Rep. Katie Porter says the State Dept. is sitting on memos of human rights violations by Israel

- The U.S. is still considering providing aid to an Israeli military unit after determining it was credibly implicated in gross human rights violations against Palestinians prior to October 7th. Rep. Katie Porter, who received a rare individual briefing from the State Department, says she has major questions about why this is happening. "The law is clear here. What is not clear is what has happened at the State Department and who, if anyone, besides Secretary Blinken may be implicated in this decision."

It’s time to ban AIPAC.
Ban AIPAC, CPAC, “D”PAC and we’re already starting to see corruption from both sides. We need another party or multiple parties
Support the “ Reject AIPAC ” organization created by progressives to fight against AIPAC and spread the word.
@@boomieboo I’m done supporting the “progressives” , everyone of them are class traitors.
Isreal say her name after her taking the free isreal trip but they don’t say they gave money just that they can’t say. But she told them she’d bring more over to isreal so I don’t believe her.
Blinken must be prosecuted for breaking US law. He is Bibis stooge.
HE HAS DUAL U.S. / IZREEL CITIZENSHIP, BUT WE ALL CAN SEE HE WORKS FOR IZREEL , NOT THE AMERICAN CITIZENS
Impeachable offense!
Save that for felonious x presidents.
Katie porter is lowkey one of the BEST representatives we have in government. She doesn’t take any money from lobbyists, and she calls out injustice where others fail to.
She would make an excellent president for our families and economy.
She is zionist whoe stop being naives
Agreed - Decent Lady !
That’s only because she lost her primary
@@ousmanediallo-cp1jm or maybe that’s why she lost her primary?
Billions for Israel, how about broken infrastructures, resources for inner city schools, help for struggling lower middle class, homeless people in America, people going bankrupt failing to pay medical bills.
Exactly, Israel has free education and free healthcare among other benefits that we don't have but yet our government sends them billions. Makes no sense
The aid package works out to $2,700 for each U.S. taxpayer. It is very disturbing.
IMO, 60% of U.S. taxpayers could use that money.
This is either a crime against math itself or you're just intentionally lying. Since 1948 we've given israel about 300B, adjusted for inflation. With 330M citizens that's roughly 910 per person if only today's citizens contributed. I'm 100% against the aid package but you're jusy lying
Thank you Katie Porter! We need to sue the Govt for not following the Leahy Law. Blinker is a criminal.
Losing her voice in Congress is going to be a terrible loss. There's no one else quite like her.
I want her to run for President.
@@lunamequa yep.
Not really. Her dog and pony show with CEOs was entirely performative, to make it look like congress is doing something while in reality it was doing absolutely nothing. And she couldn’t even call for a cease fire in Israel. She is probably not the worst person in congress, but wouldn’t say we’re gonna miss any law, initiative, or even a voice of conscience. If anything, she is finding one only now.
@@mnemonija You have not read her statements. She has advocated for peace. She sits on the National Security and Foreign Affairs Committees and she just revealed in the last week that Blinken has had reports on his desk about human rights violations which he WITHHELD from the committee. If you are going to express an opinion, get informed.
@@jessiejoseph1093 i watched the ca primary debate, and wasn’t on top of her mind to mention it. And fair enough, three pro genocide candidates ended on top of the fourth anti-war candidate.
Thanks Katie Porter - one of the only members of Congress who is willing to question the government’s decisions or lack thereof, even if she is part of the party (partly) in power. Bravo!
Thanks my a$$. Barbara Lee first and only that came out from the start to say stop funding Israel.
No country should be above the law.
Israel should be no exception. The word out of Israel is that Hamas is the problem yet the human rights violations by Israel shows just the opposite.
5 most ridiculous words in the English language:
"Assurances from the Israeli Government."
I think any 8 year old child in Gaza could have told you this decades ago
I want Katie Porter as our president.
In the meantime vote for Jill Stein
Katie would be a blessing as President.
How are we supposed to protest then? If i can only speak up when you allow me too, how will change ever be made?
Protesting has always been allowed in the US. I'm not sure what you mean.
First step, vote. Second step, refuse to vote for anyone who receives funds from any pro-Israel group.
@ClarityDetermination tell that to all the people protesting across the country being attacked by cops and IDF soldiers.
@@ClarityDeterminationHahaha. Learn American history, please. We have the right to protest only when we fight for it.
@@ClarityDetermination You sure know your stuff.
Never take NuttyYahoo or IDF word for anything.
MSNBC should be covering this story day in and day out!!
Only coverage I've seen
It is crazy that the USA is openly supporting Genocide....we have come a long way
Indeed!! Too bad MSNBC is now nothing more than a mouthpiece for AIPAC and Israel.
They only cover pro isreal propaganda. Morning Joe is basically the Isreal government media
As usual, Rep. Porter is going above and beyond. Her diligence will be sorely missed.
Where do you think she's going?
United States of AIPAC
War crimes
I would vote for Porter is she ran for president.
she is useless
You probably already voted for Biden and learned nothing, Mainstream media brainwashed you completely
I think you'll get your chance in the near future.
Me too. I am begging for that.
President of the Pig sty
Colonizers will always protect and support Colonizers...
Amerikkka!
THANK YOU KATIE. YOU'VE GOT THE CAJONES WHERE CONGRESS HAS NONE
She's a he now huh
She won’t be Senator. We In CA have spoke 😂😂
Finally, someone comes out and says what we all see with our own eyes. Good for you, Katie.
Katie Porter is a genuine light of natural born decency.
Thank you Katie Porter!
Katie is a heavy hitter for righteous justice. Underestimated
and a definite contender for future greatness !!! ❤❤
Rejected clearly by California for Lying Adam Schiff!😂😂
Ole Shiny-Faced, Pencil Neck Adam Schiff.
Fortunately, we haven't seen the last of Ms Porter. ❤
@barbaravandenbulcke190 She's like hemorrhoids?
Unfortunately, we haven’t seen the last of Ms Porter.
Katie Porter needs to be protected.
This goes to show you, you can't be against genocide for one group of people and then be for it for another group because it makes you look like a hypocrite.
look up "holocaust survivors join protests" I tried to link but it is getting censored.
I'd say actually it MAKES one a hypocrite. Yep.
It's usually the hypocrites trying to make vague gestures at imagined hypocrisy, too. I hit them with the "do you oppose wiping out civilians no matter who is doing it or why?" and they go suspiciously silent or change the subject, thereby revealing that they're the hypocrites. I have consistent principles and have no difficulty answering that question.
Only one group of people is at present the victim of an ongoing genocide tho.
@@PunkiBrooster Yeah, of course. But the point stands as it relates to maintaining consistent principles.
So, does America have a special process for aid to Israel as a workaround for the human rights crimes they are committing? If we make receiving aid contingent on individual military units, then Israel only needs to keep some units in compliance in order to receive aid as a country. This sounds like a huge loophole designed to allow US military contractors and the government to continue the big business of selling weapons.
So wild! Couldn't a country restructure military units smaller and smaller to escape accountability?
Katie works. Bravo. GGG
Katy Porter ❤
In 60s students change course of brutal vietnam war and the horrendous apartheid apartheid in South Africa.
This is probably the only show left on corporate media that remains worth watching 👏
Katie Porter for President! Please! 🇺🇸
Go Katie!
I’m glad she’s speaking out. I’ve always liked her but was concerned that she hadn’t said too much til now. Thanks Katie Porter.
Oh see C-SPAN. she baked the US millitary reps golden brown every chance.
When the nation ignore injustice and brutal oppression, students express their disgust and protest the brutal oppression.
Here we go people. Corruption and the cover up is real
I wish Katie Porter was representing me in the Senate! She has more than earned it.
How can our lawmakers willfully send billions of dollars to a foreign country who is committing gross violations of human rights and war crimes while our wages are stagnating, our health care system is broken and the cost of living is going up.
What about holding Blinken accountable for ignoring US laws?
Protests matter. Rules against aid to units that violate human rights stem directly from protests against the military's School of the Americas led by Martin Sheen, Susan Sarandon and others.
Protect this woman.
Easy to Talk the Talk, but Now walk the walk
How can she do that on her own, with such a rotten Congress, with such a lousy Speaker in the House?
Stop Lobbying in Congress and Senate. Current form of Lobbying is Bribing the Lawmaker. Let Lobby without money and then see what the Lawmakers actually value.
Continued aid to a country committing genocide is an appalling policy failure. Now we hear it's also illegal to aid human rights violations, as it should be. This will come back to bite Biden.
No it won't. It's not Biden's fault republicans are all owned.
Why is hamas destroying the aid pier that the US is building?
Probably, but hopefully not enough to give Donald the presidency; he will be far worse for Palestine.
@@barbaravandenbulcke190 Biden won't win because of his genocidal actions and hopefully Trump will be jailed.
We can hope. But it's been ongoing for 75 years. Without a lot more noise, it won't ever end until the z io scheme is complete.
The State Department needs to file Human Rights charges against Israel.
Katie, I love you, but you're last response about student protests was sadly disappointing.
I agree, she should be out there, protesting with them!
Thank you Katie, we need more young voices to speak up. Bernie has been the lone voice for too long.
What are the students doing wrong? What are these “limits ?” How are they surpassing their enshrined liberties?
She’s bluffing, this whole thing is a show.
It’s just that they don’t like what they’re protesting. The protests have been overwhelmingly peaceful
The same 🇮🇱 exemption, exclusion, exception - as with literally ANY & EVERYTHING. 😑
God bless both Ayman AND Katie. I thought this convo was dead in the water at MSNBC, so your coverage on this is really courageous and vital. More of your colleagues should speak out.
This should be updated on daily.
Tell it like it is Katie. We have great respect for you to challenge the vicious Israeli lobby and the liars in the Israeli government. Long live Palestine.
Was oct 7th a lie?
@@bethanyhealy4989 I hope you come to realize that just wandering around comment sections saying "Oct. 7th" over and over again accomplishes nothing whatsoever. You're like a caricature of a strawman I'd have invented if you didn't already exist.
@@bethanyhealy4989 no, of course not. But the Palestinians have been subject to Israeli military occupation for nearly 80 years. The Israeli torture chambers have been active during the whole period and Israel have ethnically cleansed hundreds of thousands of them. It also subjugates them to apartheid laws. Is enough not enough for the Israeli's and their supporters. How much oppression do they want and for how long?
Thanks for standing up for justice.
Well DUH, thank you Katie Porter for saying out loud.
Katie always goes for the root cause!!❤❤
Someone needs to get word to crew on Morning Joe. They're saying these protests are selective and antisemitic and woke.
Ayman keep it up. Katie demand answers, force accountability.
I so appreciate her not giving her opinion of whether the aid should flow, but stating it is not legal for the aid to flow based on this law. Interviewers try to get people to give their opinions, but she sticks to the rule of law! Much more effective!
If you want the truth then you need to listen to Katie Porter
Stalling by sitting on memos doesn't undo the violations of the Leahy Act (or other relevant laws), it just ups the number of violations committed before the root causes can be corrected.
Katie, I love you for standing up for what is right and exposing this administration for gross violations of human rights.
Thanks for your humanity.
Katie Porter should get a cabinet possision in the next administration ❤
For calling out the leader of her own party? The same party that is deliberately doing all this?
@@yishnir well hey, if she were super effective and Trump gets reelected, he'd be a fool to not put her on his cabinet! Of course, she's a person of principle and I don't think she'd accept.
@djentlegiant739 Hmm. T... only plans to put bootlicks and sycophants into power, to literally help him dismantle rule of law... 'Competent' and 'effective' are the very opposite of what he wants from anyone.
"Special process" - Just sit on the memos.
Thank you Katy.
Katie, pls run for office again!!
Governor
Don't understand: to my knowledge, the US does not send funds directly to the military unit - if this is true, how can this "new rule" be followed?
It has been reported elsewhere that it was FIVE units. Not three.
Love future president Porter, THANKS!
Oh Katie, ❤this is the Katie, the real deal, straight talking Katie that I have missed! STAY THIS WAY!!!
And exactly how do they plan to go about sanctioning a military unit in the IDF ???
It sounds like just words
The world needs more Katie Porter!!!
There’s only one establishment member I would ever vote for. …this woman right here.
Tons of integrity
Sec Blinken is Netanyahu's boo. They have a bromance.
In 2023 before Oct,7 Israel murdered over 600 civillians. Was there any condemnation of those murders? Not a word. Double standard.
Katie Porter no longer has to tip toe around ethno state lobby AIPAC and she's letting them kno. Based Katie, based! 😂
FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸
vote Trump then.
With each day they're learning freedom seeds hurt. Pew pew
Right now, Palestine is a Free-For-All that we're paying for.
@@MSNBCultyep, cuz Orange Jesus knows what’s up...sure whatever you say unless you are referring to Kushner slobbering over possible real estate development like he has for Albania. So gross. Vote BLUE!
wHY?
Katie Porter is a bright light not bribed by the AIPAC.
Only 2 people i trust in government - Bernie Sanders and Katie Porter. Thank you!!
Glad Katie's changed her tune from her initial knee- jerk reaction. She's realised the truth obviously
Hi MSNBC, could you make Ayman's show into a podcast? Ideally with back episodes, so I can listen at work.
Bravo Katie
Why are they speaking about units ? The whole county should be sanctioned
Oh wow Katie Porter is finally saying something about these war crimes?
A two year old could have figured out this was happening, no one is really shocked by this news.
Why did progressive media missed this?
Because American Jews are in the progress camp and are normally compassionate about social injustices. Netanyahu has steer the country into a forever conflict. It is actually pretty sad that many Israelites are dragged along on this horrific path. It’ll take some incredible good will after the removal of Netanyahu for Israel to regain its footing and standing amongst world’s citizenry. I’ll be rooting for it.
Blinken is a duel citizen.
Go Katie Porter! Go, go, go!
How can these gross human rights violations have happened pre-October 7th? I thought all of the horror visited upon Palestinians only happened post that date🤔🤔🙄🙄
Imagine that. .
Don’t ask anymore, just STOP the genocide, Katie. Please.
Porter previously supported Israel unconditionally and praised Natanyahu last year.
Really, Katie? The limits? How about police limits regarding the beating, kicking, pepper spraying, and arresting of PEACEFUL PROTESTERS? No one is having "problems" getting to class.
Unfortunately pres biden is going to wear this for sitting on it so long.
Kinda lost me at the end there but still gewd
It proves that Tony blinking is tainted and must resign
Katie,you would be a great president of the United States... wish you were running....
Israel telling US State Dept. employees to, "Stop pestering us!" does not qualify as an "assurance."
This should be put all the system for cleaning
