”Israel isn’t killing people just to kill them” except when they are doing precisely that. Have you already forgotten the assassination of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh? What about the March of Return in 2018 when Israeli snipers killed hundreds of Palestinians protestors and maimed thousands more,…

The music festival changed venues to that locations (right next to the world’s largest open-air prison) less than a week before it took place. The October 7th attacks were in the works for over two years. They were not the target. They were just in the way. If they were Palestinian you would call them “human shields”.

Because it’s contested land. Because there is no such thing as an “Iron Dome.” Because it took the better part of a day for IDF forces to arrive. And there’s some question as to whether IDF mistakenly killed Israelis as they were firing at Hamas. This was a massive national security failure. To be clear, I’m anti-war.…

“largest open-air prison” because if we called it a ghetto or a concentration camp it wouldn’t be long before someone said the N word and hurt some Jewish feelings.

Lindsey Graham literally called on Israel to level Gaza. Nikki Haley asked Israel to “finish them.” These are literal calls for genocide, but that’s totally cool with Congress. Fuck these hypocrites.

Do Palestinians have a right to defend themselves? Because the blockade that Israel has been enforcing against Gaza is an act of war according to international law.

I mean, Israel started it back in 1948. Even earlier if you wanna count the initial colonization . . .

Israel has not proven who who hit the hospital. They say they didn’t do it, and their imperial benefactors in the US government back them up. But they’ve only proffered up two pieces of evidence. One was a video of a rocket that further analysis by the NY Times (a mouthpiece for the US State Department) showed could…

I see your point. But listen to yourself... “their own people’s deaths are their fault”...

Israel was living peacefully next to Gaza? What? Do you want to ignore the illegal settlements and frequent murders of Palestinian civilians by the IDF? 

It’s Israeli airplanes, sent by Israeli commanders, at the behest of Israeli officials, destroying the lives of Gazans who are subject to Israel’s authority.  They are absolutely being executed without due process.  You can couch it in whatever bullshit language you want.  Gaza is not an independent state.  It is…

Completely disgraceful for democrats to do that to their own for speaking the truth.

I’m not seeing the double standard.

I don’t understand what everyone thought she’d say? As a Palestinian-American, she has every right to express her point of view. No one should expect her to be anything less than true to herself. She has family in the West Bank. Others in Congress have said worse. Others in Congress would be irate if their stance was…

This House is absolutely bonkers nuts. I'm more and more convinced we live in the bizarro world timeline for most of my adult life. Calling for peace in a conflict with disproportionate force being used to kill masses of civilians does not deserve a vote of censure. 

And these 22 Dems will stand with Israel, after they’ve killed more civilians, as they take an even more active role in the, “security,” in Gaza. More apartheid. More suffering. More rationing of fuel, water, basic life necessities.

22 Democrats supporting the censure resolution

I’m old enough to remember the polling that showed there would be a red wave ahead of the 2022 midterms.

Yea had my parents crow about this and the first thing I asked them was ‘how many polls have you answered in the last year....and if you give me a number, what were they?’

So, it should tell you something about the state of the Democratic Party that this man is presently polling ahead of President Biden in key swing states.
