"I would like us to figure out how to stop making deals with countries like Saudi Arabia or the UAE, who are doing genocide in Sudan. I would like us to actually promote our values." Gulf state allies are going to feel the difference with the new Congress.

The Israeli government runs torture dungeons on par or worse than the dictatorships that the U.S. sanctions or attacks using human rights accusations. If Israel will be treated like any other country as some politicians have now indicated then that should be kept in mind.
Here is how 16-year-old Palestinian American Mohammed Ibrahim described watching Walid Ahmad die in front of him:

Israel's ongoing refusal to allow this type of humanitarian aid into Gaza violates 620i of the Foreign Assistance Act, mandating an immediate cut off of all weapons to Israel under US law.
Tens of thousands of Palestinians have been displaced and 5 are dead due to flooding in Gaza this weekend. More than half a million children lack safe shelter as winter begins. The Israeli government must allow building materials and winter supplies into Gaza immediately.

Mark Levin tweeted about Israel 120 times this weekend. While you were enjoying a peaceful weekend with your loved ones, @marklevinshow was obsessively rage-tweeting about imaginary Nazis. What a sad man.

Look closer at calls to "cut aid" to Israel. The $4B in aid is only tip of the iceberg for US support, and misses 10x that amount in sales of weapons Israel can't get anywhere else, plus massive military deployments to shield Israel while it starts wars.

Here is just one recent finding: “The evidence shows that Palestinian children have been deliberately targeted and killed by the Israeli security forces,” according to the chair of the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory.

Very clarifying confession that Israel consider collective punishment of all Gazans to be “accountability for Hamas.” Definitional war crime. guide-humanitarian-law.org/c…
Hamas doesn't get to escape accountability every time it rains.

NEW from @nytimes: Vance's criticism of Israel and the Iran war has shaken up Washington. After the midterms, Republicans and Democrats are making a new push to limit aid to Israel. They say there's a generational shift because of Israel's wars and its acts against Palestinians.

In Fall 2024, the Biden Administration received intercepted communications between Israeli officials indicating intentional commission of war crimes. 2028 presidential candidates should pledge to disclose the contents.
Former U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken: The Israelis didn't intend to harm Palestinians. The target was Hamas.

18 yr old college student says Free Palestine and Bill runs a campaign to destroy their lives forever. 63 yr old CEO cheats on wife and mother of his children with a Chinese Spy:
An alert: @JensenHuang is human. And he is an incredible human. Even incredible humans make mistakes. He takes full responsibility as he should. We should all support him and his family. Onward.

This is just a stunningly wrongheaded assessment from @ABlinken. It was manifestly false back when he was repeatedly signing off on weapons transfers to the IDF, and looks even worse with the benefit of hindsight. Indefensible.

Chang: I accept that your critics on social media are bots, but there's a lot of people who believe there was a disproportionate response in Gaza. Blinken: October 7th was "the worst loss in the history of the Jewish people going back to the Holocaust."
Chang: You've been a lightning rod on the issue of Gaza... When I look at your social media, every one of the comments is a lot of vitriol. Blinken: "A lot of that...is a bunch of bots."
