The resolution was voted down today 72/11

So on the official record, the American government supports the genocide and will keep supporting Israel even if it is committing war crimes and crimes against humanity.

I feel like, in a just world, voting against this resolution would be grounds for indictment in The Hague for enabling genocide.

I've been trying to find the list of who voted which way, but can't seem to find it.

Imagine voting against "let's make sure we only provide military aid to people not committing war crimes, as is explicitly required by US law."

That's the "for" list, with Rand Paul being a hilarious "hey guys, I swear I'm not terrible" throwaway vote.

72 voted against, the rest abstained.

Thanks.

Pissing in the wind here, but I'm never voting for anyone currently serving who is not on that list.

didn't someone call me hyperbolic when I called genocide?

There is a wealth of idiots on this site. You've probably been called worst, for less.

Hamas is definitely shit. But if we could rewind the tape about how Israel was established? Gaza was nothing but a outdoor prison controlled by Israel. I’m not a genius, but when you have been kicked off your land to begin with then given about 5 square miles for your people to live on. Not free, because Israel controls the flow of everything you need to survive. Toss in the settlers taking homes and land from people who have lived there for decades and decades on the West Bank with the help of the IDF? I’m pretty sure that some people are going to be pissed? I mean we had people who wanted to hang our VP and storm the capital over a bunch of lies that 67 different courts all said it was a lie! Two things you don’t do, mix politics with religion. Second thing? Don’t act stupid when you do and people don’t buy what you’re selling!
