$14 billion dollars from our tax money is paying for this. Plus all the ongoing "defensive" financial support over the years.
We all human here. More than ever, we see the images uncensored by our mainsteam media...
We too understand how the hostage families feel, not knowing if their loved ones are dead except for those who have received "proof of life" videos. Some of us think it sickening too the way these children are being propagandized as Missing milk carton kids, their fading faces on weathered flyers posted "in your face" by Jewish-American activists who believe Americans do not care about other people's innocents.
I wish the NYT would not play into this propaganda. Many many American tables today will have multi-generations discussing the wars. Christians, Muslims, atheists too, I suspect. Blacks Whites Hispanics Jewish and all the overlaps too (ie/white Hispanics, black Jews, etc)
We too eat and argue, question and digest, agree to disagree, and pray for peace. This war has affected lives way beyond Jewish ones; shame on those who would pretend otherwise...
It's yet another war, and America owns this one too. Wake up already.
With Israel at War, Thanksgiving Is Fraught for Some Jewish Families
Even families that are used to arguing over dinner are feeling new tension this year, as members from different generations disagree about supporting Israel.
There is a big difference between supporting Israel's right to defend herself on the American dime and what they are doing right now that will only ensure Israel is a Most Hated Nation for years to come for killing so many innocent people to secure her land holdings.
Americans support a War on Hamas. What we're paying for is a War on Gaza. Israel is the Goliath in that battle, with the poor non-Hamas Palestinians being pounded because it is safer for Israel's Army than targeting Hamaas. The military strategy ensures Israel will lose... so long as one Palestinian is left standing in the regions the right-wing Netanyahu government wants to annex.
More criticism, more discussion, more ... honesty in acknowledging the facts in evidence. The Jewish people have given many gifts to the American people. We owe it to our brothers and sisters not only to pray for peace in their homeland, but to help them become an independent nation that can settle their differences -- and defend their borders -- not just with the Iron Dome system American taxpayers have paid for, but in good relations with the Palestinian people who like the Israelis want clean water, secure shelters and futures for their children.
If you do not understand that shared sentiment, it will be hard for Israel to survive in the region in coming generations, I think. We need CHANGE and we needed it decades ago. Now, the young people of America will force it, I suspect. Take that torch, if the politicians in Washington are unwilling to pass it...
Justice will be done, Life goes on, and the strongest survive. These ongoing wars, and the worship of weapons, will be the death of America otherwise. The young people know that; the aged ones scurrying about creating busywork for themselves never learned. #ChooseLife #RealLife>artificialintelligence
