Really think there needs to be a stronger stigma in DC against the illegal use of force.
Those proposing or supporting violations of Article 2(4) of the UN Charter should be treated as pariahs in the foreign policy community.
The U.S. helped establish that rule for some very good reasons.

630,000 Israelis live across the world, most choosing English-speaking and European countries as their new home.
You'll probably find the report below of interest.
I'm not sure why you would want to do that, it occurs to me that these Israeli citizens might be the most in need of getting away from Israel.

In Nuseirat refugee camp, southern Gaza, an entire family was wiped out in a single Israeli airstrike. The Abu Shawish family mourned the loss of grandparents, parents, and children killed yesterday in a strike that flagrantly violated the ceasefire.
