Sure he should resign but he should also be charged with 175 counts of murder
Gillibrand: "How they missed this was a girls' school is very concerning to me. If Sec.

Trump's backup plan revealed
Trump has gutted health care and food assistance while funneling billions into a war machine that he’s empowered to kill civilians abroad with no accountability.
The cruelty never ends.

PAPER PLANET: “While Trump gutted food stamps for the poor and disabled, Hegseth ran up the largest single-month bill in history… $93.4 Billion in September… $6.9 million on lobster tails… they told you there’s no money for health care, there’s plenty.”

So it's clear now:
1. Criminal Netanyahu from the mass murder state killed the criminal Khamenei and most of his family, in an 'urgent', unprovoked attack.

But this one was definitely the US.
So Israel is definitely claiming it.

The idiot Albanese govt has mired Australia with the Greater Israel push, and fundamentalist zealots.
