Grateful to Senator Warnock for his moral clarity. Tonight Georgia sent a clear message that we value upholding international humanitarian law.
Tweet by @AkbarSAhmed that reads: Warnock has also voted against the weapons for Israel; Helmy + Wyden have voted no. Interested to see where @ChrisMurphyCT lands.

.@aarondmiller2, @AkbarSAhmed, and I discussed Trump's disastrous Iran war on NPR. One particularly interesting part of the discussion was the question of Israel's role in starting this war:

America: the world’s leading bully and genocide-funder
Tweet from AkbarSAhmed 12/20/23 Leading HuffPost: The Biden admin is quietly preparing to pressure Switzerland to block a bid to probe violations of the Geneva Conventions ― aka war crimes ― by both Israel & Hamas (+ others). The revelation comes amid US stonewalling on Gaza at the UN. huffpost.com/entry/un-secur…

@AkbarSAhmed:

To stop Bernie Sanders from forcing a vote to block weapons to Israel, Biden personally called him and led him to believe his administration was preparing to sanction Ben-Gvir. It was, of course, a lie.

Akbar Shahid Ahmed @AkbarSAhmed Asked a well-placed US official about the Biden administration's framing of the imminent Israeli ground operation in Lebanon as "limited." Response: "It will be big. Everyone who says it's going to be 'limited' is a white man who thinks a million dead brown people is 'limited.'"

“What genocide! Here, have a pizza party”
Tweet from @AkbarSAhmed Biden admin staff are condemning a "morale-booster party" for White House personnel tonight. "We are disgusted by this display of complete apathy towards the lives that have been taken in the region over the last 3 months." They re-emphasize ceasefire call + urge party boycott. Statement is alt texted in the reply to this post

Haaretz story as a leak meant to apply pressure, with plenty of ways for officials to wriggle out of it afterward. The record says they will. @AkbarSAhmed

⭕️ A senior Biden State Department official told HuffPost the phrase “ethnic cleansing” was being regularly used by agency officials to describe Israeli actions under Blinken. 📌 Read this excerpt from Huff Post report: “Secretary of State Antony Blinken raised the prospect that Israel was committing ethnic cleansing to fellow U.S. officials, a fourth official, formerly at the State Department, told HuffPost… Such language would have been a significant change in how Blinken discussed Israel, several officials said. In public, Israel and the Biden administration regularly disputed outside groups’ conclusions that Israeli activities amounted to ethnic cleansing or war crimes, and pointed to brutality by the Palestinian militant group Hamas. ‘The leadership was assessing whether or not there was appetite to go harder [in identifying troubling Israeli behavior]... what I saw being put in the pipeline was genuine questions being asked by the secretary himself as to whether what was happening constituted ethnic cleansing,’ the former State Department official said. A separate senior Biden State Department official told HuffPost the phrase “ethnic cleansing” was by then being regularly used by agency officials to describe Israeli actions, noting that they were alarmed by a range of U.S.-enabled policies: “There were other issues we were more concerned about, but this has a conceptual grounding, so it’s sometimes a useful thing.” Blinken’s questions and suspicions seemingly led nowhere. When State Department staff focused on international law requested their own intelligence briefing about possible Israeli ethnic cleansing, the former State Department official said intelligence personnel denied their request.” Full story ⬇️ Akbar Shahid Ahmed @AkbarSAhmed NEW: Inside the Biden administration debates in late 2024 that could have changed the course of the Gaza war -top intel official sought to cut support for Israel but Brett McGurk pushed back -"very likely" US liability -Blinken spoke of "ethnic cleansing" https://huffpost.com/entry/biden-intelligence-israeli-war-crimes-gaza_n_690e361ce4b0dd4ea75b6445?2b9

Trump, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris all have a giant racist problem because they’re ALL racist AF.

@AkbarSAhmed got the White House's private talking points to Congress on today's vote over weapons for Israel―a document that accuses Democrats of aiding Hamas if they vote against the Biden admin's arms deals.

Schumer is privately pressuring senators too.

'40 senators voted against US weapons for Israel tonight

~1/2 the chamber & the overwhelming majority of Democrats + allies. No such vote had ever occurred in Congress before 2 years ago

A sea-change that will resonate in Tel Aviv & dramatically boost calls for a Dem overhaul
