    Good. Obviously it won’t pass, but we have to start somewhere.

    @Sunshine
    Last week Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) announced that he had introduced legislation to block a $20 billion arms sale to Israel.

    The Joint Resolutions of Disapproval would 👉prevent the delivery of 💥offensive 💥weapons that the State Department approved in August, just days before ceasefire talks were set to resume.

    The package includes fighter jets and advanced air-to-air missiles.

    “Sadly, and illegally, much of the carnage in Gaza has been carried out with U.S.-provided military equipment,” said Sanders in a statement.

    🔥“Providing more offensive weapons to continue this disastrous war would violate U.S. and international law.
    The sales would reward Netanyahu’s extremist government, even as it continues to cause massive destruction in Gaza,
    undermine the prospects of a ceasefire deal that would secure the release of the hostages,
    and advance its effort to illegally annex the West Bank.

    Congress must act to save lives, uphold U.S. and international law, and stand up for U.S. interests.

    We must end our complicity in Israel’s illegal and indiscriminate military campaign,
    which has caused mass civilian death and suffering.”

    The effort was cosponsored by Senators Jeff #Merkley (D-OR), Peter #Welch (D-VT), and Brian #Schatz (D-HI).

      You shouldn’t plug in your hat, also, it’s not iron.

      Why would you want to deprive Isreal of a tool that does nothing but decrease civilian lives?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
