The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) has been furiously urging House Democrats to release messages of steadfast support for Israel in its war with Iran, the Prospect and Drop Site News have learned, even as bipartisan lawmakers come together on a War Powers Act resolution to prevent U.S. troops or funds being used in yet another Middle East conflagration.

One member relayed that a colleague had received literally 100 phone calls from members of AIPAC and its allied pressure groups. AIPAC wants House Democratic members to state explicitly that they “stand with Israel” in its actions against Iran aimed at destroying the Islamic Republic’s nuclear capability, and add that Iran “must never have a nuclear weapon.”

Better yet, boot camp. They want to fight a war so badly, send them to the front lines.

Zionist terrorists, please follow the example of the man you're copying.

Go down into a bunker and remove yourself from the world.

And they will, the neo-liberal party will fall in line for that war cash cow. Get a foreign country out of our politics!

I think anyone who actually clicks on the link would be able to figure that out.

That answer is really fucked up. Like, "war is peace" levels of fucked up.

AIPAC: WE'RE ONLY ASKING YOU TO DO WHAT WE PAID YOU TO DO.

AIPAC, you want democrats to stand with genociders? Also Iran has plenty of resources (a large stockpile of enriched uranium) as well as the capability to make nukes. Trump stepping in could have disastrous consequences for the whole world

Allegedly Iran can already make a dirty bomb with their current uranium stocks but it will not be explosive only radioactive.

And I demand permenant ceasefires, not just for every war Israel is involved in, but also for every war the US is involved with.

While also staying ready to defend. Not aggress, defend.

at this point we are just a proxy state of israel. apart from the the evangelical nuts, 80% of voters are strongly against it. we work hard without healthcare, education to fund murderous parasites who think all non-israelis are subhuman slaves. don’t tell me its the defence lobby, they have been angry at israel stealing their tech and reselling it to our adversaries for decades but unable to do anything about.

our politicians shameless support them as they get bribed for it and face no consequences. same story in uk and germany. they don’t have to send their children at war so that an apartheid state can freely murder family for more land.

if we ever get our autonomy back then schumer, pelosi, trump, vance and all need to be tried for treason

Yep, mine just released a statement:

Simply put, Iran must be stopped from developing nuclear weapons.

I mean I live next to a military base, so I already know it's all war from my rep, but goddamn.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

Simply put, maybe not tear up an already made deal that prevented that if that's what you wanted. Now, people died over that decision as a direct result with plenty more to follow.

Honestly, im way more worried about us holding nukes than Iran at this time... also, one of the reasons Iran wanted the development was for nuclear power plants to provide energy in an area that has trouble with providing electricity. Did they also want to build nukes? Who knows, but i wouldn't blame them either.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Just look at the history of any country without nukes. Iran wants nukes.
