“Look, it is true that Gazans did at one point elect Hamas. But if you think that makes them all complicit in war crimes their government commits, then boy, do I have bad news for you about decades of U.S. foreign policy.” - @iamjohnoliver https://t.co/pDGMd2gcM2
Make no mistake: these human rights abuses are being carried out with U.S. weapons, U.S. funding, and with “no red lines.” And now we are set to vote on an additional $14 billion with no restrictions or conditions. The United States Congress should not fund violations of U.S. and international law.
I’m going as a “Humanitarian Pause” for Halloween. I punch your kid 8x in the head, stop to throw some raisins & an Advil at him, then start punching again.
Stopping “collective punishment” bombing means thousands of kids stay alive. How terribly unreligious of a position by @AIPAC. Thanks for pulling the mask off.
Yesterday I met with family members of hostages currently in Gaza.
They said: “We can do it all. We can fight for our families held hostage by Hamas, stand against occupation, stand with impacted Israelis, stand up for innocent Palestinians.”
May their humanity be an example.
i don't know how anyone could have seen images of a palestinian father carrying pieces of his children in two separate bags and somehow think the moral choice is to call for more
From Minneapolis to DC, I am inspired by all those in the Jewish community raising their voices for peace and humanity in the face of violence.
It is a reminder that our horror at the attacks on Israelis cannot blind us from what is happening to Palestinian civilians.
Praying that love will overcome hate.
Let me make it plain:
The murder of Israeli civilians by Hamas is horrific & unacceptable. And the murder of Palestinian civilians is a horrific & unacceptable response from Israel.
Vengeance should not be a foreign policy doctrine. Our humanity is at stake. #CeasefireNOW
Let me be crystal clear- as a jewish grandchild of holocaust survivors I am always on the side of the people imprisoned in Ghettos and not on the incredibly armed and modern army who serves as their jailers. You're not going to be able to bully me into another opinion.
