There is no military solution; only a dedicated and long overdue political solution to these wars will bring peace, stability and reconciliation to the people of Eastern Europe and the Middle East.
Josh Paul should be congratulated and thanked for his resignation in protest from the State Department over the U.S. government’s response and overall policy towards Israel and Palestine.
The Secretary of State, meanwhile, flies to Israel and reportedly prevents his personnel from speaking of ceasefire and de-escalation. An end to such unconditional support can produce détente, compromise, and a diplomatic resolution.
Everyone who doesn’t want World War III and planetary omnicide should be urgently demanding a simple ceasefire.
An immediate ceasefire is needed in Gaza to prevent mass death of Palestinian civilians
Once again, American troops may be drawn into a war that is not about our national defense; it’s no
wonder we are having recruiting issues.
“The US military and diplomatic corps should be ashamed of their collaboration and support for Israel’s ongoing violations of international law and Israel’s opening phases of an ethnic cleansing campaign in Gaza.
The ongoing horror in Palestine and Israel builds on generations of occupation and oppression.
We all should condemn and hate the fact that innocent women and children have been killed, injured, and captured by a group that can be described as barbaric. It is also barbaric that the Palestinians have been restricted to a caged environment with no access to the outside world and treated worse than animals. They will eventually lash out in the most unimaginable and vicious ways if they have no other recourse.
Senator Cardin’s blocking of $235 million in military aid to Egypt is a much-needed step in halting US support for non-democratic, predatory and corrupt foreign governments. However, Senator Cardin’s funding block comes after the US State Department issued a waiver to allow Egypt to receive the aid despite Egypt’s systemic and persistent human rights violations. Senator Cardin’s action does not stop Egypt from receiving more than $1 billion in other U.S. military assistance provided to Egypt without condition.
