Stop pretending U.S. policy is guided by principle when Congress condemns official enemies while arming and shielding abusive allies. In March 2026, the administration bypassed Congress to approve a $650 million bomb sale to Israel. In May 2025, the U.S. agreed to a nearly $142 billion arms package with Saudi Arabia. In March 2026, the State Department also approved more than $8.4 billion in arms sales to the UAE. These are not morally neutral partners. Human Rights Watch says Saudi authorities repress dissent and use unfair trials and executions. Human Rights Watch says the UAE severely restricts free expression and upheld abusive sentences in a mass trial of dissidents. Human Rights Watch and Amnesty have both concluded that Israeli authorities are committing apartheid against Palestinians, and Human Rights Watch says Israeli forces escalated atrocities in 2025 including war crimes, crimes against humanity, acts of genocide, and ethnic cleansing in Gaza. That means the issue is not human rights. It is whether a government serves U.S. interests. Congress cannot condemn Iran while funding, arming, and diplomatically protecting states whose abuses it excuses. That is not principle. It is empire. Stop applying one standard to U.S. adversaries and another to U.S. clients. Reject further military action against Iran. Reject more sanctions and economic strangulation. End military and diplomatic support for Israel and any other state aiding, enabling, or advancing this war.
