Creates more terror
Those who are seeing the attacks by Israel on Palestinians with open eyes and open hearts must be losing sleep knowing that our administration is funding war crimes with our tax money. You are not alone. Over 60 percent of Americans as well as many Jews see the hypocrisy in the acts of Netanyahu’s hard-line right-wing government in its massively disproportionate attacks on the Palestinians. What little space they inhabit after 75 years of forced occupation by the Israelis is hell on Earth now.
It is clear that there is no honor in repeating genocide. There is a history to the oppression of the Palestinians by the Israelis that is not taken into account. I do not wish to be blind and deaf to that history. How can Americans support the obliteration of another culture, families, homes, babies and pregnant mothers through violence and strategic shutoff of water, electricity and food, bombing convoys of ambulances, hospitals and shelters at refugee camps? These are all against the Geneva Convention’s rules of war.
I know most people think about Oct. 7 as an excuse to retaliate with the force of much larger magnitude with aid from the U.S., but I believe it really means the U.S. is complicit to those war crimes unless the administration calls for a cease-fire and peace negotiations.
I think the profits that go to the makers of the tools of war is what is pushing this evil agenda. All it is doing is making more terrorists.
Educate yourselves on the buildup of crimes perpetrated by the occupancy over the decades of the Israeli settler movement. The terrorism by Hamas is a direct result of that injustice. More injustice will just create more terrorists.
