A community for everything related to Palestine and the occupation currently underway by the occupying force known as Israel.
Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism. Existence is resistance for Palestinians.
Please refer to Israel as Occupied Palestine, or occupied territories. The IDF is a fascist and ethnonationalist occupying force. Israelis are settlers. We understand however that the imperial narrative (which tries to legitimise Israel) is internalised in the imperial core and slip-ups are naturally expected.
We always take the sides of Palestine and Palestinians and are unapologetic about it. Israel is an occupying power whose "defence force"'s (note the contradiction) sole purpose for existing is to push Palestinians out so they can resettle their rightful land. If you have anything positive to say about Israel we do not care.

So to be clear, this might be Kaine trying to 4d chess a vote that shows that there is not support for going to war against Iran. If the vote doesn't pass, the constitution requires that we don't go to war (don't laugh!)
Now, if it does pass then things are really bad.
This is assuming that Kaine doesn't want to go to war. I could be wrong about this because Kaine is shit, but surely not this shit. Maybe?
Isn't Kaine a Russia/Iran hawk?
I'd have to go and research. He was on Hillary's ticket in 2016 and that was around the time that Obama did the Iran nuclear deal so I don't think so? But he's an establishment Democrat so who knows what AIPAC has convinced him of
Did a little digging. Doesn't look like Kaine's a Bolton-type, but he does seem to be convinced for years that Iran has a nuclear weapons program and somehow it's the US's responsibility to stop it.
