LIVE: Ending Unconditional Support for Netanyahu’s War Machine

LIVE: Today, I am offering two amendments. 1. NO unfettered military aid for Netanyahu’s war on the Palestinian people. 2. Restore funding for UNRWA so that children in Gaza don’t starve.

[@Tony-un3vf]

Why is it that Bernie Sanders is the only person in congress that has the moral insight, integrity and courage to stand up for what is right? All these other legislators and leaders are spineless because they can’t seem to stand up and speak out. I wish Bernie would have been our president. Even at his age, he has his wits and character. A true American patriot and leader.

Thank you for standing up and using your voice for the innocent citizens of both Palestine and Israel. Many Israelis around the world are protesting, speaking out against their country's atrocities as organized and committed by Netanyahu's administration. We should certainly do no less. We must hold all those accountable who are acting against the humanitarian aid and the cessation of the attempted genocide of the Palestinians.

[@norway178]

I didn't know that they were using US troops to block aid. I'm surprised they are doing it. Netanyahu must have brainwashed them. If the Us troops can be used to block aid, President Biden needs to use them to deliver aid. They might enjoy a humanitarian mission for once.

Israel's economy is suffering greatly. Their Enviable Social Security Net is suffering. Their FREE Healthcare, Daycare Services, Education Programs & Subsidized Housing was a model for the World. At the expense of the Indiginous Population. Since the Reserves are out fighting, the Palestinians cannot work and approx. 30,000 Israelis have been displaced from the fighting in the North with Lebanon. WHY SHOULD THE AMERICAN TAXPAYERS FUND ISRAELS UTOPIA, while Americans suffer with substandard social programs and housing? The Netenyahoo Cabal should be Forced Out & PROSECUTED FOR WAR CRIMES & CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY!

[@parry3231]

Take the side of peacefulness ❤ We all have to be outspoken and not complacent for the betterment of our lives with humanity and providing a healthy relationship with each other. No more wars and the profitable market of weapons and military aid to war mongers. Ukraine isn't the only country that is being held hostage by a war that is a disgusting battle against the innocent people who are caught up in this war of aggressive actions that are happening because of a crazy and dangerous person who is hellbent on destroying their lives and their Democracy. Netanyahu is a dangerous and evil person who is motivated by greed and arrogance in his cruel and murderous interferences in the Palestinians lands and their ability to survive. We should not give him any kind of support for his actions and his desire to eradicate the innocent people of Gaza. Thanks Bernie for taking the time to share this information with us ❤ We all are responsible for this opportunity to work hard to help the people who are dying and are visibly left to be the victims of this war of aggressive actions that are made to steal their lands and to kill everyone in this process of constant attacks. Starvation is a very horrendous thing to do to people who have no way to defend themselves or to escape from the tyrannical megalomaniac who is not concerned by the circumstances that are happening because of this military action. Peace in Gaza and Ukraine ❤

Your government won't even agree on raising the minimum wage or helping families or children. They are certainly not going to give the people of the US anything.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin *Netanyahu knew exactly what he was doing when he ordered the attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus* two weeks ago, *killing Iran’s top soldier Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Zahedi, among other Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commanders.* This attack went well beyond the existing tactics of *limiting the arms flow to Hezbollah, the Lebanese movement, or pushing back Iranian-backed groups from its northern border.* *This was an attempt to eliminate the Iranian leadership in Syria.* After six months, the war in Gaza is going badly. *Israeli ground forces are facing stubborn Palestinian resistance which shows no sign of surrendering or fleeing, amid the biblical scale of destruction and the real suffering of its people.* Once again, *Israel needed to play the victim, to sustain the myth that it is fighting for its existence. What better time for Netanyahu, the gambler, to throw the dice and attack an Iranian consulate,* knowing full well what that meant? The US also knew what Netanyahu was doing, *which was to try to drag America into an attack on Iran for at least the third time in 14 years.* That is why the US told the Iranians directly they had nothing to do with the strike and only knew about it when the planes were in the air. *Iran does not want a war, but it is capable of responding.* So, *if it does not want a war, the message to the US is that it has to restrain its wilful, adolescent child, Israel,* the child that has been pampered by its parent for so long, it thinks it can do to the region whatever it wants. *Israel has now led its backers into a hell hole in which there is no peace or even prospect of one.* The message Israel wanted to put out was that despite appearances, Israel has allies in the region who are prepared to defend it. Israel may be celebrating the fact they have real allies, but by doing so they are fatally undermining their friends’ legitimacy. Iran has made its point and Israel is weaker as a result. *This is the first time it was attacked directly by Iran who, like Hamas, gave it the impression it was not interested in war.* It is also the first time that Israel was told by Biden not to strike back. After such an attack the visuals look bad: Israel needs others to defend it and is not free to choose how to strike back. The attack leaves its protector the US casting around for policy options. All, at the moment, look bad. -MEE U.N. expert says *Israel has committed acts of genocide in Gaza* US warns Israel amid Gaza carnage it doesn’t have long before support erodes 👇 On 1 April 2024, *an Israeli airstrike destroyed the Iranian consulate annex building adjacent to the Iranian embassy* in Damascus, Syria, *killing 16 people, including a senior Quds Force commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Zahedi, and seven other IRGC officers. Two civilians were killed in the attack.*
