US Senator Chris van Hollen (Democrat, Maryland) spoke of the war crimes now being committed in Gaza: <https://www.newsweek.com/famine-imminent-dem-senator-demands-biden-intervene-gaza-1869330> or https://t.co/tAFSKmA5qZ "Kids in Gaza are now dying from the deliberate withholding of food," Van Hollen said. "In addition to the horror of that news, one other thing is true. That is a war crime. It is a textbook war crime. And that makes those who orchestrate it, war criminals." Earlier on Monday, Gaza's Health Ministry announced that more than 12,300 Palestinian children have been killed since Israel's war on Hamas in Gaza began in October, the Associated Press reported. ===================== It amazes me that with a population of 335 million the US can come up with better presidential candidates than an insane insurrectionist and an enabler of genocide. But rebarbative as Trump is, with every day the mass slaughter in Gaza continues, Biden looks worse. And even though what is happening is largely hidden from the public by the censorship and spin of the US media, more and more people are becoming aware of it. There are loud complaints about alleged Russian attempts to influence US elections, but complaints about Israeli attempts to influence the elections are muted. But as news filters through the spin curtain, Biden's electability diminishes. -- Steve Hayes from Tshwane, South Africa Web: http://www.khanya.org.za/stevesig.htm Blog: http://khanya.wordpress.com E-mail - see web page, or parse: shayes at dunelm full stop org full stop uk
