Following the opening salvo in Israel’s bombardment of Iran, many members of Congress rushed to declare their support for the Jewish state. Some went further, demanding the White House defend Tel Aviv from retaliation. A small number of lawmakers criticized Israel and urged Washington to stay out of the conflict.

The article offers a set of post from US politicians calling to support Israel and even a regime change. It also points out that a handful of lawmakers did oppose the Israeli strikes. Like Rep. Massie, who was the only member of Congress to point out that the attack Israel launched on Friday was an offensive war of aggression.

    “The intelligence we get from the Israelis is too valuable to go against them.” -The US

    I personally don’t care. If you don’t treat others right, you are bad people. Collusion included. I’ve been mad at the US ever since they dragged us into the Iraq war with their lies about WMD’s, and they have tons of other bad acts as well - in Vietnam, Venezuela, and more.

    I think that now is a perfect time for us Europeans to start pulling away from the hypocrisy.
