Netanyahu incited Rabin's murder and has done NOTHING but bring war and destruction. He is supposed to protect its security, economy, and reputation, and he's destroyed all three.
Good for Van Hollen. Israelis and Palestinians both deserve peace and safety. They won't get it from Bibi.

A Winter’s Tale (Helprin, not Shakespeare). I‘d like someone to make a movie of it that isn’t widely recognized as garbage.

I would have preferred they actually get off their duffs and vote in 2024 and not destroy the country. Hoping they remember.

Oh. Yes. i am obligated to fight back, absolutely. But I didn’t put him there.
Israelis have fought their government with extraordinary tenacity and people don’t give them credit for it.

It's totally antisemitic to say that Zionism means you care more about Israel than about America. Sure, some people feel that way, but making it part of the definition is nonsense. Statistically and analytically.

I am not responsible for Trump.
The people who voted for him or sat out the election are responsible for Trump.
People need to understand what voting is FOR, and do it. (Israelis have a messed up parliamentary system that makes the electoral college look useful, more of them voted center/left)

That's an absurd definition.
And to think that American Jews value it more than America is antisemitic. Obviously we don't: that's why we overwhelmingly don't vote for Republicans.
Again, Rabin hated AIPAC. They're pro-Likud, not pro-Israel.
To support the Israeli right is to be anti-Israel.

The orthodox don’t send money on Shabbat.
But sure, a higher percentage of orthodox support AIPAC.
Most Jewish Zionists do not support their aims there are a million surveys showing this.

My dad had one! They had to bribe him with a CD-Rom of the procedure because he kept craning his neck.
He has also had a stent (at 80) and a valve replacement (at 95) transarterially.
And he's 100!

Because the overwhelming majority of us don't support AIPAC.
A small sliver of extremists support AIPAC.
Yitzhak Rabin hated AIPAC.
AIPAC is pro-extremism. It isn't pro-Israel, because no one who cares about Israel supports any of this.
Hope this helps.
