(55,980 posts)The reason Likud and its allies were so outraged about the peace treaty with Iran is that it interfered with their plans to bomb Iran. The peace treaty is the ONLY thing holding that war back. There is NOTHING disingenuous about it.
It has been interesting to learn that opposition to Clinton's vote in Iraq actually had nothing to do with the war and everything to do with Clinton, so much so that we now have "progressives" making excuses for war mongering.
But pot. Yeah. Sorry. It's just not something I think about. I keep forgetting how important the bourgeois cause of our age is, that it trumps a minor issue like war. We'll just add war on Iran to women's reproductive rights, unfettered profits for gun corporations, genocidal gun violence, the Minutemen and the Wall, a trillion and growing for the F-35, environmental racism, vast inequality in k-12 education, and all the other issues that just aren't really important. Resentment over an already decided primary and political patronage relationships stemming from that is what should determine the party into the future. Who cares about consistency and integrity anyway?
