Democrat politicians are objecting to the strikes in the Caribbean—as should everyone.
But Democrats have supported the Israeli government in continuously perpetrating precisely these same war crimes, including "double tap" murders in which they strike a civilian target, then hit the survivors.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.
