Israel's mass detonation of pagers and walkie-talkies in Lebanon, acts which killed children and injured thousands of civilians, is terrorism. Absolutely disgusting that someone posted these outside Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's office after she raised concerns re the illegality of what Israel did.
Israel killed 500 people today in Lebanon, but sure, yeah, let's make up stuff that Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib never said to distract attention from the escalation in Israel's genocidal violence.
Blinken lies, Palestinians die. Damning report by ProPublica based on gov't docs: the Department of State overturned conclusions of USAID & the Bureau of Population, Refugees, & Migration that Israel violated US law by blocking aid & weapons needed to be cut off. propublica.org/article/gaza-p…
CNN's Dana Bash and David Chalian should apologize to Rashida Tlaib for knowingly misrepresenting her statements. This is yet another example of the unacceptable anti-Palestinian bias in our media.
Thank you, Rep. Adam Smith, for leading this letter, signed by more than 100 Members of Congress, demanding justice & accountability in Israel's brutal killing of US citizen Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi. Over the last 20 years, Israel killed at least 10 US citizens w/ impunity. This must end.
.Secretary Antony Blinken, lying to Congress is not "normal." You ignored ALL the expert advice in your dept. unanimously concluding that Israel was blocking the delivery of humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza. You did so in order to keep the weapons flowing to Israel to commit genocide.
Important 🧵 from Congressman Jamaal Bowman on why the US must refund UNRWA as Israel continues to starve the Palestinian people in Gaza in violation of Section 620I of the Foreign Assistance Act. Instead of punishing Palestinians, we should be enforcing our own laws & ending weapons to Israel.
Today Bernie Sanders, Senator Peter Welch, & Senator Jeff Merkley stood on the right side of history by introducing resolutions to block $20b of weapons to Israel. The must Senate must block these weapons or else the US will be even more deeply complicit in Israel's genocide of Palestinians.
Thank you Bernie Sanders, Senator Jeff Merkley, and Senator Peter Welch for taking this historic step. The weapons included in this $20 billion proposed transfer have been used in apparent war crimes in Gaza. For a detailed breakdown, read more here: imeupolicyproject.org/memos/joint-re…
