Anybody who thought the idea of a Department of Peace was a wacky idea might want to rethink that.

Netanyahu says he’ll continue the military strikes as long as it takes to quell violence coming out of Gaza, but the longer he continues military strikes the more anger he creates in Palestinians throughout the region. Brute force doesn’t quell violence; only justice does that.

I don’t think Israel is “inherently” racist and oppressive; I think that some of its policies are racist and oppressive. I have more than a minimum understanding of the threats it faces. But I also think that those policies serve to make the threats much worse.

I don’t expect to change your mind or anything because clearly you’re not into me and that’s totally fine, but I do want to say I support BDS for businesses located in the settlements.

4/ The US must do more than point out that the settlements are illegal; it must say WE CONDEMN the settlements. Same for apartheid conditions within Israel plus the occupation. The US needs to stop enabling Israel's wrong behavior. That is our greatest hope, perhaps our only hope

2/ First, it's in direct contradiction to Biden's same-old same-old "we support Israel's right to self-defense" comment. Second, it's Congress assuming a Constitutionally granted power in foreign policy matters, a role it has mainly ceded to the president for decades.

1/ Tonight 8 House members and dozens of Senators called for an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. This is significant.
