The damning 21-page report is titled, “The Netanyahu Government is Implementing a Plan to Ethnically Cleanse Gaza of Palestinians. America is Complicit. The World Must Stop It.”
The report observed that overwhelming evidence shows “Israel is…implementing a plan to ethnically cleanse Gaza of Palestinians and dealing a death blow to the vision of a future Palestinian state”.
Which of these politicians just voted to send Israel more assault rifles to hand out to settlers just this summer? I know Ron Wyden the other Oregon Senator that I thought I liked did.
Better late than never I suppose but what the fuck it’s been 2 years now and if I knew what Israel was doing from the start the Senators knew or should have known as well.
Even my man Bernie pretended to give Israel the benefit of the doubt for what 8 months?
