Strange they would do it this way. I know it has been done before, but I can count on one hand the number of people in congress who would vote against this, and that is being generous. They may as well have gone through proper channels to continue their vaunted illusion of democracy.

I would assume it expediates the process so that they don't have to worry about any possible break in murdering civilians.

Most likely done because:

  1. Biden wants to tie official aid to the zionist occupation to a bill funding the fascist regime in Ukraine which Republicans refuse

  2. Biden is such a deranged zionist he wants to take sole credit and cut out congress and the Republicans and use it as a campaign tactic to brag he did this.

  3. At the behest of DNC party leadership to protect their members against not insignificant parts of their base which are angry by having one less thing Dem votes are on record for in terms of supporting it. This gains more credence if the plan actually is to ditch him at the convention and bring out someone else though that seems unlikely this close to the finish.

They're afraid the fascist killers can't win against their victims.

The US is the biggest terrorist organization in human history.

Title makes it seem like there's something inherent in this administration that is uniquely to blame for this. Any US administration would have. I'm no expert in American electoralist crap, does anyone know if they hadn't bypassed Congress is there a chance that this would have been stopped?

If Congress can be bypassed, then the congressional path only exists for show: for lending further legitimacy and/or spreading/shifting accountability.

Good point, at least we didn't have to see AOC shed crocodile tears this time.

Palestine

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.
