And all it took were democrats throwing a presidential election and getting ousted in primaries by progressives to get there.

Sad to see my rep in the no's. Guess we'll be looking for a change in the next primary.
The aid was still approved. Not quite seismic yet. Save that for when something is actually accomplished.
They'll only do a brave move when they can be sure it has no chance of ever passing.
All it took was the complete genocide of Palestinians and the destruction of their culture.
would have eliminated the $3.3 billion in annual foreign military financing provided to Israel’s military
That's fucking insane.
Anyone who voted in support of this funding has blood on their hands
Excellent
Off topic, but can someone explain when the US has started calling the Middle East "Mideast"? I've seen it a few times, never said yet though. Is it just laziness? Because when I think "mideast" I think corn/bible/tornado states east of the Mississippi but west of the Appalachians - y'know, kinda like Midwest but the east of it, below the rust belt, as that would make sense as a name for a US region.
I think I usually see it used as an adjective more than a noun,
I wondered the same, and I was thinking maybe it was influence from outside English, maybe by way of AI. However, I found this Reddit thread that pointed to dictionary.com citing it from 1940-1945 and The New York Times using it in headlines. So, it looks like it's a legit synonym, in particular in headlines.
Growing up in baptist churches in the south, I grew up hearing "near east" for Israel and surrounding, and middle east for basically everything else that wasn't "the orient"
Mideast is newish to me, and the other two terms I haven't really heard since I was a kid in the 90s/00s.
Well, didn’t bibi say that Israel didn’t need the US anymore? Works for me.
Clearly they've been told that they are "allowed" to do this since the militaries are getting merged or whatever bullshit is happening next.
Because the next step is intertwining the U.S. military with the IOF. So they are inextricably linked. At that point they will receive american military tax dollars, and it will only be labeled as such not "IOF funds".
The democrats are bloodthirsty too, do not forget this. They are pulling the wool over your eyes.
Fuck off tankie scum. Go lick the boots of your rapist invaders.
Oh shit you really addressed and dismantled the content of my comment! Look at you go little fella!
Pfffffffft pot calling the kettle black much, imperialist nation's soldiers (such as America) will rape and pillage your country and then make a movie/write a book on how sad and traumatized it made them bombing/shooting/maiming school children.
The true bootlicker here is you, if you think the democrats will save you you are so fucking naive I don't even know where to begin. You only want what is best for the imperial core, my heart goes beyond that. Liberals truly believe the "if kamala won we'd be out at brunch", their care begins and ends with Americans. Not even that, only wealthy americans.
Please inform me on how Kamala would have saved the Palestinians. How she would have stopped the harvesting of valuable resources from countries the U.S. has impoverished. How she would have halted the unethical Cuban embargo. How the U.S. goverments constant rifling and pillaging of the middle east for itself and Israel would have stopped at her.
At the very least inform yourself on the very treatlerite boot you gnaw and suckle on before accusing others (this is only a fraction of a fraction of the ferocious behavior from the west):
