WHEN SECRETARY MARCO Rubio proposed a sweeping reorganization of the State Department on Tuesday, he singled out a human rights office that he said had become a platform for “left-wing activists” to pursue “arms embargoes” on Israel: the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor.
Rubio is proposing to rename the bureau, downsize it, and shunt it under another section of the State Department. The bureau’s duties include writing an annual human rights report — which has been critical of Israel — and enforcing a law banning aid to military units that violate human rights that has rankled Israeli leaders.
On one level, the accusation that the bureau was a hotbed of anti-Israel activism baffled critics of the State Department’s handling of the Gaza war. Their push to block weapon sales to Israel went nowhere under Joe Biden’s secretary of state, Antony Blinken.
Still happy ya’ll didn’t vote for the “lesser evil” despite being told numerous times this would happen?
AIPAC bought both parties.
With the biggest bully (US) destroyed and not able to support any longer, maybe Israel will be controlled.
They told you to vote third party. You were told numerous times Democrats would lose on a genocide campaign.
Sounds like nothing actually changes though.
But I’m sure feeling superior and telling people they are stupid will get them to vote for your favourite team next time!
It was never about Gaza. It was about crushing America. All those genocide Joe people wanted this to happen.
I see. So anyone who cares about human rights and stopping war crimes wants to crush America? Have you figured out why these evildoers hate America so much? Is it trans rights you think? Maybe PETA? Antifa? Womens reproductive rights?
What do you think of the members of the UN, they are right here on our soil right now, do we arrest them? Just execute them?
Lead us, oh wise one.
Yeah, so true. Who even cares about genocide, dude?
If you did you’d call out all the genocide, and all the people who aid in creating it. But you don’t. You focus on one single instance that helps you make another argument. You don’t give a shit about the Palestinians, they are a tool for you.
True. You are the real person who cares about genocides by telling everyone not to care about them. Thank you for saving Palestine.
And this is an example of what’s wrong with the world: If somebody doesn’t agree with you they must be the exact opposite opinion. or maybe it’s just people online?

“it’s the Democrats’ fault I didn’t vote”
Do democrats need to do anything to earn people’s votes or are we just obligated to vote blue no matter who?

Only 28% of democrats support the current Democratic Party. Get used to “us twerps” — we’re the majority who want democrats to do something against fascism.
I’m tired of you twerps saying everything is fine.
I’m tired of democrats passing free trade agreements, hollowing out America’s economy. I’m tired of democrats passing ”welfare reform,” cutting off aid to those in need. I’m tired of democrats dismantling Glass-Steagall, deregulating finance. I’m tired of democrats approving republicans’ warmongering and covering (and continuing) their war crimes. I’m tired of democrats compelling us to buy private market insurance instead of giving us socialized medicine. I’m tired of democrats not codifying Roe so they can have their hands out every time republicans threaten reproductive rights.
I’m tired of democrats somehow finding candidates even less popular than the least popular president ever.
I’m tired of hearing “now is not the time for progressive policies” year after year despite them having broad appeal.
I’m tired of democrats chasing these mythical moderates who don’t exist outside the billionaire class.
I’m tired of the controlled opposition and political kabuki.
Democrats are not progressive. They’re center right and getting righter all the time. It’s time to start treating them as such.
You should be tired of defending a party that chose to represent genocide instead of representing you.
