"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.
@plink@palestine@israel he is on the correct side of history. Biden’s footnote in history will not be for anything positive he’s achieved, but how he was an enabler of the destruction of Gaza and deaths of tens of thousands of Palestinians
"Approximately 13% of poll respondents in six swing states who voted for U.S. President Joe Biden in 2020 but would not vote for him again said that his foreign policy or Israel's war on Gaza were the most important issues determining their vote."

A Chaotic Night at #UCLA Raises Questions About Police Response
"Counterprotesters attacked a pro-Palestinian encampment for several hours without police intervention, and none were arrested. Now, the police response is under investigation."
@plink@palestine@israel think that both the police and the U.C.L.A. administration might just have a pro Israel bias?? Just a bit? No police response. None of the violent pro Israel attackers arrested. Next the peaceful pro Palestinian prostest camp is broken up and the non violent were arrested.
Maybe pro Israel- just a tad. Ashamed of my community. USC is also a disgrace
article contains links to a statement by over 1,000 [#Jewish professors opposing equating #antiZionism with #antisemitism. Also contains link to a statement by Jewish students of #Columbia with the opposite position]
@plink@palestine@israel When AIPAC and other lobby groups can fund and influence so many US politicians you are no longer a true functioning democracy.
@plink So Israel's nazis say they'll use 'imprecise missiles', Translated from #Nazis dialect:
> "We'll kill more civilians if you don't give us weapons to kill more civilians." @palestine@israel
"Criticism of the state of Israel, the #Israeli government, policies of the Israeli government, or #Zionist ideology is not—in and of itself—antisemitic" says letter
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.
Over 3000 shipments of bombs, equipment, spare parts and new units is forgotten in the Shaddow on one stinky shipment.
The hypocrisy of Biden now admitting that US supplied weapons were used in killing of (innocent) civilians, despite the fact that as late as last week, he shipped 100s of 2000pound bombs into Israel.
@MarvClowder@LALegault It is all part of the circus act. Just 2 weeks ago, they said they were working together with Egypt, UAE and Israel to plan the Rafah operation, helping with displacement of Palestinians and support Israeli attacks against Hamas targets.
Now, after 3000 shipments of weapons and spare parts, they have delayed ONE single shipment and all media is talking about is that.
They are not even talking about the fact that Israel has completely cut off all humanitarian aid from Rafah crossing leaving over 1.4M displaced palestinians with no food, water or medicine.

When #Che went to Gaza
The iconic revolutionary visited Gaza to inspire a popular uprising against #Israeli dominance, writes Yousef al-Helou.
@plink@palestine@israel You’re trying to push a claim that Che was not an antisemite? Good luck with that. He only exceeded his antisemitism with his misogyny. Best read up.
@immibis@israel@palestine@plink@Double_Ogre no you don’t. Germany rejected an amendment by nutcases that would have tied a German passport to an “explicit affirmation” of Israel’s right to exist.
@plink@palestine@israel@SteveSilent As Cornell faculty members, we are outraged by the University administration’s suspension of six students who participated in the Gaza Solidarity Encampment. The six suspended students have represented the encampment in conversations with the Administration. The Cornell administration has targeted these students specifically for being the alleged leaders of student protests. It has unilaterally and summarily imposed this retaliatory sanction without any due process. LIEBERWITZ | Faculty Petition Against Student Suspensions https://cornellsun.com/?p=15253963
