I read America’s voice as Ralph Wigum. Which feels about right given our braindead approach to this war.
There’s part of WW2 I didn’t know about until I visited the Holocaust memorial/museum in DC–that Germany tried to deport the Jewish people first, which led to the US Congress voting against offering refuge to 20,000 Jewish children that could have been sent to the US. This is just one example of shit I wished I would have learned in school.
That action of denying asylum during WW2 came to mind immediately when I think about how poor our track record continues to stand when it comes to offering enough refuge to people blatantly (US Afghanistan exit), or via back-channels (Gaza), affected by our foreign policy choices.
