“We cannot let the warmongers win; our country and our world are calling for restraint,” said Rep. Cori Bush.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib and Rep. Cori Bush hold up signs as President Joe Biden delivers the State of the Union address during a joint meeting of Congress in the House chamber at the U.S. Capitol on March 07, 2024.earlier this month, progressive lawmakers in the U.S. are warning fellow lawmakers against calling for a war against Iran — and instead are calling for an immediate ceasefire “on all sides” as Israel’s aggression in Palestine and beyond is causing conflict across the Middle East.
“It is clearer than ever that Benjamin Netanyahu’s warmongering is putting the lives of millions of civilians at risk, including the Israeli people,”. “The collective punishment leveled against the Palestinian people as well as Israeli military actions in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and Iraq have created a dangerous powder keg that threatens to become a regional war. Netanyahu is willing to endanger the lives of millions just to draw the U.S. deeper into a conflict whose flame he fans.
Critics say that stopping the spread of hostilities would require the U.S. to end its support of Israel amid its genocidal assault of Gaza and its violence in the West Bank, Lebanon, and beyond — something the administration has shown no interest in doing. Asand in fact has already seen heavy involvement from the U.S., with military aid to Israel as well as direct military support through actions like U.S.
“ must be held accountable for the aggression it has long shown toward Israel not only directly but also indirectly through proxies like Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis,”Bush condemned such warmongering statements, saying they were clearly calling for a war that has not been authorized by Congress.
