This is what a person of substance and principle looks and sounds like: This is the quality of person that should be POTUS There is no world in which the intentional forced famine of 1.1 million people cannot be considered genocide.PeerTube

in reply to Gary Hill • • •Chris Van Hollen, a Democratic senator, said there was ambiguity about the state department’s position but if it was saying Israel was currently in compliance under the terms of NSM-20, “their decision is totally detached from the reality on the ground, especially with respect to the required standards for the delivery of humanitarian aid into and within Gaza”.
Dylan Williams, vice-president for government affairs at the Center for International Policy, said: “Treating the assurances received from Israel as sufficient in the face of deepening famine, disproportionate civilian casualties and repeated threats of an offensive in Rafah against US wishes renders NSM-20 an empty gesture in its first outing, and functionally greenlights Israel continuing to use our weapons against US law, interests and values.”

I believe this is the second time. The first was a couple weeks earlier. I'll see if I can find it.
