Democratic Whip Katherine Clark of Massachusetts called Israel’s war on Gaza a genocide Thursday night, making her the highest-ranking House Democratic official to do so.
Up to this point, Clark has largely aligned with the rest of Democratic leadership on Israel’s war – expressing concern for civilian harm, advocating for an “end to the hostilities” (and, eventually calling for a ceasefire), and criticizing the Benjamin Netanyahu government. But she has fallen short of advocating for conditioning or ending aid to Israel, or supporting resolutions like Rep. Delia Ramirez’s “Block the Bombs” Act.
AIPAC features Clark on their website alongside the five other top Republicans and Democrats in the House, with the caption: “We stand with those who stand with Israel.”
One day, everyone will have been against this
And will be busy promulgating a new genocide
And that's why I love the idea of the accountability archive.
Never let them remove their uniform. Never let them slip back into their old roles. Never let them pretend they were against the genocide before it was convenient.
i foresee the accountability archive's reputation being tarnished by entities like the american government; the heritage foundation; aipac; etc. and that tarnishment being enabled by legacy and social media.
in the future: the accountability archive will be regarded by people in the west in the same way that antifa is regarded by maga now.
And they'll blame the actual left for muddying the waters or something which made it take longer for them to realize what was actually going on
Matt Yglesias already has an article out blaming us for "Crying wolf" about genocide
i wish he'd be fed to a wolf
That spongebob meme w/ the diapers but it's labeled clear evidence of genocide and it ends with "how could the left hide this from us"
