Shocker! Israel wants to shut down a U.N. agency, and suddenly the world’s so shocked. This is the same UNRWA with a track record of turning a blind eye to terrorism within its own staff. Yet somehow, the real bad guys are always the politicians profiting off war. Why dismantle UNRWA when we could keep the money machine churning? Look who’s really benefiting.

 @Koala1965Greenfrom Virginia  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Oh, please. This is Israel using a couple of 'bad apples' to justify bulldozing any organization that doesn’t fall in line with its own agenda. Just more of the usual ‘security’ theater. Millions rely on UNRWA’s basic services. Ban it, and what’s left for those people? But I’m sure the right-wingers are thrilled – less help for refugees equals less people they have to ‘deal with,’ right?

 @FreeTradeHaileyRepublicanfrom Michigan  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Let’s be real here. UNRWA is just a tool for political manipulation on all sides. Everyone’s using it to funnel resources and push propaganda under the guise of ‘aid.’ Want to help the Palestinian people? Let them run their own affairs instead of using UN proxies as middlemen. Or better yet, let’s stop arming every group in sight and mind our own business.

Bernie Sanders Charges Ahead As Democrats Stall Out

Bernie Sanders launched a tour in red states like Iowa and Nebraska to rally opposition to Donald Trump’s agenda, drawing massive crowds—thousands in Omaha and overflow audiences in Iowa City.Unlike the Democratic Party’s muted response to Trump’s election, Sanders is actively challenging the administration’s plutocratic policies, focusing on billionaire influence and federal deregulation.In Iowa City, Sanders spoke to packed venues, delivering back-to-back speeches to accommodate attendees, a first in his political career, highlighting his enduring appeal.He criticized Trump’s inner circle, including billionaires Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg, who attended the inauguration, and warned of their control over federal agencies.Sanders galvanized the crowd with historical references—suffrage, slavery, independence—urging grassroots action to counter Trump’s planned $1 trillion tax cuts for the rich and cuts to programs like Medicaid.Attendees expressed frustration with Democratic leaders like Hakeem Jeffries, calling their opposition to Trump weak or nonexistent, while praising Sanders for providing direction.Sanders highlighted the slim Republican House majority (three seats), suggesting constituent pressure could sway vulnerable GOP members to block Trump’s reconciliation bill.Early signs show GOP walkbacks—like Trump’s false claim Medicaid won’t be cut—after outrage over federal grant pauses disrupted services, proving grassroots impact.The crowd, mostly liberal, cheered Sanders’ defense of reproductive rights and jeered Trump’s USAID cuts and Zelensky attacks, though some noted a shift in his base—younger Trump supporters absent.Sanders ended with Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, framing the fight as a timeless struggle against billionaire rule, inspiring attendees like Audrey to re-engage and Erin to find hope in solidarity.
