Wait. Sanctions on Iran who responded according to the UN charter but only sympathy and pledge for further support for the aggressor? Hypocrisy gone amuck!!!
Israel is malignant and has its tentacles in Western governments like an Octopus.
Amok, sorry to be that guy, I totally agree with you though
My thoughts exactly. So much for international law.
@@SocietalDefibrilation Tomato - Tomatoe is not the point!
It will only strengthen BRICS and speed up the end of the Dollar as the currency of international trade. We saw that with Russia recently

It becomes clearer and clearer that ‘we’ the general public have no voice … our opinion is unheard! Yet it’s our vote and our money who put these politicians in government …. 😡
Disagree, my vote matters, my voice in my City and County, State government counted. Get involved. Showing up is Half the battle. 🤝🇺🇲🫂☕🍰
So what’s your solution, vote for trump?
@@petrovichbauer5105 This is the trap the duopoly have set. You get 2 choices. It is no longer what they can do for your vote, but 'vote for us or else it'll be so much worse'. So long as the GOP continues its march to fascism, the DNC can continue to move rightward right behind them and expect voters to vote as this is 'The Most Important Election Ever'(TM).
It was clear since Adam. It was clear in Socrates time. It was again clarified at the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth. And it's always been that way. The only difference is people like you who 'suddenly' recognize that their money, vote, resources are used but without our awareness who is using them or for what.

@victorvaca. My post agreeing with your sentiments was swiftly censored.
So-called christian/political adults are still the flipping problems, including in colonized, renamed, "america".
Maybe they prefer Russia or China
How can we USA say that we want a 2-state solution, but not recognizing one of the states it pertains to?
They lie
Gaslighting. Obfuscating the truth. Killing our will a generation at a time.
Good question
bec US is full of Bs
It's just lip service. The US has never wanted a Palestinian state. The only "State" they consider is one that has no right to defend itself and is totally controlled by Israe|.

Jokes on muslims who voted for the twerp.

Blinken will say anything even if it's a load of crap that they tell him to say .

Where are the sanctions on Israel?

They will come, eventually. Many companies are already divesting.
they scare of Israel
They are making laws to forbid sanctions on them. Look it up
Clear and present danger...yeah, those peaceful protesters are what the world fears. Meanwhile...in Gaza...
well, protestors have been irrational and violent, so there's reason to take precautions, which they did, and found the kids to be non-violent … that seems like a sensible handling of a volatile situation … as the report illustrated, some of the people in the protests are not there to moralize on war, they are protesting the murder of their families.

American Exceptionalism> global community
Peace is never on the US agenda
when did the USA ever care about a peaceful Global community 🫤🙄🥱did i miss something ?
The U.S. does not want peace never has just look at its voting record in the UN and they have started over 50 wars themselves since WW2. U.S.A. wealth comes from war!
Do you think the US-UN representative feels like an asshole when voting against the whole world?
No.
Dude looked like he was proud.

They get money from big foundations, so they are biased in favor of US capitalism and against real revolution. Here for example they are defending the USA's "right" to interfere in Venezuelan elections.
They do a lot of good work, but DN is part of the "Compatible Left".

NYC police chief calls peaceful protest "a clear ans present danger", then says students are peaceful an cooperative???!!!??? WTF? Police state/1984!!!
How many students died in the Kent State protest against the Vietnam War? On May 4, 1970, members of the Ohio National Guard fired into a crowd of Kent State University demonstrators, killing four and wounding nine Kent State students. The impact of the shootings was dramatic. The guards fired 67 rounds over a period of 13 seconds, killing four students (Allison Krause, Jeffrey Miller, Sandra Scheuer, and William Knox Schroeder) and wounding nine others.
@ Walt. i posted on another media site the same thing about the Kent State Massacre 1970 at the hands of the Ohio National Guard . one of the unarmed students was shot in the mouth and died instantly . one of the wounded unarmed students was shot in the spine and permanently paralyzed from the chest down . this student demonstration was to protest the escalation of the US war in Vietnam and invasion of Cambodia by President Nixons Administration . a different student demonstration in 1989 in Tiananmen Square in Beijing China was met with even more lethal violence by government military forces . the estimates of those students and civilian deaths range from hundreds to thousands . demonstrations that challenge the authority of the state are dangerous but sometimes lead to necessary reforms and sometimes the dissolution of a state . if a challenged state could speak it would say " But don't play with me cause you're playing with fire "
I hope voters remove Johnson from any political office.

I dunno, Harriet the spy was pretty good too. 😊
How are you doing today
Hmmm. Reminds me that, in the USA, for us the 99%, it does not matter how popular a policy is; there is only a 30% chance of it becoming law. However, for the top 1%, exactly how popular a policy may be is how probable that policy is to become law. It is almost as if "democracy" only exists for the ultra-wealthy. Remember in November, your vote will make little to no difference on what policies are made law. Unless you are a billionaire. Direct action is the only way we have ever been "given" our RIGHTS.
Will there be sanctions against Israel?
No.
Y'all are stuck on yesterday's news.
The coverage here is out of step.
Everyone else is talking about other things now.

The US is ensuring a closer relationship between Russia, China and Iran.

Stop tying unrelated crap to bills. It should be against the rules of Congress.
If the recent article by the Intercept is accurate the US attempt to build a pier for delivering Gaza aid is not going to be fully functional because one or more of the ships delivering the materials to erect the pier have major mechanical issues . If this article is accurate the Gaza aid being shipped will at the very least be limited and wouldn’t it be more practical for the US to properly service our own equipment before sending any type of assistance ( particularly to Israel ) or maybe this was the US plan to appear compassionate knowing they would not fulfill their offer ( BECAUSE OF MECHANICAL DIFFICULTIES ) .

The US Government supports a two state solution, it just doesn't support the existence of a Palestinian State. Make that make sense. It is a shame for the Palestinian people that they aren't deemed to serve some "strategic" interest of the US.
How many of you realize that Palestinians don't want a two-state solution?
Only politicians talk about it, the residents know it's nonsense.
@@georgemetesky5519 Whatever. Nice attempt at deflection. The Israeli's don't want a 2 state solution. Bibi has been upfront that one of his primary goals is to ensure that there is never a viable Palestinian state. Even the more "moderate" members of the Israeli government aren't willing to agree to a Palestinian state. They're only willing to consider something less than a state. So trying to put this all on the Palestinians is a bit rich. The biggest barrier to a 2 state solution is the Israeli government. The next biggest impediment is the US. My comment was directed at the hypocrisy of our government officials constantly saying how the US supports a 2 state solution. And then doing everything it can to back an Israeli government that is committed to destroying any possibility of a Palestinian state (and using our veto power in the UN to make sure the Palestinians remain occupied and under Israeli oppression).
History will remember
Thank you Amy and to your team. Still want to hear about Ukraine and Sudan.

Yes, one of the best from Bob Marley 🇯🇲♥️💛💚🖤✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Why the "Paul Teich" name with a copyright symbol? I'm curious who/what that is. I don't know if Bob himself wrote these lyrics, but I know no one in 2023 wrote them, as this song is decades old. (Although I see some changes in a couple stanzas).
Just curious, that name+copyright symbol seems a little misleading.
Interested in who that is though!
Those aren't Bob Marley's lyrics.
