Key to understanding the Gaza genocide: When Israel was accused of bombing al-Ahli Hospital in Oct '23, it scrambled to deny guilt in the face of outrage. This year Israel's bombed it repeatedly, openly admitted & justified it, and you prob don't even remember it happened.
Probably not the post-interview commentary Netanyahu was looking for
A frontline report from Gaza on a people forced to face death from starvation or being shot in a perilous quest to obtain meager rations — by @AbdSabbah91 who is himself struggling to fight the spreading famine dropsitenews.com/p/israeli-star…
Even the Israeli reporters working for the Wall Street Journal acknowledge that the Israeli military and GHF have created killing corridors around aid distribution
It’s the 11th hour of the final extermination in Gaza. We should not be forgiven.
“It used to be that the president of the United States could call me a socialist and that was enough, and now he calls me a communist, because socialism is just not hitting the same anymore,” @ZohranKMamdani said.
Zohran at Nowadays...this is like the DSA equivalent of Trump spending his weekends at Mar-A-Lago

It’s not about being against all conflicts. It’s about Dem senators like Shaheen supporting Israel as the Israelis shell and gun down people trying to get food at militarized aid sites. Opposing genocide isn’t that complicated. And Dems lost last year partly because of this.
Dem hawks are attacking @RoKhanna for trying to make the Democratic Party more anti-war than Trump “I think Ro Khanna is wrong,” Sen. Shaheen said. “The fact is foreign policy isn't that easy. You can't just say I'm against all conflicts…”
THIS IS A LIE. foreign policy is *just as easy* as domestic policy DC insists on this mystification — "only experts can understand FP!" — to guard against questions about the very obvious consequences of our commitment to permanent global military primacy, like the Gaza genocide

🆕 The @HouseAppropsGOP Defense bill has again included a strengthened ban on US support for some of the most controversial armed groups in Ukraine Question now is whether any House members will propose an amendment to strip it, or if Senate will block it behind closed doors
With the @StateDeptPM leaning on the distinction between the “battalion” and the “brigade” to get around congressional sanctions, some representatives are moving to shore up the statutory ban. Story by @prem_thakker @samfbiddle in @theintercept: theintercept.com/2024/06/22/ukr…
.@ZohranKMamdani responds to President Trump's remark suggestion to arrest him if he pushes back on ICE as mayor: "We will not accept this intimidation."
They’ve found Oxycodone in bags of flour distributed by U.S./Israeli backed ‘aid centers’ in Gaza. It is an opioid, highly addictive. It is not enough to incinerate Palestinians, to bomb them, shoot them, starve them, maim them; to destroy the healthcare infrastructure so they…
"I have many critiques of capitalism, and I think ultimately the definition for me of why I call myself a democratic socialist is the words of Doctor King decades ago." #NYC Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani on whether he likes capitalism in his interview with @ErinBurnett.

President Trump on Israel and Iran: "We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the fuck they’re doing."
Here it is @RepJeffries, for your convenience.
Asked if he supports @RoKhanna's war powers resolution that would require Trump to seek authorization from Congress for any war with Iran, Hakeem Jeffries says: "I haven't taken a look at it."
