Middle East: Saudis Murder & Dismember Washington Post Contributor

Oooops.


So sorry, we mistakenly plotted to murder and dismember a member of the American press we didn't like.
 
 
House passes measure to end U.S. military involvement in Yemen, repudiating Trump’s backing of Saudi-led coalition

The House on Wednesday passed a resolution to end U.S. military support for the Saudi-led coalition operating in Yemen, a repudiation of President Trump’s continued cooperation with and defense of the kingdom and its crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman.

The measure passed 248 to 177, and was supported by 230 Democrats and 18 Republicans. It marks the end of a months-long campaign from the legislation’s sponsors, whom House Republicans blocked last year from bringing the measure to the floor — even as a bipartisan majority of the Senate voted to approve it. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) had promised a vote on the measure when Democrats took over the House this year.

The war-powers legislation now heads back to the Senate, where sponsors said they are “hopeful” that similar numbers of Republicans and Democrats will vote for it when it comes up in the next few weeks. But even if they manage to pass the resolution in that body, Trump is already threatening to veto the measure — and Congress does not have the votes to overcome it.

I’m not saying this post is anti-semitic, but Israel has expressed very strong support for the US withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal.

It's not at all anti-Semitic. As I've said many times, Netanyahu is a huge impediment to peace.

In fact many Israelis disagree with Netanhyahu.

"This has created the impression that while Americans are divided on the issue, Israelis are not. That is a false impression. Like the United States, Israel is a vibrant democracy in which issues are vigorously debated. While some experts support Netanyahu’s position, the excerpts that follow demonstrate strong disagreement by Israelis who have served in senior positions in Israel’s defense establishment.

Ehud Barak, former Israeli prime minister and former defense minister, Oct. 2017:

“It would be a mistake for President Trump to decertify the Iran nuclear deal. Even if America decides to pull out of it, no one will join — not the Chinese, not the Russians, not even the Europeans. It will serve the Iranians.”

"Despite Faults, Iran Nuclear Deal Works, Israeli Military Chief Tells Haaretz"

Only RW morons in the US and Israel support his insane action.
