Where is the outrage? Where have all the "humans" gone? Israel slaughtered over 400 innocent civilians in Gaza last night. Most of them women and children.

None of those with #Ukraine, #Canada, #Mexico and #EU flags on their profile raising their voice condemning this outrageous crime.

-----------
The sheikh wandered around the city with a lamp

I'm tired of all the devils and the death, and seeking one human

They said it cannot be found, we have searched, As we said before

That which cannot be found I desire

دی شیخ با چراغ همی‌ گشت گرد شهر
کز دیو و دد ملولم و انسانم آرزوست

گفتند یافت می‌ نشود جسته‌ ایم ما گفت
آن که یافت می‌ نشود آنم آرزوست

I got the circumstances wrong, the temporary halt was because he didn't want the weapons used on civilians in Rafah.

And also it caused a Republican shit storm: https://mccormick.house.gov/media/in-the-news/daily-caller-exclusive-more-100-lawmakers-slam-biden-withholding-weapons-israel

Looks like they did threaten to withhold military aid in the fall over the flow of humanitarian aid, but that didn't happen.

@NewSocialWhoDis Thanks for the clarifcation albeit I seriously doubt biden had any real control over what the generals do, and in this case they most likely didnt want to piss off Egypt, which has a huge military ground force to match the ones israel and the US DON'T have. Rumsfeld's leaner meaner army happened... at least the Leaner part.
