Netanyahu knew when he attacked the Iranian Consulate in Syria that Iran would have to retaliate. He did it to provoke an Iranian response, hoping it would deviate attention away from his utter military failure in Gaza and would revive sympathy for Israel so he can stay in power

Maybe launching airstrikes on an embassy, as Israel did, is designed to provoke a response like the one we’re seeing?

Maybe it’s not in the interest of US national security to enable such destabilizing behavior?

So, why did the Biden WH stand by while this situation escalated?

This is a wildly irresponsible statement. It's time to tell the Israeli government they are on their own if they choose to escalate further. The U.S. should not allow a foreign government to dictate when we go to war.

Read this piece on why Bibi chose to radically escalate with his April 1 strike on Iran's diplomatic compound. It's by Paul Pillar, who knows the territory--he was once in charge of analysis of the Middle East for CIA & all other US intelligence agencies. responsiblestatecraft.org/iran-israel-wa…

Not another dollar. Not another bomb. Not another excuse for an extremist who prides himself on the starvation and death of children and women. #CeasefireNOW

This bill represents one of the most dramatic and terrifying expansions of government surveillance authority in history. I will do everything in my power to stop it from passing in the Senate.

🚨Progressive Caucus come out in favor of an amendment to the FISA Section 702 bill the House will vote on tomorrow that would require the government to get a warrant before searching for Americans' private communications in Section 702 databases.

I'm a threat to AIPAC.

Because they can't buy me, they can't silence me, and with your help—even with $100M—they won't beat us.

Laura Rozen Rep. Pramila Jayapal There's a reason the discharge petition hasn't gotten the 218 signatures it needs because progressive lawmakers are *listening* to their constituents and NOT supporting sending more arms to Israel for its genocidal campaign in Gaza.

EXCLUSIVE: A coalition of progressive organizations challenging AIPAC’s efforts to unseat 2024 candidates critical of Israel has partnered with actor Wallace Shawn for an explainer video calling on others to join their mission.

New: In VA-10's Democratic primary, Eileen Filler-Corn secured DMFI PAC's endorsement on Feb. 8, and transferred them $110,000 a day later from her state PAC.

The two sides deny coordination. And while an FEC complaint accuses Filler-Corn of violating a provision of…

As the United Democracy Project threatens to spend $100M in Democratic primaries this cycle, let's pull back the curtain on AIPAC.

What you'll find is a web of Trump megadonors, GOP billionaires, insurrectionists, & anti-abortion extremists.

Time for Democrats to #RejectAIPAC .

Eid Mubarak to all our Muslim neighbors. I know this Ramadan was difficult as the genocide in Gaza continues. Saving lives and supporting a permanent ceasefire should not be controversial. This Eid, let's be with our loved ones, and continue to raise our voices and speak truth.

Another significant sign of a shift in thinking on arms sales to Israel.

Rep. Meeks is the Ranking Member on one of the committees (House Foreign Affairs Committee Dems) that must be notified for major arms sales — and he says he first needs to see more evidence that Israel is meeting US requirements.

“The best future we can be providing for our children is when we provide for the children of the people we don’t know, the same future and the same hope we are trying to provide for our own,” he continued. “What is so difficult to understand about that?” huffpost.com/entry/jose-and…

Wow. Nancy Pelosi is among 40 House Democrats urging Biden to halt pending weapons transfers to Israel and to condition future military aid.

After Israel killed 7 World Central Kitchen workers in Gaza, we're through the looking glass re: US-Israel ties haaretz.com/israel-news/20…

Progressive Reps. Pocan, McGovern and Schakowsky are circulating a letter to Biden calling to halt weapons transfers to Israel over the World Central Kitchen strike:

Support for Palestinian freedom among the public has risen dramatically. It’s time for Congress to catch up.

Today we’re launching IMEU Policy Project because we believe US policy should advance human rights and respect for international law for all people, with no exceptions.

The U.S. government is still supplying 2 thousand pound bombs and ammunition to support Israel's policy. Until there are substantive consequences, this outrage does nothing. Bibi obviously doesn't care what the U.S. says, its about what the U.S. does. politico.com/news/2024/04/0…
