The horror in Gaza is not going to bring justice to those responsible for the horror in Israel on Oct. 7th. The blood of a child in Gaza does not avenge the blood of a child in Israel. Justice must be pursued for both and both equally. 1/5

Netanyahu’s blind arrogance is in many ways responsible for the terrorist attack on Israel, and such quality of character is the last thing that should be driving her response to it now. 2/5

Every mistake the United States made in Iraq and Afghanistan - the product of militaristic, unscrupulous men who think their bombs are all powerful - is repeating itself in Israel today. It did not work for us, and it will not work for them. 3/5

For every Hamas terrorist they kill they will create ten more. The might of God is what will save Israel now, and the might of God lies not in the sword but in mercy and justice. 4/5

We who have been hated throughout our history and are hated so unfairly now must refuse to return their hate with hate. The power of the United States and the power of Israel should not be a partnership of war. It should be, and it should have been for decades, a partnership in justice. A new crop of Israeli and Palestinian leadership is needed to transmute the darkness of this moment. May God lift them up. The United States should stand for new light, not ancient darkness. Ceasefire now. 5/5

I suggect the new generation study Mahatma Gandhi, whose nonviolent resistance was active, not passive, intended to force change, not pacify. I believe it was successful in doing so though not enough to shortcircuit the lasting effects of the violent movements of that period.

I used to oppose the Gaza massacre until I saw a tweet saying all these pro-Palestine protests are making some western Jewish people's feelings feel upset, so now I think Israel should get to do a little genocide, as a treat.

Will you help allow Palestinians to hold honest elections? Israel assassinates or imprisons any honest secular candidates leaving the Palestinians with puppet government officials like Abbas or religious ones like Hamas. Both don’t represent all Palestinians.

Thank you for calling for a ceasefire. You are on the right side of history. I pray our leaders listen.

This is the event that triggered the Oct. 7th massacres, officially names Operation Al Aqsa Flood. These people are desecrating a mosque. Their idea of God, is entirely alien to you. It's not where they will find mercy. If not their god, where are they to find it?
