"The Left Abandoned Me."

Really, Ms. Beckerman.... And I suppose, Charlie..... "The Left" abandoned you?

What--if I may be so bold as to inquire--have you all "abandoned"?

"Israel appears to use white phosphorus in Gaza, video shows," Meg Kelly, 10/12 WAPO

"More than 1,500 people dead in Gaza and hundreds of thousands displaced by the Israeli military’s relentless bombardment of the Gaza Strip," 10/13 WAPO

I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed. We are fighting human animals, and we will act accordingly.

--Yoav Gallant, Israel Defense Minister

"Israel orders 1 million Gazans to evacuate; U.N. says that’s impossible" 10/13 WAPO

"Israel says it will end Hamas rule in Gaza as casualties soar"--End Hamas rule. Maybe drive them into the sea? I mention this, apropos of nothing.

"The toll in Gaza from six days of airstrikes has reached 1,537 killed, including 500 children and 276 women, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry — rapidly approaching the more than 2,000 killed in the 2014 war even before the start of the ground invasion." WAPO 10/13

“Humanitarian aid to Gaza? No electrical switch will be lifted, no water hydrant will be opened and no fuel truck will enter until the Israeli hostages are returned home. Humanitarian for humanitarian. And nobody should preach us morals."

--Israel Katz, Israel's Defense Minister.

Israel is responding to the crimes by Hamas by committing increasingly brutal crimes against humanity....

But meanwhile..... What--the half a dozen Americans who are still "the left"? They've "abandoned" you?

Hold on.... Let wipe my weepy eyes, for the shame of it all.
