Following the opening salvo in Israel’s bombardment of Iran, many members of Congress rushed to declare their support for the Jewish state. Some went further, demanding the White House defend Tel Aviv from retaliation. A small number of lawmakers criticized Israel and urged Washington to stay out of the conflict.
The article offers a set of post from US politicians calling to support Israel and even a regime change. It also points out that a handful of lawmakers did oppose the Israeli strikes. Like Rep. Massie, who was the only member of Congress to point out that the attack Israel launched on Friday was an offensive war of aggression.
Large numbers in Congress can get fucked.
Republicans are so caught up in the evangelical cult that they’re ready to sacrifice American lives at another country’s alter.
Something. Something. Something. End Times. God’s Chosen People.
-Republicans.
Sadly not exclusive to gop. Many dems happy to do the same.
See chuck only using taco to get trump mad at Iran
Big deal. The other side sacrificed the countrys liberty for another’s problems.
Expand on that “thought”
Let Israel fight their own war. They can’t do shit without our backing. I don’t care if they survive. They are genocidal maniacs and I want to see them put in their place. Of course, that’s not the opinion of our “leaders.” Sigh.
I remember seeing this almost a decade ago now I swear.
Netanyahu was worried the US would achieve a deal with Iran and struck first.
A handful of lawmakers did oppose the Israeli strikes, however. Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) argued that Tel Aviv’s war interfered with Trump’s effort to strike a new nuclear deal with Iran. “Netanyahu wasn’t trying to help diplomacy; he was trying to destroy diplomacy. How do we know? They reportedly targeted and killed Iran’s chief negotiator with Trump,” he wrote.
Why are there like 3 senators worth a shit. It’s always Murphy, the dude from Hawaii and Sanders doing anything worthwhile. Interestingly I think the other Connecticut Senator sucks worse than most other Senate Democrats.
this is exactly what netanyahu wanted, drag the US into war
I’ve been wondering what the endgame is. All out war against Islam (essentially Islamic states), maybe?
Evangelist Christian Armageddon is the endgame lmao
Once the Christians and Jews kill all the Muslims then the Christians kill the Jews and Jesus returns to bring everyone up Heaven’s Chimney. Since that’s not real the Christians left living in the created hellscape will just move on to killing off sects labeled apostates and the meek inherit a poisoned, inhospitable Earth or whatever
Agaaaaain?
Ugh.
Stay out of tall buildings for a while, everyone.
Sorry but USA isn’t being dragged into war… They have full knowledge and participation of what happens, so you must assume that is coming to a war for his own… It’s not a pour innocent baby that have no involving… The opposite it’s just being naive
That’s okay; I forgive you.
I am trying to think of a time the US went to war with a plan and achieved something, rather than realising it was a mistake they got baited into. That’s kind of what their military prowess is known to be; tactically challenged.
Game on? Republicans are so pathetic when they try to sound tuff
Also Dems if you read the article, don’t forget that previously some of them worked hard to reach the same thing…
Nah, how about boots on the ground for Ukraine?
sorry best we can do is wishy washy words of support and revocation of all military aid
I would not trust US troops in Ukraine not to suddenly switch sides and shoot the Ukrainians in the back.
“The intelligence we get from the Israelis is too valuable to go against them.” -The US
I personally don’t care. If you don’t treat others right, you are bad people. Collusion included. I’ve been mad at the US ever since they dragged us into the Iraq war with their lies about WMD’s, and they have tons of other bad acts as well - in Vietnam, Venezuela, and more.
I think that now is a perfect time for us Europeans to start pulling away from the hypocrisy.
Their children won’t be drafted, so why not?
Fortunate Son
Or to put it another way: large numbers of Congress are just as interested as Israel in diverting attention from their own crimes and are unscrupulous enough to wage war to achieve this.
Scum
support Israel and deal with a looming civil war?
And then China supports whom ?
Everyone aopears to be supporting the same cause: Iran not having Nuclear autonomy.
Nah. Let both sides blow each other to kingdom come. Too much bad on either side.
