Not surprised. All of them are brought and paid by AIPAC. Most of US politcal system is brought and paid for my big money and special interest groups. That's not democracy. That's legalised corruption.

It's mind-boggling they would pose with the future face of genocide! Like "Oh, let me get in the picture with Hitler while he's exterminating the Jews!" Does AIPAC require this for money? What is wrong with these people?

I’d call them cowards if I thought they were actually afraid to say something. They just don’t care. Sure, they’re bought by and beholden to AIPAC, but they also just care about Palestinian life - foreign or domestic. Deplorable, racist, supremacists. All of them.

Caring about the specific targeting of Palestinian children to maim them for life, therefore to act both as a lifetime resource drain and a long-lasting symbol of Israeli brutality...

...does nothing to put $$$ in the pockets of these monsters.

This photo does.

Shame on them. They don’t represent me and I’ll never support them.

Look at Cory Booker trying to hide in the background. Shameful! This picture shows why the DEMS lost. Oh, and Israel is going to investigate itself, again? They will rule it an accident and move on. Unconscionable!

Yes!! This was exactly my thought! I was disgusted to see Cory Booker, in particular, amongst the other Democrats paying obeisance to this war criminal!! I had just recently, against my better judgment, extended him “another chance”. That is now GONE!! Truly enraging to see him, and the others, in this photo op.

It's really their constituents who need to speak out about their shameless conduct and their being beholden to AIPAC money.

The posing with a wanted war criminal is in itself inexcusable and unworthy of a Senator.

And well, the darker-skinned victim’s name was Sayfollah Musallet. Therefore he is probably considered Palestinian despite being a US native.

The reaction might have been different if his name were Sam or Nancy Miller and he had been a camera toting stereotypical middle-aged white tourist from Florida, not just an „immigrant‘s son“ who happened to be born in the US. Because by now, in the US the term „immigrant“ seems to refer to brown people only no matter their citizenship.

On July 22, 1946, the King David Hotel in Jerusalem was bombed by the Irgun, a Zionist paramilitary group, resulting in the deaths of 91 people. There’s been a long history of them acting with impunity!

Money in Politics needs to be a made an absolute key electoral issue, if that does not get fixed, there isn't much hope for real transformational change in western govts all around the world. There is no such thing as real democracy if this does not get changed.

No one from our government has the decency to ask for an independent investigation not an Israeli one! No one had the decency to call the family and pay "their condolences ". What country are we living in???

Shaming is the only solution for all of those geno supporters. Maybe this is me huffing copium but I strongly believe that justice will come. It feels like the world is finally on the verge of holding the zio’s accountable. I hope all or their supporters and disgusting cheerleaders in congress get held to account with them.

This is highly troubling. AIPAC money secures silence, allegiance and lots of weaponry and more money. It has for years. If in the 60s John Kennedy sounded the alarm, imagine how insidious the situation is now.

Why the hell should the family have to lead the charge on determining if the Israel is investigated it or not. We all need to keep rising up together. This is not a red or blue issue.

Nope, the US has been tied to Israel since 48, and it’s only deepened and become not only more blatant but incredibly dangerous and deadly for Arab Muslims and Christians!

So utterly despicable! Posing with a war criminal. They should be careful for their reputations and future elections! They all need to be on notice! And not one of them deserves to be in our government in the next election cycle!
