As the horrific war rages on in Sudan, we should use our leverage to bring the violence to an end. I’m calling up my bill NOW to halt U.S. arms sales to the UAE, until they stop fueling the atrocities and destruction by their arming of the murderous RSF.

Even high school kids are not safe from the lies of @JGreenblattADL, who has once again ignored many recent examples of real antisemitism to obess over a manufactured controversy involving Muslim children. Mr. Greenblatt already knows that other student groups in Virginia have
Would CAIR have responded the same way if students had released a video mocking and trivializing an attack on any group other than Jews? Of course not. Why? Because that skit would have been deeply offensive, downright dangerous and just plain wrong. Just like the one in Fairfax

As starvation worsens by the day in Gaza, the Netanyahu govt has been using food as a weapon of war — with complicity from Trump & U.S. taxpayer dollars. This is painful to listen to but here’s what a U.S. Army veteran & Green Beret who witnessed it first-hand recounted to me:

Here’s the NYT cleaning house a bit..
🧵 60 Mins sat on this story for months. They spent 15 months doing egregious propaganda justifying the slaughter of Palestinians (and Lebanese) - they were instrumental in the genocide propaganda. Now this. It is the marker not of cowardice but of complicity to release this

We welcome the fact that an internationally-respected organization like Amnesty International would clearly state what has become obvious to the entire world – with the exception of Biden administration officials – that the far-right government of indicted war criminal Benjamin
Amnesty International’s new landmark report concludes that Israeli authorities have committed – and still are committing - genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip. Full report, out now. #EndGazaGenocide

.@JGreenblattADL, you are an anti-Palestinian racist and an anti-Muslim bigot who has spent almost a year justifying a genocide and many more years coddling real anti-Semites so long as they support the Israeli government. Unlike the @ADL , @CAIRNational has consistently
In Dec, the @WhiteHouse rightfully condemned CAIR leader Nihad Awad’s appalling antisemitic comments glorifying the terrorism perpetrated by Hamas on 10/7. The WH & Congress are aware of CAIR’s problematic history of anti-Israel rhetoric. So how can they justify giving this org

We apologize for sharing such a graphic image, but this is the daily reality of the genocide that President Biden is enabling in violation of U.S. law, which forbids arming foreign governments that block U.S. humanitarian aid. @POTUS @PressSec #LeahyLaw #GazaGenocide
🚨7-month-old baby Fayez Abu Ataya was just announced dead due to malnutrition and lack of medical treatment in Gaza city, a result of the ongoing Israeli Genocide on #Gaza Strip.

Enough. If President Biden sends even one more missile to the Israeli government after seeing the apocalyptic footage of headless Palestinian children and others burned alive using U.S. bombs in a so-called #Rafah safe zone, he will once again cross his own red line and every red

BREAKING NEWS: CAIR just won our #SCOTUS case against the FBI in a 9-0 vote. Alhamdulillah, this is a huge victory in our long fight to hold the government accountable for its discriminatory, Orwellian watchlist. Anti-Muslim bigotry under the guise of national security must end.

Over 29,000 Palestinians killed. Tens of thousands at risk. Women face childbirth without medical help & endure cesarians with no anesthesia. I’m leading a letter with @RepJayapal & @RepRaskin to restore full funding to UNRWA & provide a lifeline of humanitarian aid.

UPDATE: I got footage of the self-immolation at the Israeli embassy in DC. The individual, wearing fatigues, introduces himself as “an active duty member of the U.S. Air Force and I will no longer be complicit in genocide.” After ignition, he repeatedly yells “Free Palestine.”
Someone self-immolated (or tried to) outside the Israeli embassy in DC today.
