1. One can appreciate that he will use his bully pulpit. I hope we can have a dialog that is open.

Not everything or everyone is either antisemitic or islamaphobic. There is certainly plenty of both. Heck, some people are both! But, while Israel has the right to exist and be safe and secure and prosperous, the same holds true for the Palestinians. Is Hamas evil incarnate? Yes. Does Israel have the right, indeed the national responsibility, to fight such evil and protect itself? Yes. But just as Hamas deserves to be attacked and vilified, Israel must accept responsibility for bombing a whole community into the dark ages, killing thousands of innocents in the process, to try and root out Hamas. Not all Palestinians are Hamas or Hezbollah. And certainly all the children are not. I am ready to cut all US funding to any party to this until they come to a negotiating table in good faith.
