REAL AMERICAN PATRIOT.
AMERICA FIRST
NOT UKRAINE
NOT ISRAEL
Israel is 100% legal and moral in fighting Hamas. Massie is morally wrong. His position strengthens terrorists who committed beastly acts of violence. Fine. Massie will see Sharia law force the women of Kentucky to wear head scarfs and veils. Get ready Kentucky.
Congressman Thomas Massie the last honest man in congress.
Free America from AIPAC
👍
meh
Free America from the Neo-Nazi, Islamist, Marxist alliance against Israel
Salute to Congressman Thomas Massie for depending truth and justice.
Thank you Thomas
I am surprise that Rand Paul and Tulsie Gabbard are not also speaking against this bill unless AIPAC owns them too.
Tulsie is 100% in favour of Israel’s war on Gaza, and thinks the civilian casualties isn’t out of ordinary for US allies, does AIPAC own her? 🤔
AIPAC own them. Rand definitely has a handler and Tulsi is pro-war when it comes to Israel which basically means she's just another Neocon pretending not to be.
If you’re on the right Massie is all that is left for decent people.
Rand Paul has accepted donations from Israel-related PACs according to OpenSecrets, don’t know about Tulsie Gabbard though
Mr. Thomas Massie definitely got my attention. This man sounds like he’s an independent thinker. I respect anyone AIPAC doesn’t own. We the US tax payers pay the salary of our elected officials yet they’re own by a group that lobbies for Israel’s interest (foreign country). Don’t even get me started on the Billions of our hard earned taxes Israel receives.
He’s one of the only that fought AIPAC and won 💪
Wow....The MIC is trying hard...There's bills each and every week for their wars, but ZERO on US border, zero on crime, zero on addressing inflation, etc., etc
America 1st....
The only human in the republican member of Congress.

We already have to many laws on crime, we have more people incarcerated than any other country, we have government over reach of authority exercising powers not granted to them, turning God endowed Rights into privileges and crimes. They were created to sure our basic rights to Life Liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but they are always interfering in these basic rights. They have the duty to protect one fellow man from another fellow man and any act that has not or that they can't prove will without a doubt will cause harm to another fellow man is not within their powers to limit or prohibit. Otherwise no one so would be imprisoned for an alleged victimless non-injury crime other than on a proven conspiracy or caught in the act in an attempt to commit murder or treason.
How to know is someone is under AIPAC’s payroll? 💰 💰 💰
A politician who doesn't speak out against the crimes of israel, he's under the payroll of the AIPAC.
I would guess Atleast half
Great Congressman Rep Thomas Massie speaking truth to power. United States of AIPAC must be free.🛩🛩🛩

AIPAC & FARA
Paul Baker
American Political and News Junkie since Eisenhower Feb 16fara
If you ask me, I’d say it certainly should be registered as a foreign agent under the ‘Foreign Agent Registration Act’ (FARA).
I’m certain the reason we’d hear is, it’s classified in the United States as a 501(c)(4) ‘Social Welfare Organization’ by the IRS. By regulation, such a group can “engage in some political activities, so long as that is not its primary activity”.
Well, that’s humorous. Politics seems to be what the ‘American Israel Public Affairs Committee’ (AIPAC) primarily engages in. There’s no secret that, while the people doing ‘the work’ are Americans, what AIPAC does politically is determined in Tel Aviv.
Why AIPAC has never been registered as a foreign agent has been asked by many people for decades. I can only assume it’s influence is so great, so pervasive that it squashes anyone who even suggests there’s a controversy about it.
Respect to this gentleman, I wish we more of him America will be seen as the best example to humanity
I'm certainly not leaning Republican. That said, Mr. Massie definitely earned my respect, if for nothing else, it's just for his integrity and consistency on this matter.
there's a difference between neo-conservative and paleo-conservative. the latter is the one you want, the former is basically Democrat. youtube "The Neocons vs Paleoconservatives - How They Are Different and Why It Matters"
Thomas massie, the last real all american politician
AIPAC needs to register as a foreign lobby org. They give money to about everyone in congress EXCEPT Massie. BTW we can like the Jewish people w/o liking or approving of the actions of Israel’s government.
Free America from AIPAC
Money to everyone but Massie, just because you heard him say it on Tucker Carlson show? Do you also believe him when he said the shutting down of the country during covid by Trump is something we may never recover from?
@@bittersweet2253aipac paid someone to run against him ad he won so no he is not taking money from them
@bittersweet2253 Aipac has pictures and names of everyone in congress that they pay off on their website. Massie isn't one of them. Go look it up.
I AGREE with Mr MASSE !!
Thomas Massie = LEGEND
This video contain a dude who said the “casualties in Gaza have been pretty good”.
In his recent interview with Tucker Carlson he says he is the “only Republican Congressman that’s doesn’t have an AIPAC representative
Every republican and democratic have Aipac babysitter. Thomas Massie.
To be fair … he said he didn’t know about the democrats.
Good man
Holyyy. Something I can agree with a republican on. Nice 🤝
You are kidding! America has never achieved such low stats!
I am just an ordinary bloke. Not anti-Semitic, I have a Jewish girlfriend. I could see that there were TOO MANY CIVILIAN CASUALTIES by mid October. It's appalling.
No
how many hamas fighters have died fighting in Gaza wearing a military uniform? i will be waiting on your answer so we know whos civilians and whos not
@@BILLYRFCNO1 Exactly. They wear civilian clothing. They do that on purpose. They purposely use civilians as human shields, and also, civilians help them. Civilians are combatants. They are not innocent.
@morganjones7138come to visit there, it seems like you totally don't know what are you talking about
Yes, when you use fake and exaggerated sources it could appear that way....
May God Bless and protect Thomas Massie
Thomas Massie is a brave man given his views on Israel. We respect that the ICC is a foreign institution and so is the UN, WHO, IMF, etc that the US supports. While TM does not support ICC going after US citizens, can he accept a complaint on a US citizen from the ICC as after all there is an Interpol which US is a participant ? Is the US citizen above international laws ?
Thomas Massey is an American hero. The only true patriot in our government. The only politician that hasn’t committed treason against the country and American people. The only man with values and human compassion ❤
Massie Massie Massie!
Thomas , the last great man, who lost his wife, keeps fighting the enemy
Is NATO political leverage for America to enter into expensive international subterfuge without liability?
How many casualties are there really.
Over 30,000 including 11,000 kids
@@alanwatterson2850 NOT TRUE!
Reports 35,000 from hamas... And you can't trust them... Last month reports 24, 000 and this is including Hamas fighters.
@@mugs8306 You can stay deluded if you like, but there are crazy brave aid workers and journalists in there, who aren't spreading propaganda, they're reporting.

@@gcbarregross
wow, back in 2023 on October the 7th, too many civilians were killed also. 🤔🤔
Over 30 times less. Criminals on both sides.
Yet, nobody talks about them. Only about the combatant "civilians" in Gaza. It's disgusting.
Does what you say justify the genocide in Gaza?
40000 civilians plus , that is way too many wth u talking about
Nobody said anything about bombing civilians in World War 2. Why? How is any of this any different?
The Geneva conventions date from 1949 in an attempt to prevent war crimes. Israel does not abide by them.

That is your expectation.

How do you determine who's a civilian in GAZA?
Kinda how you would in any other country, unarmed people who are not fighting.
@hopsie9983 say that to anyone who was stationed in Vietnam, or Afghanistan
Most are enemy combatants. They are supporting Hamas's efforts. The hostages are being held by "civilians". They are combatants. They are NOT innocent victims.
@@hopsie9983What about kids and women, elderly people.
Sounds like an Israeli Jewish problem and not a US America problem to me! 😂
Way too many casualties
Kentucky 🐎
The “Hague Invasion Act,” law authorizes the president to “use all means necessary and appropriate to bring about the release” of a US or allied person (Netanyahu?)detained or imprisoned by the ICC.”......"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others" (Animal Farm ) seems to be US Policy!
Based on what metrics there are too many casualties?
I guess the total population.. no exact figure but you got all of similar urban warfare that were fought and still going on in many countries ..I mean for reference
I so sorry congressman Massie and your loss my heart cries ❤
hamas needs to stop using civs as bodysheilds
@morganjones7138 This is war, not a police action.
@@legal-forceeven war has rules. Surely someone with the name "legal-force" would know that.
@morganjones7138 The first rule of war is survival. To survive you must you use force, legal is a secondary consideration. In times of war it's force-legal instead of legal-force.
Hamas leader Mr. Sinwar just said those civilian deaths are a "necessary sacrifice". Genocide accusations are fake news.
@@danielhamilton351 Even war has rules. Like not holding your own children hostage so you use them as human shields.

Instead of arming Ukraine and Israel, US tax payer money should be spent on infrastructure, healthcare and education

@@alanwatterson2850 That is a LIE. Hamas LIES to you.
It was always the pervy Israelis who used Palestinians as human shields:
_"A case reached the Israeli Supreme Court that challenged the IDF policy known as the "neighbor procedure". This is the term for Israeli soldiers' using Palestinian civilians as human shields in order to protect soldiers during their operations from suspected booby traps or attacks by Palestinian militants. The Israeli Supreme Court in 2005 prohibited the "neighbor policy", saying that Israeli troops could not use Palestinians as shields._
_In May 2011, 24 former IDF soldiers provided testimony describing continued military use of the "neighbor procedure."_

That's BS!
@@mugs8306 Your "comment" is ... :)
The question is not civilian casualties; the question is how does one define "civilian" when Hamas fighters dress as civilians and hide among civilian populations?
Pretty sure over 30,000 Palestinians including 11,000 kids were not all Hamas.
@@alanwatterson2850 how many were?
And when you can't even get a legitimate number doesn't help either. They're literally taking the word of T........ists.
Why aren't more people angry at the surrounding countries of Gaza are refusing to allow refugee's into there country?????.......the dead civilians are on the surrounding countries not accepting refugee's....... very simple
NO country will help Israel with its ethnic cleansing. Any Palestinians who have left have never been allowed back by Israel. And Israel made it clear that it wanted to push all the Gazans out the Rafah gate.
NO country volunteered to take them.
U do know gaza are only surrounded by israel in all sides except small part in the south where it has border with egypt, right? That border is partly controlled by israel as well.
Evacuation are not as easy as news make it sound.
Here in my country we have our humanitarian worker telling his story of multple attempts to evacuate before finlly making it.
That was early in the war when idf were not that deep into gaza territory yet. I imagine it'll be far worse now.
They actually put tanks and snipers in many spots in the road used to evacuate. They shot anyone of all ages passing those spots.
So they are basically trapped. U dont get to shift the blame from the perpetrator just like that. Very convinient
I do blame most arab countries tho. Not bc I think theu responsible for the death. But because they barely take any action to put pressure on israel through sanction or other political means.
Only yemen has my full respect
@@DePeaceHunter wrong
@@DePeaceHunter yes I do........the Israelis told them to leave....they didn't leave..... very simple
From 1948 to 1967 Egypt claimed Gaza as its own territory and ruled it. In 1967 it attempted to invade Isradl from Gaza, and lost.
Egypt should take Gaza back and order its security services to get rid of Hamas.
Shame on them for not doing so.
Gaza was an Egyptian city going right back to the era of the Pharaohs.
And Israel did not exist until the disastrous decision of 1948.
@@alanwatterson2850 Wrong. Israel was established over 3,000 years ago.
@@mugs8306 No it wasn't. There was Judah, which appeared now and again and was in and out of the Assyrian and Babylonian empires. It was in an area known mostly as Palestine. There was no place called Israel 3000 years ago.
@@alanwatterson2850 That is absolutely FALSE!!!! The word "palestine" didn't even exist in Biblical times. It was given by the Romans, because they wanted to re-identify that area. They didn't like the name Israel, because they didn't like the history. And yes, the entire country, which was divided between the 12 tribes (named after the 12 sons of Jacob) was called Israel. The entire nation was called the "Israel". It was only after the northern tribes separated from the southern tribes that the southern area became known as Judea. The northern area was still called Israel (House of Israel) until the Assyrians invaded and exiled the northern tribes. It's all documented on earlier maps. You clearly don't know the history, and you clearly don't know the Bible.
@@mugs8306 Yeah, you're right about the name, my mistake. But the 1948 declaration makes as much sense as declaring the UK Roman.
You have casualties in war . All wars have had casualties. We have no right to say anything bad about it,we have done worse
It's laughable, after all the people the USA killed in Iraq.
So acc to Massey Israel should continue to send its soldiers "door to door" because otherwise the Gazan civilians will hate them. lol. It seems Massey thinks that up to and incl Oct 7 they or their reps had loved Jews and only burst through the gates to join the festival and sing koombaya in harmony.
I love how u people always bring up how Pal-less-tiny-an hate Isrli and use that as justification to committ all type of insane things toward them.
Like, are you expecting these people to not hate their oppresors and keep loving them instead after all what they did and still doing to their people?
Seriously only narcisstic self entitled brats will expect that.
Every sane human being would expect to be hated doing what they've been doing.
In fact I find these people to be remarkably patient. I'll show far more rage had I've been in their position.
@@DePeaceHunter You just demonstrated my point even more.

@philcollins1255 The Palestinian people have been murdered and their homes stolen by Israel since 2014. Do some research.
What do you expect ?
Kentuckians know Massie wouldn’t have their backs either
If ICC does not apply to the US, then why is the US using it against other countries? If some laws are only apply to others and not the US, then wouldn't that make the US an apartheid state on the world community stage?

He isn't antisemitic... he is just one of the few politicians not owned by AIPAC... so when you see someone not giving special treatment you think it's discrimination! I have no problem with Isreal defending itself... but be honest, we went to war with Serbia over civilian casualties...(I think we treated Serbia badly considering their situation and disagree with our actions in Yugoslavia) but be real, if this was another country besides Isreal they would be getting sanctions! Also Massia appears to be speaking against the international Criminal Court having any jurisdiction over Isreal....
