    Also forget the portion where dems do not use their powers unless it is needed for Israel.

      Yup the whole Republicans ignore the rules and Democrats don’t thing hurts extra hard when you watch Democrats throw the rules out the window to support a genocide.

        Democrats very much followed the rules when supporting Israel’s settler-colonial genocide, that’s been a part of the rules since the settler-colonial project started.

          No they didn’t. There are specific laws forbidding military aid to war criminals.

            Yes, and Israel has always been guilty of war crimes, genocide, and settler-colonialism. That’s its purpose.

              Yes but until now there’s been a veneer of legal occupation. That is gone and the Democrats doubled down after it was gone. After most people could clearly see the crimes being committed.
