Rep. Rashida Tlaib: “But Palestinians are not just numbers. Behind these numbers are real people — mothers, fathers, sons, daughters — who have had their lives stolen from them and their families torn apart. And we should not be trying to hide it. These are innocent children and babies who have been bombed in their tents, burned alive, dismembered and deliberately starved to death. Where is our shared humanity in this chamber? There is so much anti-Palestinian racism in this chamber that my colleagues don’t even want to acknowledge that Palestinians exist at all, not when they’re alive and now not even when they’re dead. It’s absolutely disgusting. This is genocide denial.”

Let me guess where most of the yay votes came from…

Edit: checked and surprise! Most Aaye votes are Republican. Only actual surprise is that there are 62 Democrats in there who should spend a week in Gaza to understand what they really really votes for.

Wonder where AIPAC spent all their money bribing and buying politicians

Democrats are war profiters. They know what’s going on, and they know it brings big bucks to their corporate sponsors.
