Absolutely right! It is time for America to back away from support of Israel as our values are no longer shared.

Discussing it among ourselves is well and good, but we all need to write to President Biden, our senators and our representatives recommending that the US “back away from support of Israel as our values are no longer shared.” Then we need to get out the vote for the 2024 presidential election to defeat the right wing at home.

Ruth, it looks like more likely you should be armed and be prepared to fight on the street or the other side will maintain their power. Sad to say that is where we are today. Good luck to you and God help us.

The problem is that America is sliding perilously close to becoming an authoritarian, christofascist country unless we get out the blue vote in November 2024.

Actually, aren't the values of the Donny from Queens and MAGA-wingers of the GNoP, of Benny from Philly and his 'We are Right No Matter What You Say' group, and of Putin and his backers quite shared.?

However, in the US, approximately 65% do share the most of the same values.

Israel is not just Netanyahu and his coalition. We can easily see that by the protests. We must find a way to bathe the baby and only throw away the bathwater. We must find a way to help Israel accept the ideas of Palestinians and Palestinians accept the ideas of Israel. Both exhibit the fears of cornered animals. We should encourage a Constitutional Convention. I believe that the people of this region new and ancient must participate but I also believe that this is their future to choose. Perhaps we could offer a safe venue. A moderator who's only role is to strip the hurt and see the kernel of thought and echo it back.
