The war in Sudan has raged on for too long, causing unspeakable suffering with too little attention from the world. I call on the Trump administration and the international community to do more to facilitate access to humanitarian aid, end this war, and hold perpetrators of this violence to account.

For Netanyahu, the war in Gaza was not enough. Iran was not enough. He is now waging a full-blown war of expansion in Lebanon. The time is long overdue for Congress to listen to the American people and end U.S. military aid to the extremist Israeli government.

Trump's recklessness is needlessly putting our brave service members in harm's way, destroying America's global standing, and making life even more unaffordable for the American people. We must all stand against this and oppose funding this illegal war of choice.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

All efforts for peace have failed. Hopes for global peace have vanished like smoke. The world will now face even more dangerous & bloody wars, destruction, famine, & worse problems. Those who celebrated its failure just because Pakistan was also involved in it, will face its consequences soon.

Both the Iranian and the US negotiating delegations came to Islamabad for the peace talks. Yet, even so, the Indian and Afghan media continue to insist that it wasn't Pakistan, but China, that brokered the ceasefire—while China itself makes no such claim. So what can we even say about these folks?

“Iran showed up in Pakistan this weekend with a team of 30 people, many …with Ph.D.s & diplomacy experience. America’s delegation was five real-estate developers and venture-capital dudes who were shocked when the Iranians didn’t succumb to their Glengarry Glen Ross high-pressure sales pitch.”
