@HeatherJ_Israel The cause has already been lost.
Israel will never be considered legitimate, and nor will its supporters.
There are consequences for commiting, denying, ignoring, or supporting genocide.
Also worth keeping in mind that "impeachment" is a very mild penalty for what Hegseth has done (at least 120 individual child murders). Really, he should be delivered to the ICC on a little wheeled cart like Hannibal Lecter.
Israel must immediately open all Gaza crossings and let humanitarian aid in, starting with new tents and modular housing, clean water, nutrient-rich food, medicines. If by 9am tomorrow Israel still refuses, any principled leader would send humanitarian vessels to break the siege.

its not lost on me that there're always plenty of absentees when its time to do the bidding of the masses, but can you imagine a world where hakeem failed to whip votes for a funding bill for israel?!?!
@EvanJWiner@RabbiWolpe What a deflection! Vain & misguided, but a deflection nonetheless, and very notably, not a denial.
I don’t call for Israel’s destruction but I do think apartheid, ethno-supremacist, genocidal states should be radically reformed — and if that’s not possible, dismantling will do.
PAY ATTENTION: This confirms what other pro-Palestine, anti-Israel leaders have told me: “free Palestine” means “right of return” to Israel of every Palestinian in the world, equal votes of Palestinians and Jews, the demographic destruction of Israel and renaming of it as Palestine.
We need to stop selling weaponry to foreign governments that use it to do the worst things, including genocide and apartheid and war. https://t.co/7nhYsPB3q6
@NadavPollak It’s already over.

My grandfather was an eyewitness to Kristallnacht as a Viennese Jew. He described it as the most terrifying moment of his life.
What resembles Kristallnacht today are the gangs of U.S.-armed terrorists attacking Palestinian villages. Not the Americans bravely protesting them.
