Following the opening salvo in Israel’s bombardment of Iran, many members of Congress rushed to declare their support for the Jewish state. Some went further, demanding the White House defend Tel Aviv from retaliation. A small number of lawmakers criticized Israel and urged Washington to stay out of the conflict.
The article offers a set of post from US politicians calling to support Israel and even a regime change. It also points out that a handful of lawmakers did oppose the Israeli strikes. Like Rep. Massie, who was the only member of Congress to point out that the attack Israel launched on Friday was an offensive war of aggression.
I remember seeing this almost a decade ago now I swear.
"The intelligence we get from the Israelis is too valuable to go against them." -The US
I personally don't care. If you don't treat others right, you are bad people. Collusion included. I've been mad at the US ever since they dragged us into the Iraq war with their lies about WMD's, and they have tons of other bad acts as well - in Vietnam, Venezuela, and more.
I think that now is a perfect time for us Europeans to start pulling away from the hypocrisy.
Netanyahu was worried the US would achieve a deal with Iran and struck first.
A handful of lawmakers did oppose the Israeli strikes, however. Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) argued that Tel Aviv’s war interfered with Trump’s effort to strike a new nuclear deal with Iran. “Netanyahu wasn’t trying to help diplomacy; he was trying to destroy diplomacy. How do we know? They reportedly targeted and killed Iran’s chief negotiator with Trump,” he wrote.
Why are there like 3 senators worth a shit. It's always Murphy, the dude from Hawaii and Sanders doing anything worthwhile. Interestingly I think the other Connecticut Senator sucks worse than most other Senate Democrats.
Their children won't be drafted, so why not?

Game on? Republicans are so pathetic when they try to sound tuff
Also Dems if you read the article, don't forget that previously some of them worked hard to reach the same thing...
Let Israel fight their own war. They can't do shit without our backing. I don't care if they survive. They are genocidal maniacs and I want to see them put in their place. Of course, that's not the opinion of our "leaders." Sigh.
Republicans are so caught up in the evangelical cult that they're ready to sacrifice American lives at another country's alter.
Something. Something. Something. End Times. God's Chosen People.
-Republicans.
Sadly not exclusive to gop. Many dems happy to do the same.
See chuck only using taco to get trump mad at Iran
Big deal. The other side sacrificed the countrys liberty for another's problems.
Expand on that "thought"
Or to put it another way: large numbers of Congress are just as interested as Israel in diverting attention from their own crimes and are unscrupulous enough to wage war to achieve this.
Scum
Large numbers in Congress can get fucked.
And then China supports whom ?
support Israel and deal with a looming civil war?
Nah. Let both sides blow each other to kingdom come. Too much bad on either side.
Those fucking idiots
