For the second time in the less than four months, the US Senate has resoundingly voted in support of continuing the genocide in Gaza by rejecting two resolutions aimed at blocking some $9 billion in weapons to the Israeli government.

    In his speech, Sanders, an agent of US imperialism, observed that the US ruling class’ open support for war crimes in Gaza undercuts attempts by Washington to advance “human rights” arguments to justify US interventions and military actions around the world.

    Does anyone know why this site refers to Senator Sanders as an “agent of US imperialism”?

    This is very strange and makes it difficult to take this article seriously - which is a shame given the ongoing genocide.

        And by “socialist,” read Trotskyite. Don’t expect any socialist thinking that emerged since their wonder boy got an ice axe in the cabeza in 1940.

      Because Sanders says Israel has the right to defend itself, refuses to call it a genocide, wants to send interceptors to Israel and blames the entire genocide on Hamas and Netanyahu insread of Israel.

        Both Hawaii senators voted for human rights and against genocide! I am pleased. At least we have a tiny sliver of civilization left in the US government. NM too, looks like. Good on you, NM.

    Do you think Jeffrey Epstein was the first or the only guy blackmailing politicians and officials for Mossad?

    A correct headline: most of the Democrats and all of the Republicans supported the genocide.

      Even more correct: most of the US government supports genocide, and don’t care that their constituents don’t.

    Isn’t it lovely that, in these times of polarization, division and conflict, all of Congress can come together and join hands in the common cause of genocidal slaughter of innocents.

      It is a coldly political calculation. The Dems are afraid that if they refuse to facililitate Israeli genocide, then American Jews won’t vote for them. At the same time, MAGA Nazis will step right up and pledge to kill every Muslim in the Middle East, and sweep up every vote.

      The Dems can’t afford to lose a fairly monolithic voting block.

    “Democrats are completely different than Republicans, they want to help people! Anyone saying otherwise supports Trump and is a useful idiot!”

    Adding this to the list of things Democrats and Republicans agree on, in 2025.

    If I have to vote for mid term, likely third party. Then Democrats have that Pikachu face. They have been compromised
