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.

What nation is going to do *nothing* when thousands of rockets are launched at it’s people from a short distance away? I’ll wait... Whatever changes need to happen in Israel’s policies, there is no way they twiddle their thumbs while they are yet again subject to mass murder.

You’re a truly sick person. Shame on you

Maybe Trump’s handling of the Middle East and breaking with past and current norms was a good thing?

Dear God: cars festooned with Palestinian flags are going through heavily Jewish neighborhoods of London with loudspeakers blaring, "F*ck the Jews. Rape their daughters." Tell me more about how anti-Zionism isn't antisemitic.

Bush/Cheney and Obama/Biden rolled out the red carpet of authoritarianism for Trump/Pence, just as our war of terror has for authoritarians world wide. Please follow Dr. King's BTS prescription: cease-fire, gather, share. ❤️💪🏽❤️

Cannot disagree. Horrifying to learn Israelis are 'Marking' Palestinian houses during the day, so those houses can be ATTACKED at night. Does anyone remember Kristallnacht or the Night of Broken Glass, a pogrom against Jews carried out by SA paramilitary forces in nazi Germany?

You benefit living in a country that has Canada and Mexico as neighbors. The U.S. spends over $ 900 billion in national security. You don’t have to worry about Hamas shooting rockets at your house. How much time have you spent in Israel and Gaza?

This is not a complex issue. There's rarely been a more obvious case of the oppressor vs. the oppressed than Israel/Palestine. We in the West only believe its too complex because we've been bombarded with pro-Israeli propaganda from the day we were born. youtube.com/watch?v=RxC5HhKQ…
