"Israel is fighting a just and necessary war," asserted U.S. Senator from Arkansas, #TomCotton, in support of Israel continuing its genocide in Gaza.
The Senator also suggested that "the House has no choice but to impeach #Biden over delayed Israel aid." This highlights the extent to which U.S. senators supported by #AIPAC funding are willing to go to ensure Israel remains armed with U.S. weaponry.
Sen. Tom Cotton is a nasty piece of work, not to mention an absolute hypocrite. He rabidly criticizes Biden for how Biden has/hasnāt responded to pro-Palestine protesters; but he continues to have nothing to say about Trumpās defense of Unite the Right Nazis as āvery fine people.ā
Lucian K. Truscott points to extremist Kari Lake telling Republicans to "strap on a Glock" and violence-infatuated Tom Cotton encouraging people to "take matters into [their] own hands" with those protesting violence against Palestinians in Gaza, and throw protestors off bridges.
He concludes,
"I hardly need to say it, but Iām going to say it anyway:"
"This is madness, and it is madness being perpetrated by the Republican Party in a desperate attempt to win elections they cannot win with votes cast at the ballot box. Iām also going to say this: people were not killed on the day of the last presidential election, but people are going to be killed in the one coming up in November.
Republicans will walk over dead bodies if they canāt get their votes."
The top U.S. #intelligence ofcl on Mon warned that the #war in #Gaza could embolden #terrorist groups, which are aligned in their opposition to the #UnitedStates for its support of #Israel.
āThe crisis has galvanized #violence by a range of actors around the world. And while it is too early to tell, it is likely that the Gaza conflict will have a generational impact on #terrorism,ā #ODNI#AvrilHaines, told an annual hearing on #GlobalSecurity#threats.
ā¦#Republican Sen #TomCotton, a stalwart backer of #Israel, prodded #CIA Dir Burns & #ODNI Haines to refute allegations that Israel is āexterminating the #Palestinian peopleā w/its military campaign.
The officials declined to do so. Burns said that while the #Biden admin understands āIsraelās needā to respond to the brutal attack it suffered on Oct7, āI think we all also have to be mindful of the enormous toll that this has taken on innocent #civilians in #Gaza.ā
āIs #Israel starving children in Palestine, or #Gaza?ā #TomCotton asked apparently referring to reports by the #UN & #humanitarian orgs, as well as some Dems that Israelās refusal to allow the necessary volume of food #aidā¦ is causing a preventable #famine. āThe reality is that there are children who are #starving. Theyāre #malnourished, as a result of the fact that humanitarian assistance canāt get to them. Itās very difficult to distributeā¦effectively, unless you have a #CeaseFireā Burns said.
Most racists, though they may not realize it, are radioactive. Most people of color are Geiger counters.
Being able to almost immediately identify a racist isnāt a parlor trick or a lucky guess. If youāve lived among them and have had to survive them, being able to recognize them comes almost instinctively. Can there be doubt? Of course, absolutely. But itās when thereās no doubt that one is consistently right. #TomCotton#racists#racism
