#blockaded
When the Nazis blockaded food from entering the Netherlands, the resulting famine lasted less than six months, but its effects are still felt today. “We’re on the road for the same kind of thing in Gaza, or worse,” an expert said.
What Comes After Starvation in Gaza?
For the severely malnourished, simply starting to eat normal meals again can cause sickness—even death.

oh so he should have said different things about his desire for it to pass. specifically, that he did not desire it to pass if it did not include a public option blockaded by a member of his coalition who was not a member of his party and had been elected without (D) votes.

Israel stopped aid from going in from minute one. Killed five civilians the first night.
Now 36 more dead per Al Jazeera and all aid totally blockaded.
Yet we're hosting their frucking football team?

Hungary should be expelled from the E.U. and NATO, economically and militarily blockaded, and its people given a choice with regards to Orban: The Mussolini option or the Ceauşescu one.

Yeah, a lot of people reacted to both this ceasefire and the February one with unwarranted praise for Trump, and then went silent in March as Trump lost interest and Israel blockaded Gaza for two months. Because the point is to attack Biden for not putting Israel in its place, not to end the war.

One reason we succeeded when we blockaded the hotels and meeting sites in Seattle and shut down the WTO, was that the cops couldn't respond because the streets were clogged with liberals in dorky costumes and labor unionists having a permitted march.

These Indiana students should write a thank you letter to the university, for providing them real-world experience in how to hunt down stories while being blockaded from hunting down stories.

The path of true journalism.

They should all receive an A+.

Think about the ludicrousness of being offended by me talking about a group, you don't have to be a part of and somehow thinking that Hamas, despite being poor, tech deficient, and blockaded by the country of Israel, somehow is controlling world media.

What you're describing is impossible.

“Israel just wants peace”

Is that why they violated the vast majority of ceasefires and illegally blockaded Gaza for decades?

Colonial countries are, by definition, always the aggressors towards the colonized, not the ones defending themselves.

Presumably because Israel bombed those locations, and blockaded food and other supplies from entering Gaza.

one of the weird things about WWII discourse is that you sometimes see a take so stupid you are compelled to point out that Japan did not actually attack America "for no reason", but because we blockaded them because of the imperialism they were doing
The US never fought to end fascism anywhere. They joined the war because Japan forced their hand, and they saw a great way to make money. After the USSR pretty much had pushed Germany out of eastern Europe and they knew the nazis were going to lose, they jumped in.

I'm not sure I understand the on-again/off-again relationship between Qatar and the US.
In the orange shitgibbon's first term the Saudis blockaded Qatar and we let them even though Qatar was an ally.
Once they funded Kushner's 666 folly it ended.
Now, they're our bestie? Or did a plane buy a base?

29 hours. 17 countries. More than 70 activists.

Greenpeace Belgium activists blockaded the massive LNG hub in Zeebrugge to send a clear message: people in Europe no longer accept this dependency on fossil gas, whether from Russia, the USA, or anywhere else.

Organizers of the Convoy that held Ottawa hostage, blockaded the US/Canada crossings, and created a MoU demanding the dissolution of the then current govt. are insurrectionists, not a grassroots anti-vax movement. They should have been charged with TREASON.

I've not said a word about justifying killing civilians. You're just putting words in my mouth.

Occupied people have the right to fight back against their occupiers. Ukrainians have that right, the people of the Warsaw ghetto have that right, as do the people blockaded into Gaza.

At least 450 activists were aboard the flotilla, a coalition of several vessels seeking to deliver humanitarian aid to the blockaded Palestinian territory. Israeli forces detained them and deported Thunberg and 170 others to countries including Greece and Slovakia.

Stop calling the genocide a war. There has never been any war between Palestine and Isreal, it has always been Israel invading a blockaded prison state to ethnically cleanse it.

The military couldn’t control any major US city except
maybe SF or some other easily blockaded city…unless they’re willing to kill Americans.

We couldn’t stop Haji and friends in a ‘88 Toyota Hileux from routinely getting some motors off from the truck bed and that was in full lethality mode.
Chicago's population is 2.7 million, enough to drive the federal government out their city.
