 CONGRESSMAN JAMIE RASKIN, who is Jewish and one of the prosecutors of Trump's first impeachment, has written the closest any American politician will come to saying FU to both Netanyahu & Hamas THIS ππΎ 22 comments
 Iβm not sure what youβre getting at. Blinken today: βWe are now very actively engagedβ¦ to make sure, to the best of our ability, that people can get out of harmβs way and that the assistance they need β the food, water, medicine β can get in.β It sounds very weak considering that the weapons are really already there and since Israel has already caused mass evacuations, water shortages, the collapse of medical services, etc. @Colby do you know what is going in the House of Representative as i type this? his letter, at the very least, sets the tone for all who are against Netanyahu but are afraid to speak up. @blogdiva Iβm aware. I want Raskin to use his pen to do more than jot down obvious statements like βeveryone should follow international lawβ. Israel isnβt following international law. I want Raskin to explain how he thinks we should reign in Israel. I want him to act like an elected leader, not just write nice things. @Colby so you're saying you do not know how USA House of Representatives work. it's OK to not know how he can't do what you think he can. but if you DO NOT HAVE THE HUMILITY TO ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR IGNORANCE i will not waste my time explaining in earnest why what you're asking from him is not possible. @PaulWermer i so appreciate him. seriously. i just wanna give him a big hug one day. he's gone to hell and back to do the right thing as a Congressman.  @blogdiva naive question by someone who does not understand the discurse in US: would a Republican see the word "liberal" here as a positive value? @ingo_wichmann @blogdiva they got other things on their mind, like either seeing Isreal as the dawn of the 2nd coming, or front line soldiers in their own holy-race wars @blogdivmastodon.social great read and I'm a big fan of him. He's professional enough to keep his manners (which is why I would never survive) and respected enough to be listened to. I hope this is only the very first step though. Bibi needs to go (4/5 Isrealis blame him for this) and peace needs to be forced on them...no more of this politely asking them to behave You may need to check your history. Liberal democracies conducted mass bombings of civilians in WW2.  In all seriousness, I wonder that the expected outcome of voting in Hamas as the government was. |

Hopefully, there will be more voices like this.
Unfortunately, the US approach seems to be: Send bombs first, ask questions later.
