1. Members who vote for Ukraine aid must conscript in the Ukrainian Army

2. Israel aid will be used for the development of "space laser technology" on the Southern border

No Ukraine aid can be expended until Ukraine "closes all bio-laboratories."

VERY strong message from Edward Snowden on the murder of Alexei Navalny.

How's life as a Russian citizen? Free speech paradise as expected?

Oh. Image

This post made a lot of people angry, but the reply section is a fascinating dive into the most prevalent anti-Ukraine talking points:

• "Our taxes shouldn't go to foreigners"
• "US aid is money laundering"

Neither are particularly compelling, a thread. Image
"Our taxes shouldn't go to foreigners"

Good news, they're not!

Of the $68 billion in military and related assistance Congress has approved since Russia invaded Ukraine, almost 90% is going to Americans. Image
Aid is being injected directly into the economies of several states and reviving defense production capabilities that we desperately need as China rapidly builds up militarily.

The weapons we end up sending to Ukraine are being replaced domestically with modern equipment.

CODEPINK is an explicitly pro-Assad, pro-Putin, and pro-CCP organization partially bankrolled by a pro-CCP millionaire, which the New York Times recently reported.

Pelosi was obviously referring to the New York Times report + the protesters were all white women. Be serious.
I don't think people understand that Pelosi (and many other members of Congress) are very aware of CODEPINK mostly by force because CODEPINK has been shoving themselves in members' faces for decades at this point.
Imagine you had none of this context watching that video of Pelosi — did anyone not stop to think for a second that it would be very weird and random for Pelosi to tell a bunch of old white women to go back to their HQ in China for no reason? Let's use critical thinking.

Flushing a decade of Muslim and Arab integration into the Democratic coalition down the toilet for a lose-lose gamble — all to accomplish nothing.

This is idiotic, and you don't have to be a Muslim or a Democrat to see that.
The website cites the leader of CAIR Minnesota saying "we don’t have two options. We have many options. And we’re going to exercise that."

Who are these mystery "other options?" What have we deluded ourselves into believing here?
If you are an Arab or a Muslim who thinks directly or indirectly electing Donald Trump will give Palestinians self-determination, all the power to you, but I choose to live my life sober and touching the grass on planet Earth.

A decade ago, an Assad regime tank blew up my grandparents' home while they were still inside.

The misuse of Syria videos in the Israel-Palestine information war spits on their memory.

It must stop. My words for @Telegraph.

British influencer Sulaiman Ahmed posted an image of Syrian children who were gassed to death by the Assad regime.

He said it was a video of Palestinian children killed by the IDF. Ilhan Omar retweeted it. It went viral. Image
Israeli influencer Hananya Naftali posted a video of my great-grandmother's hometown Ariha being indiscriminately bombed.

He said it was a video of the IDF bombing Gaza. It went viral. Image
