1/ Democrats and Republicans walking in lockstep in support of Israel no matter how racist and oppressive their policies leaned over the last 30 years has not helped anyone involved. It has not helped the Palestinians, it has not helped us, and it has not helped Israel.

2/.@POTUS treating the current situation with the same "Israel has the right to defend itself" mantra that he and others have been using for decades, willfully turning a blind eye to the Judaizing of East Jerusalem that set off this round of disaster, is unacceptable.

3/ This is one of many areas where politics as usual is morally lifeless. We need to replace it with a politics of love and deep humanity, looking far more honestly at the challenges of creating a just and sustainable future and with a willingness to change and grow.

4/ The rights of the Palestinians cannot and must not be viewed as less important than the issue of security for Israel, and ultimately they are one and the same. Nowhere and never has it been truer that until there is justice there will be no peace.

Shame on you, Marianne for speaking on this issue with such incredible ignorance! You’re pathetic and irrelevant in this conversation.

If I was irrelevant you would not be on this thread. I’m a Jew and I have great love for Israel. But the problem we have today is that our critics are correct about a lot of things. Until we correct those things, we will not be able to legitimately counter where they are wrong.

As usual, follow the money. The Us makes huge profits from Israel buying military weapons. Joe Biden makes huge contributions from Lockheed Martin. As long as they continue to say the weapons are for Israel’s “defense“, it doesn’t violate international law.

I honestly don't understand how you can put a cap (30 yrs) on Israel's racist and oppressive policies. If you study history, Israel was founded on racist and oppressive policies. The only way out of this horror is a #onestate solution.

Nice to know that you are supporting the attempted murder of thousands of civilian Israelis.
