A US Department of the Interior staffer has become the first Jewish political appointee to publicly resign in protest of #US support for Israel’s #genocide.
Lily Greenberg Call, a special assistant to the chief of staff, accuses #JoeBiden of using Jews to justify US policy.
The new shipment was announced "right after the #StateDepartment admits Israel has 'likely' used #US -supplied weapons in violation of humanitarian law," said one journalist.
WSJ reports that the #Biden administration notified Congress on Tuesday that it was moving forward with more than $1 billion in new #weapons deals for #Israel.
Joe Biden continues to fully support the Gaza genocide because he does not believe it will hurt him politically, and because he has no empathy for the Palestinians. This is the same arrogance that brought down LBJ over the Vietnam war.
No, #biden supports the Gaza genocide because he's a racist, sociopath and really doesn't care if he wins. The US empire will still be run by sociopaths if ppl refuse to vote out the duopoly. Biden cares so little about the future that he's running the economy into the ground with his nonstop wars, cold and hot, against China and Russia, and people are still too stupid to get it.
"Any objective observer knows Israel has broken international law, it has broken #American law, and, in my view, Israel should not be receiving another nickel in #US military aid," #Sanders said.
"Israel is fighting a just and necessary war," asserted U.S. Senator from Arkansas, #TomCotton, in support of Israel continuing its genocide in Gaza.
The Senator also suggested that "the House has no choice but to impeach #Biden over delayed Israel aid." This highlights the extent to which U.S. senators supported by #AIPAC funding are willing to go to ensure Israel remains armed with U.S. weaponry.
US House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell sent a letter to President Biden expressing “alarm” and concern about the decision “to pause” a weapons shipment to Israel.
They also asked for clarification by the end of the week.
Biden confirmed in an interview that US munitions used by Israel have killed Palestinian civilians.
#US / AIPAC urges Biden admin to reverse Israel weapons shipment freeze
[Pro-genocide/Israel lobby] #AIPAC called on Congress to challenge the #Biden administration to reverse its decision to pause a shipment of bombs to Israel given concerns over #Rafah, offering its sharpest criticism of Biden's policy to date.
"Delaying this arms transfer is a dangerous and counterproductive message. It emboldens Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah, and undermines America's commitments to all our allies. Congress must demand the Biden Admin reverse this delay and ensure Israel has what it needs to win this war,”
@plink@palestine@israel Yup. #America and #Biden were losing the moral high ground by supporting the holocaust abroad, but now by choosing to deploy the same tactics on their own citizens they've lost absolutely any distinction between America and #Russia .
By the way, be prepared for Trump to win the next election. Biden needed the anti-genocide votes he just lost.
