Right now, Muslims in Gaza are supposed to be celebrating Eid al-Adha.
Instead of feasting, they are starving. Instead of gathering with their loved ones, they are burying their children.
Netanyahu and the IDF can end this misery ANY time by agreeing to a ceasefire and allowing aid into Gaza.

Expected a proper apology from Joni Ernst? Nope. “Nothing of the pain her constituent felt. Nothing of the fear and distress felt widely among senior citizens. Just selfish, arrogant mockery intended for anyone that would dare to criticize her words.”

Christian Nationalists pretend that the United States was founded as a Christian nation, but the Constitution never mentions Jesus or Christianity. Not even once. Instead, it bans government promotion of *any* religion. Don't be fooled by their lying propaganda.
