WHEN SECRETARY MARCO Rubio proposed a sweeping reorganization of the State Department on Tuesday, he singled out a human rights office that he said had become a platform for “left-wing activists” to pursue “arms embargoes” on Israel: the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor.
Rubio is proposing to rename the bureau, downsize it, and shunt it under another section of the State Department. The bureau’s duties include writing an annual human rights report — which has been critical of Israel — and enforcing a law banning aid to military units that violate human rights that has rankled Israeli leaders.
On one level, the accusation that the bureau was a hotbed of anti-Israel activism baffled critics of the State Department’s handling of the Gaza war. Their push to block weapon sales to Israel went nowhere under Joe Biden’s secretary of state, Antony Blinken.
Sounds like you’re openly calling both of these options evil and can’t comprehend why people don’t support either one. People have to draw a line somewhere and neither party was willing (perhaps purposely so) to come back from that line of slaughtering innocent men, women, and children in cold blood. I suspect the Dems threw the election on purpose to give Trump the ball so that he could implement things that benefit the politicians on both sides while he takes all the heat.
