I'm glad you finally learned war is a horrible, horrible thing, Virginia. I wonder when you will learn that it is also a horrible, horrible thing to not know if there are bombs in a parked car near your elementary school or temple, or if that neighbor of yours for thirty years secretly wants you dead. Terrorist acts have consequences. And you, sitting in a Bethesda parking lot in your Saudi-powered SUV while the kids are at Mathnesium, have the luxury of no consequences.


So we shouldn't care when our closest "ally" is murdering women and children with our tax dollars?


You don't need to pay taxes, you can choose not to work. Or you can go back to the country that you care about so much. The U.S. doesn't need to change what it is doing at your command.

By the way, Israel is not our closest ally. They actually are not officially an ally. Ally has a defined meaning.


Oh gosh I hate to tell you that’s actually the whole point of elections.

If it takes Joe Biden losing an election to make him understand that young Americans do not want children killed in our name, so be it.


No one but Palestinians and Muslims are voting based on this issue. They do not care if a Republican win harms ordinary Americans day to day, all that matters is that BIden knows he didn't do what they wanted for their interest "back home". If your plan is to bring over all of your relatives from your home countries and have a lot of babies to form a group big enough to swing elections, go for it I guess, nothing we can do about it, America's open borders have consequences.


I am neither Palestinian nor Muslim but yes I will absolutely vote against the U.S.
enabling the killing of children. I am hoping our lawmakers change course before I am forced to vote against Biden but I will absolutely do so. I cannot look at my (half Jewish) child and tell her that I am just fine with children her age being killed every day by bombs the U.S. supplies. And yes I understand that means I may have to explain to her that is why we always have up to date passports in case we need to seek healthcare in Canada.


Are you planning on driving her to Canada in your gasoline-powered car? Are the kids in Yemen who are also killed by bombs the US supplies in a different tranche for you?

Not voting for Biden "because Israel" is such an absurd idea I have to think you're not arguing as a real person. Is this your new Overton window, suggesting that left wingers don't vote democrat as "protest?"

It's absurd.



As it happens I sent quite a lot of mail to my elected officials about Yemen in the 2017-19 years. Thank you for asking. And I also didn’t support U.S. sales of weapons to Saudi, and didn’t vote for Trump.

Biden has a year before the election to listen to what the voters he needs to win are saying.

Thanks for asking though. You’ve identified my very strict foreign policy criteria of “bombing and starving children is bad”. I can’t believe that constitutes a bleeding heart position these days.


If you cared about babies you would ask Hamas to surrender. Will you be ok with Israel existing as an independent state? No, you won't. That is why you are so so concerned about U.S. funding, you think Israel would not exist w/o the funding. If only that money would go away your dream would come true!


Who would you like me to ask? What is their mailing address? Do I need an international stamp? Should I specify in my note that I believe they need to surrender to the ICC so there can be a public and international accounting for their crimes to counter the astonishing amount of mis and disinformation? You let me know. I’ll get on it.

In the meantime while you’re getting me that information I’ll work on influence the people facilitating the killing of children on the other side of the divide and doing so with my tax dollars. Israel will be just fine and continue to exist without U.S. money.


I think it's cute that you have this wide-eyed earnest belief that you writing letters will make the US divest from Israel. It speaks to your comfortable life, the luxury of your convictions. No doubt your kids walked out of school to protest for BLM, you probably send them to Quaker camp, you have a placard on your lawn that says you believe in science and support apartment buildings, although there are none in your immediate neighborhood. Perhaps you volunteer to help refugees, although your kids go to private school, not the local public, for reasons you will deflect upon if pressed.

And you're willing to make sacrifices. Look at all those letters! The poor trees!

I'm not mocking you to be cruel. I just wish you understood that your simplistic thinking is more damaging to others than it ever will be to you.


DP. I think you’re the one that’s naive. Everything starts with letters.

The anti Iraq War sentiment started with letters to President Bush if I remember correctly

If Israel cannot exist as a sovereign nation on its own two feet then that is a huge problem. It is not the responsibility of U.S taxpayers to fund Israel’s “existence”. They have been very successful for mooching off billions of dollars in the last 70 years but this madness needs to stop, they are a thriving country and surely they can exist on their own. People there are enjoying a great quality of life while poor schmucks funding them are filing medical bankruptcies.


Which is why the repugnant Netanyahu brags that Americans are “easily manipulated.” No more. We may be good-natured, but we draw the line at funding genocide.

But today, American taxpayers are still funding whatever Netanyahu wants. Exactly which of our politicians will stand up for us, and anger the massive Israeli lobby base in Washington? Heck, where’s that mile long list of current politicians who maintain dual citizenship with Israel?


Not just politicians but half of Biden’s cabinet probably has dual citizenship.

And there we have it. And pro-Hamas Democrats voted for it. How can they be that stupid? How will they vote next time?

I don’t think this is happening
Posters have asked very legitimate questions
Right now the Israeli ground offensive is targeting the refugee camps.
Do you feel no sympathy for the suffering or only if the person who is suffering happens to have been born with the correct ancestors?

No one supports Hamas!!!!

You can’t even admit Israel has gone WAY PAST any norms and is just bombing it all and killing everyone.

A Now we’re at organ theft. Mutilated corpses. Decayed infants. They are never coming back from this on the world stage


This is an outright lie. It is a disgusting and disgraceful lie. Enough. You can be anti-Israel. Fine, get it. But to pass on these barbaric lies about organ theft. Good Lord - you’re taking a page right out of Blood Libel, FFS.


Decayed infants story is true.

Organ theft has happened in the past. Read the newsweek article cited earlier.

Mutilated corpses and organ theft was accused yesterday in a letter and was reported and the allegations were reported by the Washington Post. There was no comment from Israel at the time the Post published the story. You cannot say it is an outright lie.

PP from above has a good point. These were 80 bodies returned by Israel. What happened to these 80 people while under Israeli custody?


What’s happened to the 107 hostages, including young people and infants, that are still being kept by Hamas and Islamic Jihad?


Nice deflection. This has nothing to do with organ theft. If you listen to the rabid, dehumanizing, anti-Palestinian racism coming from Israel’s leaders, you’ll understand why and how organ theft has happened. If you can steal Palestinian land and lives, why would you not steal Palestinian organs?


Your whole argument is that Jews are just so terribly inherently evil, of course they will steal organs. If you think a person or group is the definition of evil, where evil literally flows from, everything that is bad on earth flows from them.


Where do I say “Jews”? I say “Israel’s leaders.” Your claim is absurd. Please stop throwing up melodramatic smoke screens about Jew hatred in a blatant effort to hide Israel’s repugnant behavior. Israel has admitted to organ theft, especially skin theft, in the past, and it is at least possible it is still doing the same thing. This is not conduct an ethical person would want to support.


This is gross distortion of reports - unsubstantiated and denied by Israel - from almost a decade ago. There is no evidence this is happening now. This rumor has been fueled by unsubstantiated claims from a Hamas-aligned organization.

An ethical person isn’t spreading blood libel-type rumors to fuel hatred against Jews. Enough.


Ok, you agree that Israel handed over 80 bodies, right?

Where did these 80 bodies come from? Who are they? What happened to them?

Even if you believe the explanation that they came from graves to check to see if they were hostages, I believe that is a violation of Geneva conventions. You can't just go around digging up graves and taking the bodies. Graves have to be respected.

An ethical person isn’t spreading blood libel-type rumors to fuel hatred against Jews. Enough.


But the former head of the Abu Kabir forensic institute near Tel Aviv, Dr. Yehuda Hiss, acknowledged the practice, so your accusation that people are "spreading blood libel-type rumors to fuel hatred against Jews" is simply histrionic and illogical. Instead of throwing up a smoke screen in an attempt to silence concerns, why not call for an independent investigation to prove or disprove the claims?

Here is some further information:

"Israel has admitted pathologists harvested organs from dead Palestinians, and others, without the consent of their families – a practice it said ended in the 1990s – it emerged at the weekend."
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/dec/21/israeli-pathologists-harvested-organs

From the same report:

"Channel 2 TV reported that in the 1990s, specialists at Abu Kabir harvested skin, corneas, heart valves and bones from the bodies of Israeli soldiers, Israeli citizens, Palestinians and foreign workers, often without permission from relatives.

The Israeli military confirmed to the programme that the practice took place, but added: "This activity ended a decade ago and does not happen any longer."

Hiss said: "We started to harvest corneas ... whatever was done was highly informal. No permission was asked from the family.""

Jumping to the present ... Yesterday, Israel handed over about 80 corpses to officials in the Gaza Strip without any explanation of where they came from. Gaza authorities are saying there are signs of organ theft and have called for an independent international investigation. They are also saying there have been previous incidents since October 7 of corpses missing organs and exhumed corpses. They say Israelis dug up a mass grave and confiscated bodies and that the IDF confiscated dozens of corpses from two hospitals in Gaza.

Given Israel's history and the current information, the concerns are very reasonable. I'm sure we'd all welcome an independent investigation to clear up the matter one way or the other.

You're still flogging the tired, old canard that criticizing Israel is racist and hateful. The propagation of "conspiracies and hate" comes in large part from those who make the vile accusation that any condemnation of Israel's actions is "antisemitic." Israel is not a sacred cow and is not above criticism.

A plurality of Gazans are pro Hamas.

57% of American Muslims believe 10/7 was justified.

Not to mention the myriad protesters, students, and academics in the US who overtly supported 10/7.

Check the polls and stop lying.

There is no end to your deflection. You are spreading disgusting rumors and Hamas-fueled propaganda. It is indefensible and a perfect example of how grotesque anti-Jewish hatred permeates anti-Israel critique.
