How do unethical electeds sleep at night knowing that they are violating international law?
Warren finally acknowledged the genocide in Gaza, but she and many other Senators voted to send $14 billion worth of arms to enact this genocide.
The vast evidence is clear, from Israel's countless statements of genocidal intent to the damning case South Africa presented at the Hague.
This is a genocide.
@POTUS
& Congress, take note: Funding genocide is a violation of U.S. & international law.

History will remember this moment.
There is no world in which the forced famine of 1.1 million people cannot be considered genocide. And that is exactly what we are watching unfold in Gaza now.
We must enforce U.S. laws and halt weapons transfers to the Israeli government to stop an atrocity in the making.
The Democratic Party can no longer ignore Palestinian communities demanding an end to Israel’s genocide in Gaza and an end to unconditional military funding & political backing for Israel.
