Never concede to right-wing framing

The polices are popular. The more Democratic socialists in office that deliver positive material change, the more popular it becomes

anti-genocide should also be a non-negotiable 'purity test' as well, to the dismay of many establishment Dems arms-deep in AIPAC money

That's not a response to either of the articles about Harris' statements. How brain-dead can you be?

You know who are the ones advocating for child marriage laws? Republicans, White Christian Nationalists.

Yeah dude, for sure

In May 1958, Israel was invited to a meeting of the Council of Europe. After that, a special commission was set up to discuss Israel's possible participation in the NATO economic procurement program.[5] After that, Israel began to supply weapons and military equipment to the countries that are part of this organization.[6][7]

In December 1987, Israel signed a memorandum with the United States on the status of a major non-NATO ally. This status was awarded by the US administration to particularly close allies with whom it maintains strategic relations but is not a member of the organization.[8][9] This step was initiated by Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin.[10] The memorandum strengthened ties between the two countries in the field of defense research, development and procurement. It also included logistical support for Israel. The document compared Israel's status in the United States with that of a NATO member, which allowed it to participate in and gain access to U.S. security development programs. The memorandum also simplified the access of the Israeli defense industry to tenders from NATO countries. This was supposed to make it easier for them to participate in the tenders of the NATO countries.[11]

In November 2017, Israel and NATO signed an agreement on the mutual exchange of security information.[25]

On February 9, 2018, a cooperation agreement was signed between Israel and NATO. This agreement gave Israeli companies the opportunity to participate in NATO tenders.[26]

A few weeks ago, Commander of NATO Maritime Command Vice Admiral Keith Blount said, “Israel has been an important partner to NATO for more than 20 years as well as an active member of [the] Mediterranean Dialogue.”

Settlers were always all of those things tbf. Even the dehumanizing propaganda and ethnic cleansing tactics have barely changed

AJ has more details

It's not too surprising that this story has been picked up mostly by Israeli outlets, ignoring both the complete control of Aid that Israel has had deliberately restricted for years (and decades before Oct 7) as well as the Israeli-backed gangs that have historically disrupted aid
