Thank you Fern.

What is happening in Gaza is simply horrifying and not a single politician in the USA has said one word that would damp the violence against the beleaguered Palestinians in Gaza.

Mike, there doesn't seem to be any room for that. I abhor what Hamas has done, just as I abhor the conditions that Israel has imposed upon the Gaza strip and the conduct that created Hamas in the first place. I have been called out for not being 100% in support of Israel and everything they do. I cannot get behind the response which is to obliterate the Gaza strip and kill every Palestinian within it.

Well, the main reason "there is not any room for pushing back on Israel is because: We do not have a Democracy. We have something akin to a Brothel.

Politicians take money from donors, sometimes big ones, or big blocks, and then do what those donors want.

Biden has big donors that do not want restraints on Israel.
