Israeli settlement expansion & settler violence are out of control. The last 3 years saw 50,000 West Bank Palestinians forced from their homes by Israeli military operations, demolitions & settler terror attacks.
Now, dozens of lawmakers led by @JoaquinCastrotx are pushing back.

Israeli settler terrorism against Palestinians, international observers and journalists in the occupied West Bank is out of control.
Israel denies what we can all see, while arming the terrorists and sending its forces to back them up in an official campaign of ethnic cleansing.

NEW POLL: Ending US wars overseas is a supermajority position (67%) among swing state voters.
Recognizing Israel’s actions in Gaza as a genocide and ending all military aid to Israel are majority positions, with even stronger support among Independents.

Trump isn't just going after judges he doesn’t like anymore — he’s going after an entire court.
Defending the @IntlCrimCourt is part of defending the rule of law in the U.S. and around the world against the war criminals and autocrats who are making all of us less safe and free.

What can be done to counter Trump’s ICC sanctions?
• ICC member states must fulfill their obligations to enforce its orders, including Netanyahu’s arrest warrant
• The EU can invoke its blocking statute
• US lawmakers should condemn the sanctions and commit to undoing them

Israel’s response to anti-genocide jurist Navi Pillay winning the Nobel Prize: “Goebbels is certainly applauding from hell.”
Inverting the roles of those who work to stop crimes against humanity and those who commit them has become Israel’s standard rhetoric for obvious reasons.

82% of Republican voters want a report, so who are these senators representing by voting to let Israel kill their fellow Americans with impunity?

The money spent on the Iran war could wipe out the medical debt of every American.
It’s enough to repair every bridge in the U.S.
It could provide free child care to every child under five for the rest of the decade.
And then there’s what you’re paying for the war personally…

We honor the memory of the nearly 3,000 people murdered 25 years ago on 9/11 and those lost in its aftermath.
We must also reckon with why the US response made the world less safe, pursuing failed policies that continue to cause harm at home and abroad.

Decades of urging Israel to halt settlement expansion while refusing to impose any consequences for it has been a catastrophic failure—granting Israel impunity and fueling an annexationist movement that openly terrorizes Palestinian families, displaces them and steals their land.

You say you want to focus on affordability and holding Trump accountable, but you’re the lead cosponsor of a bill to be voted on this week that’ll help him gut college access and fundamental American rights by defunding universities that boycott Israeli companies or institutions!
I’d love to get back to the issues elections should be about: making life more affordable and holding the administration accountable.
But we can’t ignore that members of our party are embracing a hate spewing streamer like Hasan Piker. We can't deliver for American families call out the hate and stand up for the values of the Democratic Party.

Congress will vote this week on a bill denying federal funding to universities that boycott Israel, Israeli companies or Israeli institutions, including those in settlements. It’s another effort to single out Israel for special treatment and erode Americans’ rights on its behalf.

Senate Democrats unifying to block the annual “must-pass” Pentagon authorization bill as written is a historic win for progressives.
Trump’s record-high Pentagon budget, funding for the war on Iran, and massively expanded US-Israel military cooperation are now all up in the air.

NEW: This is now the across-the-board Democratic position, as Senate Democrats defeat a vote to advance the massive Pentagon bill.
Great to see this becoming the consensus—and hopefully uniform—Democratic position.
Democrats should oppose the annual Pentagon bill and related spending measures that would stick working Americans with the check for continuing Trump’s costly, illegal and disastrous war on Iran.

Israel has a higher per capita GDP than the UK, France or Japan.

Trump’s war on Iran has been a total disaster. Resuming it just digs the hole deeper.
It was illegal when it started and is doubly so now that Congress has passed War Powers resolutions to stop it.
A vote to appropriate any taxpayer dollars for the war is a vote to continue it.

While only a first step toward enactment, it’s a major rebuke of the unauthorized US-Israel war on Iran.

Republicans may try to lower the Senate vote threshold on an authorization for the use of military force by falsely claiming hostilities have ended in the ongoing war on Iran, then zeroing the clock for privileged consideration when Trump resumes bombing.

Bullshit. Israel was responsible for two-thirds of journalist killings worldwide last year.
Even more damning, Israel was responsible for 81% of intentionally targeted killings of journalists.
In other words, over four of every five journalists murdered were murdered by Israel.

After a decade of fiercely attacking a previous deal with Iran, President Trump has authorized U.S. negotiators to consider a bargain that involves many of the same trade-offs one of his predecessors confronted.
