There was a cease-fire War dead disrespected by wannabe dictator

I have been watching these pro-palestinians that show up to city council and marching across the country screaming for a cease fire.

Maybe they need to be reminded there was a cease-fire in place before Hamas slaughtered 1,400 innocent people, including babies.

They all have liberties here in America for which they would be jailed, or worse, in other countries. They should try and focus on those who are calling for the annihilation of their neighbors who just want to live in peace side by side.

Americans overwhelmingly honor our veterans who gave so much to defend our freedom and values.

On Veterans Day, I sought to honor them by watching Frank Capra’s World War II “Why We Fight” film series, which so excellently explained why the sacrifices we made to win that war were so necessary.

The films included speeches by Hitler and Mussolini that described certain people as vermin that should be eradicated. The next day I learned that – on Veteran’s Day – Donald Trump had used the same words regarding good people who stand against his vision of tearing down our democracy.

American Military cemeteries around the world are filled with fallen heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in World War II to defeat the fascism of Hitler and Mussolini.

Trump has insulted them before by calling them “suckers” and “losers.”

They didn’t fight for this country to be turned over to a wannabe dictator.

They didn’t swear an oath to defend the Constitution so this traitor could trample on it. It would be the ultimate insult to them if he were reelected. We can’t let that happen.
