The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Let's hope Gallego wins, and Progressives get one more Senate Seat.

We've seen lately in foreign policy in the Middle East.... Progressives deserve, and should have a louder voice in the US Senate.

Again, I know a lot of this is just performative - but do you genuinely have an opinion about Gallego's position on Israel and Gaza?

From what I've been able to Google quickly, he seems to be leaning far more towards the Fetterman side of the caucus than the Tlaib side - whether from personal conviction or perhaps because Phoenix has a fairly sizable Jewish population:

Look, I think that number one calling for a ceasefire when Israel, we know, will not take it, is probably not the best idea. We need to be calling for Israel to do its best to reduce civilian casualties, to open up humanitarian pathways for... for people to move and for people to actually bring in, you know, food aid and things of that nature.

And the other... at the other end of it we have to remind the people that we're not dealing with a civilian government. We are dealing with a terrorist organization that is using civilians, using hostages as human shields. And unfortunately, in this scenario, the best we can do is to make sure that we give support to Israel, we give them the intelligence that they need so they target terrorists, and that we encourage them to reduce civilian harm.
