When Will It Be Enough

As it stands the United States is now complicit in attempted genocide because of our unquestioning support of Israel. The International Court of Justice’s statement regarding the South African case on genocide proves that. 

But that’s not enough, by bombing Yemen, Iraq and Syria we are enticing Iran into a larger war, while Biden continues to claim that isn’t so.  

But that is not enough, on supposed information linking twelve Hamas fighters to the UN aid agency for Palestine, which has 13,000 employees, the United States and nine of its allies have withdrawn financial support of humanitarian aid to Palestinians

But that’s not enough, UNWRA aid is expected to run out by the end of February, the remaining Palestinians will face starvation, dehydration and death.

But that’s not enough, because as I speak Israel is bombing some of the last zones where Palestinians were told they would be safe, Over 27,000 people dead with an estimated 8-10,000 buried in the rubble, a totally destroyed landscape…no functioning colleges, hospitals, schools…

But that’s not enough, while all of this is happening both sides of the political aisle are rushing to send Israel 17.6 billion dollars to help continue Israel’s genocide. 

And that’s not enough for the inhuman leadership that we have elected. Now they are attempting to enact barbaric treatment of asylum seekers and refugees at our southern border.

And that’s not enough, no, none of it has been enough to make the citizens of this country decry the lies, the inhumanity and the greed of our legislators. 

When will it be enough? What will it take before we realize what is happening to the Palestinians is happening because of our silence?
