 There's been a lot of talk about the uncommitted vote in Michigan on Tuesday's primary and before the vote There were reports that the Biden administration was quote freaking out about it But I mean after 101,000 people voted uncommitted We've all been pretty curious to hear what they think now because if they were freaking out before the vote They've got to be freaking out now and we finally got a response and it is genuinely Astonishing that this is their response to disillusioned voters in Michigan So campaign co-chair for Biden's 2024 campaign Mitch Landrieu says quote We are going to continue to talk to them and then ask them to think about the choices and what the Consequences are about electing somebody who wants to have a Muslim ban In other words, you have no choice but to support Biden in November because you have nowhere else to go You're not gonna support Trump. We know that so it's either genocide with Biden or genocide and a Muslim ban with Trump So shut the fuck up and accept your choices Amazing first of all saying vote for us because the other guy is worse Not necessarily the most inspiring message I take it a lot of people aren't going to be motivated to get out and vote affirmatively for Biden Maybe they will vote against Trump, but that right there That's not gonna mobilize voters. Second of all, they are basically saying implicitly that they're not going to change course Meaning that they are effectively willing to risk losing this election to Trump all to continue to appease Then yeah, it is so stunning and I think that this hubris Hinges on the fact that they think that the backlash to Biden supporting genocide is just contained to Michigan But if they actually think that then they are horribly mistaken because activists in Colorado are organizing an uncommitted vote There are two following the success in Michigan's campaign and the largest labor union in Washington state has endorsed an uncommitted Campaign against Biden there as well But you know, I'm sure that they don't care because well Trump's worse So shut the fuck up and accept my support for genocide or get a Muslim ban, too Now listen to Michigan responded and this is what they said quote It's deeply offensive that president Biden keeps suggesting He has a messaging issue among Arab Americans and young people rather than a funding bombs issue Biden's re-election chances will be judged by how much of Gaza is left standing by November It is our hope that Biden chooses the people of America over sending them Yeah, who a blank check for war and occupation. Yeah, well, I'm not holding my breath Now remember that ceasefire that he said that he was trying to broker when he was in an ice cream shop before the Vote took place. Well, he's already throwing cold water on that and it is specifically because the government he's supporting Committed what people are now calling the flower massacre and in response. He says that that's going to complicate negotiations Which is to be expected, but the fact that they did this flower massacre Should be a turning point you would think there's been many points where you think man Maybe this should be a turning point for the Biden administration bombing hospitals and schools and residential areas and cultural centers So don't think that the flower massacre is really going to have an impact on him and sway him at all But nonetheless, this is a pretty big deal as well Al Jazeera reports more than 100 Palestinians have been killed and some 700 others wounded after Israeli troops opened fire on Hundreds waiting for food aid southwest of Gaza City health officials say as the besieged enclave faces an unprecedented hunger crisis People had congregated at al-Rashid Street where aid trucks carrying flour were believed to be on the way Al Jazeera verified footage showing the bodies of dozens of killed and wounded Palestinians being carried onto trucks as no ambulances could reach the area quote We went to get flour the Israeli army shot at us There are many martyrs on the ground and until this moment. We are withdrawing them There is no first aid said one witness reporting from the scene Al Jazeera's ish male Al Ghul Said that after opening fire Israeli tanks advanced and ran over many of the dead and injured bodies Quote it is a massacre on top of the starvation threatening citizens in Gaza. He said they murdered people Who were trying to get flour Now in response the IDF accused the Gazans that they murdered of looting the supplies and Subsequently released this footage here. I'm not gonna play it for you But there's a screenshot showing that dozens died from what they call overcrowding and Trampling so just stop for a moment and think about how twisted this response is from the IDF They were implying that they had no choice But to open fire on them because they were trampling each other So in order to protect people they had to kill people specifically more than a hundred people makes total sense These are the types of genocidal freaks that we're dealing with here Now they also accused them of looting while pretending as if they're not also deliberately starving Palestinians who have been forced to eat grass and drink polluted water just to survive So I mean when one a truck finally is allowed in by Israel Yeah, they were a little bit desperate and they crowded the a truck as any human being who was starving to death would do But to put things into perspective I want to play a clip from Melanie Ward of the organization called medical aid for Palestinians because what she says here about What's happening is chilling just explain first why viewers Why aid isn't being allowed in where is the aid? It's very simple. It's because the Israeli military won't let it in We could end this starvation tomorrow very simply if they would just let us have access to people there But but it's not being allowed. This is what they said on the 7th of October Nothing will go in and and so it remains the case and for people in the north of Gaza is even worse because no food is reaching them Anymore and so my own staff my own colleague a beer has been eating animal feed and horrifyingly the food that they were eating which is food for horse and donkeys is now running out and now they're eating bird seed The statistics also tell their own story One in six children under the age of two in the north of Gaza are now acutely malnourished This is the fastest decline in a population's nutrition status ever recorded And what that means is that children are being starved at the fastest rate the world has ever seen and we could finish it Tomorrow we could save them all but we're not being able to we're witnessing the fastest decline in a population's nutrition status ever recorded again All of this is purposeful Israel is choosing to starve Gazans it is all deliberate and as they allow a to trickle in they then open fire on the Population when it gets a little bit too rowdy as they starve to death because of Israel It's just so sickening and as this war goes on with how many atrocities that we've seen that are just beyond the pale and Indescribable, I don't even know what else to say the fact that it's gone on this long It makes me lose hope for humanity that we can all collectively sit back and watch this happen and There's nothing we can do it's genuinely despicable and nauseating Now congressman Ro Khanna question Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin about Israel's refusal to let aid in and he asked if There's going to be any consequence at all for all the war crimes. They're committing perhaps maybe cutting off weapons at a minimum I know difficult to hear that possibility because we've got to keep giving them weapons to kill innocent Palestinians But as you're gonna see Lloyd Austin had no good response because there won't be any consequences. Let's watch Cindy McCain the head of the world for food program has said that the Palestinian children are starving Extremist settler Stormrich Israel's finance minister stopped American flour Which our taxpayers paid for to get into Gaza if Israel again Ever stops American paid aid from getting into Gaza. Will you commit to not sending future arm sales? Again, that's That's not my decision. I would I would number one do what I've been doing and engage the leadership and Encourage them to to ensure that humanitarian assistance is getting I would just say and one more question that you we need Some consequences when another country is defying you defying the national security advisor defying the president Defying national security memorandum 20 And there has to be some consequence and then I was surprised John Kirby said that Israel is taking more precautions Than the US military would to protect civilian life Mr. Austin Secretary Austin isn't that statement inaccurate given Israel has used hundreds of 22,000-pound dumb bombs when there were no places for civilians to go with the US government ever target terrorists with 2,000-pound bombs in a densely populated area Well, we I mean it depends on the situation and again would we have we done that put put put Use 45% of bonds that are unguided or a 2,000-pound bomb I mean, do you really think that the Israeli government is taking military is taking more precautions than the United States military would I think you know just based upon the results in terms of the lot the Significant loss of life in a mistimes expired sure not right now He was also asked about whether or not weapons to Israel would be cut off since they're using them to commit war crimes and knowingly giving weapons to a state that is using them to commit war crimes as a violation of international law and Of course Lloyd Austin didn't give a direct answer to that even though at the start of that exchange He admitted that Israel has killed more than 25,000 innocent civilians but Doesn't matter Gonna keep funding them gonna keep on vetoing ceasefire resolutions on the UN Security Council It doesn't matter and they are pretending as if they're oblivious to everything that's going on They're acting as if they don't have access to the same information that we all have right when in actuality They know more than us. They have more intelligence of us So if anything they know how much worse it is on the ground but yet not gonna make any changes and to make matters even worse It seems like a ground invasion of Rafa is now imminent Even though the Biden administration has tried to discourage Israel from doing this But of course Israel isn't listening because they know that they can do whatever they want And the Biden administration is still going to continue to support them and to make matters even worse The Biden administration is now expressing concerns that a ground invasion of Lebanon is possible And yet I still don't hear any possible change in policy towards Israel This is a rogue state that needs to be sanctioned and cut off from the international community entirely But we can't even get the US government to agree to stop sending them more weapons that they're using against innocent civilians What the fuck? It's just so Frustrating to see them play dumb and to tell us to shut the fuck up when we criticize Biden over this If you are somebody who is trying to scold anyone for speaking out against this Shame on you if you're a Biden supporter You can vote for him because we all acknowledge that Trump is worse But if you tell people don't you dare criticize him you really need to look in the mirror because maybe you're in a cult Just like MAGA supporters But you know apparently you have to let Biden continue to use our tax dollars in perpetuity to support this Otherwise you clearly haven't thought through the consequences of electing somebody who wants to have a Muslim ban, right Michelangelo? It's so frustrating so disheartening to see this again voters are warning him Months in advance that they will not vote for him if he continues to do this They can choose to take that threat seriously or disregarded. It's up to them, right? Nobody can make them do anything But they don't get to blame voters if they lose in November They don't get to pin the death of American democracy on voters if Trump wins because Biden has chosen to prioritize Net and Yahoo's genocide over American democracy and I'm gonna leave you with some wise words from Mehdi Hassan who explains How foolish Biden is being here by continuously going along with every single thing the Israeli government wants I also think it's crazy that Joe Biden is willing to wreck his presidency potentially and American democracy if Trump gets back in for Benjamin Netanyahu a man who has basically I Can't find the daytime language for it done bad things to every Democratic president in my lifetime Bill Clinton Struggle with Netanyahu, Barack Obama struggle with Netanyahu and now Biden could sacrifice his own presidency for who for BB
