All aid to the genocide state must end. Not just arms.

    The left need to understand Israel has been a majority rightwing country for over 25 years now.

    Supporting Israel and their involvement in US politics, is supporting the international rightwing. Helping the global right into power makes no sense for any leftist party seeking power. It makes no sense for the left internationally.

    Nearly three-quarters of Israelis view President Donald Trump as a better-than-average U.S. president for Israel’s interests

    https://israel365news.com/416106/israelis-overwhelmingly-support-trump-73-say-hes-better-than-average-for-israel/

    ...and those Israelis who can afford it, donate to lobby in the US. So we've seen a consistent tactical error by the establishment left who fund and support Israel. Democrats funding Israel don't help Israelis become more left leaning, democrats who fund and support Israeli lobbying are helping boost the rightwing.

    Ultimately political solidarity is international. So there's no reason the global left should be funding the right. It's political and financial suicide.

    [Please note: "International left" and "International right" is not a euphamism for some Jewish conspiracy theory. I'm talking about how leftwing parties/organization should try to fund and protect other leftwing organizations/countries. "International" here means global solidarity with one side/direction of politics or the other.]

    The left DOES understand that.

    Problem is that the majority of people don't realize that the leadership of the Dems are ALSO right wing, and have been since before the Clintons moved into the White House.

    True, but it makes perfect sense for a Neoliberal-led party, like the US Dems. In many ways, including foreign policy, they're to the right of Reagan.

    It's kind of the same view as billionares corporations etc... "yes we know they are giving far more to our opponents than us... but do you want them to give ALL of it to them instead".

    The other (non pelosi endorsed) Dem in that general has called what Israel is doing a flat out genocide despite himself being Jewish...

    Edit:

    So has Connie Chan, and unlike Wiener, she's not some shitty "moderate" – the fucking last thing this sinking ship needs right now.

    Want to know how I know she said that? Because it's in the subheader of the article we're talking about.

    Connie Chan, endorsed by Nancy Pelosi to succeed her in California, says she will vote to ‘end a genocide in Gaza’.

    He said it later than her.

    He's also the guy who tried to prevent students in California from being able to express 1A rights and protest Israel. Yes, Israel, not antisemitism.

    Chan is much much better.

    Something like this shouldn't be surprising to see. But it is nonetheless. It's a start at least. Too little too late. But it's a start.

    Not gonna bother reading because anything corporate Democrats "call for" within about three months of an election is guaranteed to be purely performative for the sake of vote-getting.
