The top U.S. official working on the humanitarian situation in Gaza told aid groups in August that the U.S. would not consider withholding weapons from Israel for blocking food and medicine from entering the enclave — a rare admission by someone in the administration.

At the Aug. 29 meeting in Washington, Lise Grande told the leaders of more than a dozen aid organizations that the U.S. could potentially consider other tactics to convince Israel to allow life-saving aid into Gaza — such as applying pressure through the United Nations, but stressed that the administration would continue to support Israel and would not delay or stop weapons shipments.

    I’m with you-- thats currently my plan, voting uncommitted in the general unless Harris stops the weapons before election day. Its about the smallest thing I could ask for and still ask for anything at all. I fear that all future US elections will all be manipulated to follow this pattern and itll be tough to break out of.
