Lebanon’s health minister has said what is happening in his country is “carnage”, as hospitals struggle to cope with the number of casualties from two days of widespread Israeli air strikes targeting the armed group Hezbollah.
Dr Firass Abiad told the BBC it was “clear” that many of the 550 people killed in Monday’s attacks were civilians, including children and women.
Hey, let’s consider more than a single issue.
If Democrats see Gazan children as totally expendable, what makes you think they see anybody else differently?
Politicians see Gaza as relatively unimportant because American voters generally see Gaza as relatively unimportant. Poll after poll shows that voters are far more interested in affordable housing and women’s rights. And by “voters” I mean the people who will actually vote, so that doesn’t include you.
When voters think Gaza is more important than affordable housing and women’s rights, politicians will too.
And Republicans don’t? They’re seen as a commodity by Republicans and one they aren’t willing to invest in hence every argument being about money at heart.
