Regime Change Needed in Israel [View all]

I have always supported the right of Israel to exist . I wish peace and safety for all nations.. The horror of the Holocaust is embedded in our memories.

We are at a different moment.

As we stand today, we must face the reality that Israel is a menacing nation, putting USA at direct risk . Over and over again, the hardliners have refused a two-state solution or to allow humanitarian aid to Palestinians.

Israel continues to manipulate the USA to advance their genocidal attacks, in addition to land grabs throughout the region.

Between 1946 and 2023, Israel received around $264 billion in total foreign aid from the US. Since the Gaza war, the US has provided significant additional aid, including a $14.3 billion emergency military assistance package in April 2024 and an $8.7 billion aid package in September 2024.

This is how Israel shows their thanks to the USA, by attacking Iran and drawing our military into harms way. Why all this money when they have shown disdain to the taxpayers of the USA?

There are no nuclear weapons in Iran. I acknowledge that Iran has armed rogue states. At the same time, we can see that there is no solution if Israel continues to be an aggressor. Israel missed the opportunity to be the sane and responsible nation in the MidEast. We can’t trust Israel now. We will be damned by continuing support to them. There’s no difference between Putin and Netanyahu.

We must stop all economic trade and military aid to Israel. Right Now.
The people of Israel need to rebuild as a peaceful nation . Get rid of your corrupt autocracy. Replaced Netanyahu, send him to The Hague.
Stop the madness.

Interesting -- the biggest threat to Netanyahu's government are the ultra orthodox Haredi Ponietz Jun 19 #27
Isn't this the faction that's very militant and pro war but don't have to serve? ms liberty Jun 19 #29
Perhaps the opposite--I've read that some Haredi oppose a political State of Israel because the Messiah hasn't come yet Ponietz Jun 19 #31
