It should also not be controversial to defend libraries, but they're also being attacked by the publishers, Moms for Liberty, and at one point, NYC Mayor Adams.
I wonder why that might be? I wonder who's responsible? I wonder if this is the result of a deliberate state policy? I wonder which state that might be? I guess we'll never know.
The author correctly names the perpetrator in the second paragraph, and her argument regarding Ms. Rachel is self-evidently correct. Everything ender in the article is trash. I'd be ashamed to write for an imperialist rag like The Atlantic, and I hope that somewhere in her heart, Julie Beck is.
I know she probably didn't choose the subtitle, but if you're willing to let the editor butcher your article to this degree ("Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry", liberal use of passive voice, giving credence to Israeli govt claims), you're soft pedalling an active genocide. Congratulations.
I probably shouldn't direct my rage at the author, but it's still an infuriating read. I can't tell if an article like this does more harm or good, on balance.
It should not be controversial at all to stand up for human rights. Children, and all human beings, need food to live. Humans should not die in our world from entirely preventable malnutrition. It is wrong to not feed these children, and it is wrong to starve any group of people, for any reason.
