The endorsement of the Block the Bombs Act by one of the largest caucuses in Congress gives a significant boost to efforts to hold Israel accountable for its genocidal war in Gaza.
Keep this in mind, vote-blue-no-matter-who liberals: Anyone who votes against this is dead on arrival in 2026 and 2028. Do not bother trying to guilt anyone into voting for a pro-genocide candidate. It won’t work, don’t waste their time or your own. If you wanna keep Republicans out of office so bad, throw your weight behind primary challengers to these ghouls. That is the only option you have.
Thank you! I began writing to Democratic members of the Senate who voted against Senator Sanders’ last two bills to ban funding for offensive weapons, including Cory Booker, who is purportedly exploring a second presidential run. I told him that if he wanted a Democrat to win, he should abandon any plans to run himself. No more Kamala’s, Pete Buttigieg’s or Tim Walz’, either, none of whom have changed their positions of unconditional support for Israel. Enough of the corporate Democrats. A new day is dawning. I haven’t sent money to any Democrat for a very long time, but I may have to make an exception for Congresswoman Ramirez.
No, sir. It is not my only choice. I am a survivor who was impregnated. I am also a friend of MANY people of Hispanic and Muslim origin who currently live in this crisis of the United States.
Let that sink in a minute and reread your comment.
I will vote for the Viable candidate who can keep Republicans aka Fists from expanding their control.
Fortunately, I live in California, which, for a while, meant that I could vote for the politicians I actually agreed with the most, like Sanders, or Warren, or ...
In the last election I saw Project 2025 and decided to vote uncommitted, because I knew Harris had CA, BUT I felt that I was kind of throwing my vote away in terms of stopping a F coup, and making things Even Worse for Palestinians and every other person of color who wasn't a Prince or a F Dictator already....
So I used "Swap my vote" I think it's called, and "traded" with a young woman in Pennsylvania who saw things the same way. She voted for Harris, knowing that I would vote "uncommitted" in her place.
Unfortunately, there were a few too many people like you who decided your "moral injury" was more important than doing the Intelligent Tactical Political thing, which made it MUCH easier for Musk to steal just enough votes in just enough districts to save Trump's freedom in exchange for ALL OF OUR DATA so he and his sick South African Mafia Billionaire Gang (which have Always profited, along with Israel, from slave labor in the mines.)
So NO, SIR. I will NOT let my emotions Or my PTSD - which have been Triggered by the Predator in Chief for 10 years now - override my primary goal of Saving Life On Earth, for the False Pride of pretending to save Palestinians while Actually enabling the Death of their Dream of statehood.
And I will try to talk to guys like you, who need to learn Chess.
The “intelligent practical political thing” is what we’ve been doing for the last several decades. It’s what got us Trump. At this point, it is undeniable that it doesn’t work. Capitulating to people who have proven they don’t care about you and won’t protect you or represent your values is what got us here in the first place.
The people you’re trying to guilt me into voting for are listening to hacks like Ezra Klein who are loudly recommending they run anti-abortion candidates. They had the chance to codify Roe before, and they chose not to - because if they did, they couldn’t threaten you with it to secure your vote anymore. They are playing you. They’re holding your rights hostage while never even promising to protect them - just that they won’t sell them out quite as much as the other guys. They will abandon you at the first opportunity, because they know you’ll vote for them anyway. Just ask the trans community, who have been watching Democrats roll over to the fascists on their rights for years. Just ask the Arab-Americans, who watched Biden constantly demonize them to justify an ethnic cleansing he was enabling. Just ask the immigrants, who were betrayed by Biden implementing what was at the time the most conservative and draconian border policy of all time. Do you really think they care about protecting your reproductive rights after they obliterated all of the healthcare infrastructure in Gaza? If they aren’t even willing to stand up against genocide, why on Earth would you believe them when they say they’ll stand up against anything else? You’re not playing chess, you’re playing poker - and all you’re doing is folding.
Y’all keep acting like the people who refused to vote Harris were being ridiculous, like this was some absurd moralistic high-horse movement. They made the most reasonable political demand of all time, and were willing to compromise on literally everything else they believe in, and the Democrats said “no.” They said “no” even when it was made clear they’d lose if they did - and Harris even admits that’s why she lost in her book. You should be furious at the Democrats, not the voters. Why’d they throw the most winnable election of all time, and put you in danger, by refusing to have an electable platform, especially when it was so easy and so obviously right? Why did they make the conscious choice to prioritize blowing up infants for Israel over protecting you from Trump? Telling people they should have voted for the Dems anyway isn’t intelligent or practical, it’s short-sighted and undemocratic. They’ll just keep doing this forever unless they feel consequences for it. The solution is not to badger voters into settling for genocidal lunatics - like I said, it’s not gonna work anymore anyway. That era of American politics is permanently dead. The solution is to demand Democrats be better than comparatively more polite fascists. Until you do that, they’ll keep losing. The only other things you can do are try for a third party or abandon electoral politics altogether and look elsewhere.
Just so you’re aware, I’m saying all of this as someone who *voted for Harris*. And I live in a swing state, so it mattered. I voted for her because I knew the whole process had been rendered completely hopeless by people like you, that Democrats wouldn’t change their policy about Gaza and wouldn’t learn their lesson if they lost because they knew you would keep enabling them anyway. And that’s exactly what’s happened. Even as they continue to prove they believe in nothing, will never meaningfully fight, and will let you suffer if it suits them, you’re still directing your rage at your fellow people rather than the ghouls who are actually responsible. At this point, I’m convinced that there’s nothing the Democrats could do that would make people like you stand up to them, so long as they were still slightly better than the Republicans. Please prove me wrong.
And just to set the record straight: there’s absolutely no reason to believe Harris would be doing anything different from what Trump is doing in Gaza. None. Zero. She might have done it slower, and her rhetoric might have sounded nicer, but practically speaking, the same things would be happening. Everything Trump is doing now is only possible because of the foundation built by her and Biden. Any belief you have that she’d have been meaningfully better than him is purely wishful thinking.
Thank you. I couldn’t bring myself to vote for Harris because of her support for genocide. I don’t live in a swing state, but even if I did, I would not have been able to cross that bridge. It’s something I found out about myself. I ended up voting “uncommitted,” although there was no visible uncommitted movement where I live. I refuse to blame or doubt myself, or be guilt-tripped or gas-lighted by those for whom genocide is not a bridge too far. I put it where it rightfully belongs — on them. The people who will “vote blue no matter who.” The ones who will choose in the primaries the war mongers like Biden (e.g., Iraq) over Sanders. Because, you know, their own interests, regardless of how compelling or not compelling, will always trump even the right of a whole people to exist. They own the Democrats’ loss. I wash my hands.
Not enough yet, and a long time coming, but at least a sizable number of congress members are finally showing courage and decency by supporting this bill.
In a civilized world, where basic human rights laws were followed, all weapons to the apartheid, racist "state" of Israel should be halted, Israel should endure maximum sanctions: political, economic, cultural. A no-fly zone should be immediately enforced over Gaza and the West Bank, and aid should flood Palestine, whether Israel likes it or not.
Please explain specifically what the endorsement of the CPC will mean. There are 49 current co-sponsors but there are 100 members of the CPC; Will the names of the other CPC members now be added to the co-sponsors list? Or will this just be a separate endorsement without legislative meaning?
I gave this a heart which communicates the bill and the reporting. There is nothing that, this long after it began, can resurrect people and places. The reported numbers have to be far lower than reality. The destruction of everything in addition to lives is so distressing. The West Bank. And Lebanon. Now Qatar. In hopes it’s passed will it be signed?

As long as Zeteo is hypocritical by just blaming Jews and completly ignoring the plight of my Islamic brothers and sisters who are being geinocided China only becuase believe in Islam I reserve my right to call Zeteo a hypocrate because they ignore the genocide of followers of Islam by the Chineese government in china. All Mr. Ben has to do is admit that he is ignoring the genocide of followers of Islam in China and just blaming everything on Jews in Isreal. THE JEWS IN ISREAL HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE GENOCIDE OF FOLLOWERS OF ISLAM IN CHINA. IT IS THE GOVERNMENT OF CHINA THAT IS COMMITING GENOICDE AGAINST ITS ISLAMIC CITIZENS. Admit this MR. Ben and I will go away, this is not span, this is pointing out Mr. Ben's hypocracy and I will go away if the acknowledges the genocide of the followers of Islam in CHINA INSTEAD OF IGNORING THEM because he only cares about Arabs being persecuted for their Islamic beliefs. He and his supporters are hypocrites I am just point that out as I have a right to do. Hypocracy is not hard to understand if you actually care about people in China who are being genocided right now by the government of China and Mr. Ben is silent the hypocracy of MR. Ben is unbelieveable.
LOOK: YOU KEEP ACCUSING ZETEO OF "BLAMING THE JEWS" WHICH THEY HAVE DONE NO SUCH THING. YOU KEEP DOING THIS DESPITE ZERO EVIDENCE. YOU WANT TO BRING ATTENTION TO ANOTHER WAR CRIME? THAT'S FINE. BUT DOING SO DOES NOT MEAN FALSELY CLAIMING ZETEO HAS MADE STATEMENTS THEY NEVER HAVE. YOUR OWN STATEMENTS MAKE YOU SOUND ZIONIST.
Yes as I said before what you are quoting is a bill that is proposed in the United States Congress, that is not "proof" of anything. At the very least get a quote from a journalistic source like a newspaper, Congress is not a journalistic source. How am I bullying anyone, by telling the truth. YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TURTH THAT IS THE TURTH!!
Zeteo and their leader Mr. Ben are grown ups. I have specifically Mr. Ben that if he does not want me posting, he can post on this message board that he no longer wants me to post my opinions. I will respect Mr. Ben's position, but he has to speak for himself and not let others speak for him. I think that is fair do not you????
That is a congressional bill, I am not talking about Congress I am talking about Zeteo, I admit that the Congress of the USA does care about what is happening to the followers of Islam in China, even though Zeteo does not seem to care.
Why Wouldn't "Islamic" interests try to protect fellow Muslims (or any humans) from war crimes including deliberate starvation by blocking more offensive weapons* from reaching the army that is slaughtering and starving women and children?
*(including dumb bombs that could easily kill the few remaining hostages taken from Israel)
That is a really good question. However, the people who follow Islam and are being persecuted by the government of Israel are Arabs. The people who follow Islam in China are not Arabs, they are not from the middle east at all, they are from China, obviously. The said fact is that the Arabs only care about Arabs they do not care about what is happening to the poor followers of Islam in China because they are ethnically not Arabs, duh, that should be obvious to you. I care because as I said before I have ancestors from China, and if this posting board is supposed to protect all people who follow Islam not just Arabs, they have to condemn what is happening to my people as well. Maybe they do care about my people, maybe they just care about Arabs if that is the case they should post this on the information they give to the public and I will seek justice for my Islamic relatives elsewhere.
Elena, Zeteo is Not about defending Islam and those who follow it. It is a very new media organization focused on politics in the United States, with many different writers of different backgrounds. It's purpose is speaking truth to power primarily HERE in the US.
Zeteo reports about the clearly documented and IC described war crimes being committed by Israel against Gaza's civilians, hospitals, schools, aid workers and places of worship (and increasingly in the West Bank)
Because the US is funding the war and providing Most of the weapons!
All the big bombs being used to demolish one of the most densely populated urban areas on earth, before our very eyes, every day, where 40% of the people are Children, are paid for by Our Taxes. Our Money.
I hope this clears up your confusion. I'm sure it's frustrating that you see China oppressing Uyghurs (your ancestors? I can tell you from having traveled around the very diverse Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region twice (in 83 and 93) that Uyghurs would probably not say that they are "from China." Unless it was in their interest to do so. They'd probably say "from Kashgar" or "Urumqi" or the oasis/city of their family.)
They are a Turkic minority and they do not Want to be assimilated by the Chinese and that is why they are being persecuted. It has been going on for over 10 years and little has been done by Any other country, or Sunnis, to help them.
Few media, including Zeteo, have covered the terrible civil war and famine in Sudan, either. Because we are not complicit. But many, like me, have been writing to our elected official to do more to help both the Uyghurs and the people of Sudan, with diplomacy and sanctions, not bombs.
And I think you are right. Considering all of this, it may take someone like you to research and keep track and blog on here to try to bring more attention to the plight of your people in China.
Railing at an overstretched, US focused, brand new media group will not get the job done.
Arab *leaders* don’t care about Arabs either. Look at Gaza? You’re not getting anywhere with these tirades. So many Muslims are boycotting SHEIN bc of where the clothes are coming from. I’m starting to think you’re just rage baiting
Not maybe it is pretty obvious that they (Zeteo )do not care about people who are from China who follow Islam they only care about people from the middle east who follow Islam. That to me is being a HYPOCRITE!!! I do not know how you can explain this any other way.
It’s time we expect the elected officials to actually work for others rather than for reelection or sound bites. We don’t need presidential “yes men” nor people who constantly oppose, we just need people actually willing to solve long term problems.
Just want to point out that this is ALL Democrats for the few that insist on saying that "both parties are the same" - one of the most powerful pieces of propaganda the Oligarchs push in the silos of the left.

There is precedent in the UN to bypass the Security Council and authorize an armed force, it's been done before. Nothing else will stop Israel at this point.
Former senior UN human rights chief Craig Mokhiber and the organization People Against Genocide Everywhere have laid out a 3-phase plan that describes how this could work:
Because the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has determined that Israel does not hold sovereignty in Gaza or any other part of the occupied territories. It has no right to be there and has no authority or decision-making power over what happens there. That is now clearly established as a matter of international law.
The plan utilizes the Uniting for Peace Resolution, which was first adopted in 1950 as a way for the UN General assembly to circumvent The Security Council, where the veto of one member (in this case, of course, the US) can stymie UN action. This resolution was successfully implemented in the Suez Crisis of 1956.
The first critical step is for one UN member state – in any region – to formally request an Emergency Special Session (ESS) of the UN General Assembly. This request activates a 24-hour countdown for the General Assembly to convene and address the crisis.
Once the ESS is underway, the focus must shift to ensuring swift adoption of a comprehensive General Assembly Uniting for Peace Resolution. This resolution must authorize the deployment of a UN mandated multinational armed protective force to Gaza, to safeguard Palestinian civilians, support the UN’s unrestricted entry and distribution of humanitarian aid, preserve evidence of potential war crimes and violations of human rights, and facilitate reconstruction of Gaza.
This stage should also include accountability for Israel, including a full embargo of al arms shipments to Israel, and stripping Israel of its UN credentials.
The final phase is the commitment of the member states to enforcing the resolution: After the resolution passes, which requires a two-thirds majority, the real test begins: every nation that votes ‘yes’ must publicly state what resources they will contribute—troops, planes, ships, humanitarian aid.
Keep this in mind, vote-blue-no-matter-who liberals: Anyone who votes against this is dead on arrival in 2026 and 2028. Do not bother trying to guilt anyone into voting for a pro-genocide candidate. It won’t work, don’t waste their time or your own. If you wanna keep Republicans out of office so bad, throw your weight behind primary challengers to these ghouls. That is the only option you have.

Maybe they do care about my people, maybe they just care about Arabs if that is the case they should post this on the information they give to the public and I will seek justice for my Islamic relatives elsewhere.
Elena, Zeteo is Not about defending Islam and those who follow it. It is a very new media organization focused on politics in the United States, with many different writers of different backgrounds. It's purpose is speaking truth to power primarily HERE in the US.
Zeteo reports about the clearly documented and IC described war crimes being committed by Israel against Gaza's civilians, hospitals, schools, aid workers and places of worship (and increasingly in the West Bank)
Because the US is funding the war and providing Most of the weapons!
All the big bombs being used to demolish one of the most densely populated urban areas on earth, before our very eyes, every day, where 40% of the people are Children, are paid for by Our Taxes. Our Money.
I hope this clears up your confusion. I'm sure it's frustrating that you see China oppressing Uyghurs (your ancestors? I can tell you from having traveled around the very diverse Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region twice (in 83 and 93) that Uyghurs would probably not say that they are "from China." Unless it was in their interest to do so. They'd probably say "from Kashgar" or "Urumqi" or the oasis/city of their family.)
They are a Turkic minority and they do not Want to be assimilated by the Chinese and that is why they are being persecuted. It has been going on for over 10 years and little has been done by Any other country, or Sunnis, to help them.
Few media, including Zeteo, have covered the terrible civil war and famine in Sudan, either. Because we are not complicit. But many, like me, have been writing to our elected official to do more to help both the Uyghurs and the people of Sudan, with diplomacy and sanctions, not bombs.
And I think you are right. Considering all of this, it may take someone like you to research and keep track and blog on here to try to bring more attention to the plight of your people in China.
Railing at an overstretched, US focused, brand new media group will not get the job done.
Arab *leaders* don’t care about Arabs either. Look at Gaza? You’re not getting anywhere with these tirades. So many Muslims are boycotting SHEIN bc of where the clothes are coming from. I’m starting to think you’re just rage baiting
Not maybe it is pretty obvious that they (Zeteo )do not care about people who are from China who follow Islam they only care about people from the middle east who follow Islam. That to me is being a HYPOCRITE!!! I do not know how you can explain this any other way.
This is the most wonderful news to date. Considering their situation, their courage in the face of fear is remarkable.
Thank you for your update.
It’s time we expect the elected officials to actually work for others rather than for reelection or sound bites. We don’t need presidential “yes men” nor people who constantly oppose, we just need people actually willing to solve long term problems.
The USA is no more; it's the Zio-Nazistan.
It’s taken so painfully long for these people to get it into their heads
They have the intellectual capability of a mushroom

It's a victory. I'll take it.
Just want to point out that this is ALL Democrats for the few that insist on saying that "both parties are the same" - one of the most powerful pieces of propaganda the Oligarchs push in the silos of the left.
Of course, as a woman, and a survivor who was impregnated, I want to scream every time I see it...
I do concede that All politicians deserve Scrutiny and Constructive criticism.
Speaking of which, the Congressional Progressive Caucus is a demonstration of how much influence Bernie has had since he ran for President. Sadly, while there are almost a hundred House members, Bernie is currently the Only Senator.
Good time to Thank your own reps or Suggest joining, (or at signing the res) (202) 224-3121.

This is good..could be better....
There is precedent in the UN to bypass the Security Council and authorize an armed force, it's been done before. Nothing else will stop Israel at this point.
Former senior UN human rights chief Craig Mokhiber and the organization People Against Genocide Everywhere have laid out a 3-phase plan that describes how this could work:
Because the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has determined that Israel does not hold sovereignty in Gaza or any other part of the occupied territories. It has no right to be there and has no authority or decision-making power over what happens there. That is now clearly established as a matter of international law.
The plan utilizes the Uniting for Peace Resolution, which was first adopted in 1950 as a way for the UN General assembly to circumvent The Security Council, where the veto of one member (in this case, of course, the US) can stymie UN action. This resolution was successfully implemented in the Suez Crisis of 1956.
The first critical step is for one UN member state – in any region – to formally request an Emergency Special Session (ESS) of the UN General Assembly. This request activates a 24-hour countdown for the General Assembly to convene and address the crisis.
Once the ESS is underway, the focus must shift to ensuring swift adoption of a comprehensive General Assembly Uniting for Peace Resolution. This resolution must authorize the deployment of a UN mandated multinational armed protective force to Gaza, to safeguard Palestinian civilians, support the UN’s unrestricted entry and distribution of humanitarian aid, preserve evidence of potential war crimes and violations of human rights, and facilitate reconstruction of Gaza.
This stage should also include accountability for Israel, including a full embargo of al arms shipments to Israel, and stripping Israel of its UN credentials.
The final phase is the commitment of the member states to enforcing the resolution: After the resolution passes, which requires a two-thirds majority, the real test begins: every nation that votes ‘yes’ must publicly state what resources they will contribute—troops, planes, ships, humanitarian aid.
