    China is great for supplying tech and military but don’t expect them to replace the USAID’s help on food across the globe. Produce is about to get a lot more expensive.

      You could at least be a good troll. Nothing more pathetic than a lazy half-assed troll.

      Why? Israel is completely blocking food assistance from getting in and has thoroughly destroyed any infrastructure for food production (or anything else, really.)

      What’s difficult to grasp about that?

    damn, hopefully saudi arabia, qatar, dubai, oman, egypt, or any other trillion dollar petro states can step up and help out

    maybe egypt needs to open the gates so they can let aid in?

    Between the genocide in Gaza and what’s coming for the West Bank, Palestine might not exist in the next few years. Survivors scattered to the winds.

    It’s incredibly sad, but honestly foreseeable. The right wing shift in the west is killing what little sympathy and press coverage there was.

      The following should be taken as a bit of a ramble because I want to express this idea I have, and I don’t think it should be taken as any sort of attempt to correct or challenge what you’re saying because I don’t think what you’re saying is in any way incorrect.

      I think the right wing shift is a mirage that is being perpetrated by corporate-owned media. That’s not to say that every media outlet is racist or is explicitly attempting to push a narrative, but I think that the large corporations in the U.S., at least, that own news media have a vested interest in not offending both monied and powerful interests. In that regard they are avoiding reporting on topics that will rally the public, or are outright changing how they report on certain topics.

      Which is a lot of words to say that I think what we’re seeing is false consensus driven from the top down, rather than a ‘bottom up’ shift in opinion. I think many of the normal folks are ill-informed, or outright propagandized.
      Doesn’t change the outcome, or the opinions held by so many, though… sigh

        While I think you’re correct, it doesn’t matter if the consensus is false. People believe it to be so, even though they’re categorically wrong, and now the minority actually has control of the government.

        The right wing in many countries have been funded by either domestic oil or Russia, there is endless documentation of this going back decades.

        But we literally fall for the same gimmick every single time anyway.

        That should be obvious as soon as you step off any social platform or physical space controlled by capital. Capital has always been a tool for conquerors.

      I’m fearful that the current US presidency is the final nail in Palestines coffin. I hope I’m wrong, but I don’t expect them to hang on in time for the next election.

      “Because they were prevented from restocking, they are now out of food, but this condition need not continue if they are restocked.”. Is that good enough?
