I agree. If I could eliminate money in politics and the power for groups like AIPAC, I'd do it in a heartbeat. But I can't do that by myself. I also can't effect change in a deeply defective system as long as I keep participating in and supporting that system.

Today's indiscriminate slaughter of desperate people waiting for food aid was the most horrific thing I have seen the 70's when Pol Pot was committing atrocities against his own people.

I can't support a President who goes against International Law by uplifting Netanyahu. If Biden publicly stood up to Netanyahu (who by all accounts should be in prison), if he called a halt to increasing aid to Israel, if he publicly demanded a cease-fire, then I'd be OK. I mean, who is in charge of US Foreign Policy, Biden or Netanyahu?

This genocide has to stop. I only have a tiny little voice out here screaming in the wilderness, but at least when I get to meet my maker I'll be able to say that I screamed as hard as I could.
