Not to take away from the cowardly way Beatty is retreating from doing the absolute MINIMUM to oppose an ongoing genocide, but there being only 12 to begin with is in itself despicable!

That means 200 democrat congresspeople, also known by the increasingly misleading term “representatives” wouldn’t even commit to a token fucking effort against the ethnic cleansing of a people that’s over 50% children because most of the adults have already been murdered by the same genocidal fascist regime.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The day before a temporary truce in Gaza expired, 12 House Democrats called for a ceasefire in a letter to President Joe Biden.

Within a few days, as Israel intensified its assault on Gaza, killing hundreds more Palestinians, the number of signatories dropped to 11.

Troy Carter, D-La., thanks Biden for efforts to bring about the humanitarian pause and return of hostages, celebrating his administration for “the highest level of diplomacy and leadership in the pursuit of peace.”

In a December 1 press release, Carter wrote that he led 11 members of Congress in sending the letter to Biden, according to an archived version of his website.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., said during the weeklong truce that Israel should not resume bombing Gaza and called for the temporary ceasefire to be extended, but she has also left the door open to offensive Israeli operations other than bombing, leading advocacy groups to push her to clarify her position on a permanent ceasefire.

Since the end of the seven-day humanitarian pause, Israel has killed more than 1,000 Palestinians, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, bringing the death toll since October 7 to 16,428.
