Hamas hasn't fired a shot in almost a year, but the IDF has continued to slaughter Palestinians--more than 1,000 in the past year including 200 children. Tell me again how the Israeli state acts only in self-defense?

People don't want masked thugs terrorizing their neighbors. They don't want warehouses being turned into detention centers. They don't want billions of taxpayer dollars spent on a rogue police state. They want healthcare. They want affordable homes. They want their basic needs met.

So this is the language of the Massie-Khanna amendment to cut $3.3 billion of aid to Israel that failed Minority Leader Hakeem plans to opposes and vote NO on. Idk but maybe American programs so the American people could use $3.3 billion. Perhaps it can go to some new housing developments?

Being undocumented is not grounds for murder. Being a minority is not grounds for murder. Fleeing a scene is not grounds for murder. Committing a crime is not grounds for murder. Thereās a judicial system & due process for everyone. When ICE kill people, itās an extrajudicial execution.
