Cory Booker spoke for 25 hours and barely mentioned Gaza. That’s no surprise

#US politicians and the media are focused on our domestic crisis. But we cannot close our eyes to the outside world

"...hours into his 25-hour speech on the Senate floor, the #Democrat #CoryBooker uttered the word “Gaza”. He was not talking about the war. He stepped nowhere near the 50,000 Palestinians killed by the Israeli armed forces since 8 October 2023, or the US’s military and political support of the genocide.

Rather, #Booker was searching for a particularly ludicrous lie... “There are lies about USAID, ... like 5 million condoms going to Gaza or something outrageous,” he said. Considering the other outrageous things #Trump has said about #Gaza – such as his plan to “clean out” the strip to make room for luxury resorts – the remark felt trivializing."
