian aid.

    i’m so glad that this ghoul never got to be president.
