Israel’s bombing of the Qatari capital Doha on Tuesday marked the sixth country the powerful U.S. ally attacked so far this year.
U.S. and Israeli officials told CNN and other outlets on Tuesday that Israel — which the U.S. arms to the tune of billions of dollars each year — gave President Donald Trump’s administration advance warning before carrying out the strike. The attack drew ire from progressive members of Congress, who told The Intercept that the U.S. must stop arming Israel as it accelerates attacks around the globe.
“In the past two years, Israel has bombed nation after nation with no repurcussions—all while conducting a genocide and manufacturing a famine in Gaza using U.S. taxpayer dollars,” said Rep. Summer Lee, D-Penn. “There must be accountability for Israel’s unchecked power and destabilization of the region. The United States must implement an arms embargo immediately.”
Israel has carried out tens of thousands of attacks in Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, Syria, Yemen, and now Qatar since the October 7 Hamas attacks, according to data from the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project. In the last three days, Israel bombed three residential buildings in Gaza City and dropped leaflets ordering residents to evacuate.
And fair enough, just seems like that “leadership” part gets left off the scourging witticisms 98% of the time.
Have the anarcho-libercial-munnists got a national party yet? No? A candidate somewhere? Nothing huh. Well if y’all could quit peeing on our shoes and help get some new Dem blood in, that’d be a lot more helpful than the usual feces flinging hit work straight outta kremlin.
It’s only been ten months and a few weeks, but back in the before times you couldn’t swing a dead meme around here without hitting two or three “Harris supports genocide” wankers who consistently refused to understand our existing political system.
If your pro-genocide-and-nothing-else-ever wing of the party would quit ratfucking progressives, this might not come off like the gloating it is.
BlueMAGA liberals are a parody of themselves.
Tends to be what happens when they purge anyone going against party lines.
Did we not watch the same Harris campaign?
They purged people? Man, you must have some killer mod log on the Harris campaign. Purging their own voters? That’s a bold move, Cotton.
Are you trying to make a point being extremely obtuse?
Trying to make the point that voting for Harris would have bought us some time from the insane turd circus.
We still have the same job to promote progressive views and oust the corporatists but now every single thing is under attack and we have to hear about it all goddamned day. People here who were so loud and proud about not voting at all and the system’s so messed up - Yeah No Shit and Thanks For Fucking Us All, Assholes.
Was going for your trying to say purging people from party meaning killing them instead of them being either removed.
Two things, 1 you can’t complain when people don’t think the system works after said system specifically says don’t vote for us and 2 this is how usa politics have always been. Not for the people but corporations.
But yeah only blame the voters, really good work
Do the corporations actually cast the ballots that determine the course of the country?
I don’t think they do, do they?
we can’t blame the corporations from their decades of PR, it’s only the voters fault. THE PARTY CAN ONLY BE FAILED NEVER FAIL.
I love how every fucking time it’s the voters who constantly get screwed by both parties fault getting blamed. Thank you for continuing that shit trend
It’s not rocket science - voters choose what they want. They chose not to vote against trump.
Were they bedeviled by propaganda from russia? Yes. Doesn’t change the mechanism. Humans vote, their choices are, to some extent, reflected.
We can agree on the myriad ways the electoral system needs changing, but by that first Tuesday in November it’s time to vote.
Last November it was a choice of Harris or trump. I heard so much shit about Harris, I just want to say, “hey. You got what you wanted. You let trump win.” You see this literal fascism rolling out? You did not do the one concrete practical thing you could do to stop it. (Unless you voted Harris which, okay. Fair enough). And yeah - I blame them for that.
