An observation from George Orwell — “those who control the present, control the past and those who control the past control the future” — is acutely relevant to how President Biden talked about Gaza during his speech at the Democratic convention Monday night.

Except the US is not in control of this situation…
I guess the US better stop sending money and weapons then.
Or else what?
Or else we’ll continue being party to genocide.
Lol. Seriously?
Were you out there protesting when the US invaded Iraq or Afghanistan?
