House Passes Bill That Would Force Biden To Give Paused Bomb Shipment to Israel
Not a joke.
"The House on Thursday passed a bill designed to force President Biden to lift a pause on a shipment of 2,000-pound bombs to Israel.
The legislation is considered symbolic...and it’s not expected to be brought up for a vote in the Senate. It’s seen as an effort by Republicans to show that the GOP is the staunchly pro-Israel party"
Paraphrasing HillaryDems upset at recent polls- voters dissatisfied with #GenocideJoe losing in 5/7 swing states don't understand the importance of ethnic cleansing in Gaza creating an existential threat to our segregation values.
"I can no longer in good conscience continue to represent this administration amid President Biden's disastrous, continued support for Israel's genocide in Gaza," Interior assistant Lily Greenberg Call wrote
"In a separate interview with The Associated Press, she criticized Biden for "making Jews the face of the American war machine,""
Doctors Without Borders said that the intensification of the onslaught by Israeli forces on #Rafah has forced it to stop providing lifesaving care at Rafah Indonesian Field hospital as of 12 May.
US Ambassador Jacob Lew says that the US is continuing to generously send more weapons to Israel.
In an interview with Israel's channel 12, #US#Ambassador Jacob Lew said that the occupation state has not crossed the red line in #Rafah and that there will be no interruption in US aid to Israel.
He added that "it is wrong to believe that anything has fundamentally changed in the relationship between Washington and Tel Aviv."
"As everyone is focusing on the decision to delay one set of ammunition, everything else keeps flowing."
"... the apparent contradiction shows that the US is willing to go to extraordinary lengths to continue arming Israel, even at the expense of Washington’s own laws"
"“What those inconsistencies show you is that the administration does know what is happening,” said Annie Shiel, the US advocacy director at the Center for Civilians in Conflict (CIVIC)...‘This report is not honest. US assistance, US arms transfers do need to stop now.'”
I'M CURIOUS what young voters out there calling #Biden "#GenocideJoe" think of #TheOrangeMenace offering to "scrap" U.S. #Environmental policy in exchange for a $1 BILLION dollar donation to his campaign should he be reelected.
A conservative plan for Donald Trump’s potential transition into the presidency calls for dozens of prisoners to be executed, according to HuffPost. An 887-page plan by Project 2025, led by the ultra-conservative Heritage Foundation, says that if elected, Trump should make a concerted effort to execute the remaining 40...
This is why it’s especially irritating when the bothsiderists go on with the #BidenSoOld stuff, or the tankies go on with the #GenocideJoe thing, or the handwringing over whether journalists should side with democracy and so on.
This stuff is right out in the open. Do bothsiderists, tankies or journalists think they’ll be safe under this kind of thing?
@rbreich Why is the default "you're not going to get more weapons" and not "make peace with your neighbors" Why are we giving weapons to Israel in the first place? Why don't you call for the sanction of Israel NOW because of the multitude of atrocities their country has committed? Israel is a genocidal state. Why would we support that? What benefit does an American get from supporting the death of the families of the Palestinians? #genocidejoe#freepalestine
"Here we are, not 75 years later, but just seven and a half months later - and people are already forgetting that Hamas unleashed this terror," Biden said in his keynote at the official Holocaust memorial ceremony at the U.S. Capitol
Did Israel coordinate with Egypt before reoccupying the Rafah crossing? - Israel's control of the Philadelphi Corridor raises questions on whether key peace agreements with Cairo are at stake (Middle East Eye, 2024-05-07)
———
“Israel's control of the Rafah crossing may present a threat to a September 2005 agreement with #Egypt, known as the Philadelphi Accord.”
“‘Israel occupying Rafah means occupying the Gaza side of the Philadelphi Corridor, which would be a violation of the 2005 addendum to the 1979 peace treaty,’ International Crisis Group analyst Joost Hiltermann told Middle East Eye.
"’It is doubtful that the Egyptians would have greenlighted this.’
“An Egyptian military source claimed that Egypt has not authorised the Rafah crossing operation…”
SOMEONE is going to be elected president of the U.S. in November. It can either be the guy you yell at who changes his approach, or the guy you yell at who puts you in a camp. Up to you.
@cohomologyisFUN@StillIRise1963 if "their countrie better" means the genocide of Palestinian people, fuck your countrie, you speak as the privileged you are. Your countrie, your problem, not like US use to do with other countries, solve it, or do you expect the rest of the world to forget #genocidejoe
The problem of US is the bravery of beeing out of range, all the wars and dead are far away, until one day, than you learn.
When words are not enough to describe the coming horror ⬇️
600,000 children in Rafah have no safe place to seek refuge, and we warn against forcing them to displace or attack them.

Hey, as we speak, #Israel is murdering civilians in the "safe zone" of Rafah that it decided to invade, despite stating numerous times it was not going to happen.
So, when you don’t vote because YOU THINK you’re making some kind of statement, know that the statement you’re making is that you don’t care about trans people, gay people, Black people, Latinos, women and girls.
@StillIRise1963 Well the choice is between #GenocideJoe and #OrangeHitler, no matter what you vote for, the results will be the same for people around the world and Americans will possibly get a taste of their own medicine and enjoying the US foreign policy to be implemented (lightly) on them.
