According to Omer Bartov, a strong supporter of Israel and an astute observer of events since October 7, “In brief, Israel seems to have no political plan and a very hazardous military one. It can only blame itself – not least Netanyahu, but also the military leadership—for having arrived at this point.”

Ok, let's do exactly that. Let's shove it - right back into our own pockets! Let's stop all military and financial aid to Israel and Ukraine. Let's recall from the Middle East and Ukraine all our military and intel assistance back to home waters and borders. While we're at it, let's stop all NGO and other lobby contributions to campaigns. I'm so tired of our crazy, corrupt government at all levels and all political parties. Unfortunately, in our name, our government has already participated in the slaughter, so we have acquired a moral obligation to provide humanitarian aid and reparations. I'm ok with that as long as it's through third parties and closely monitored.

As I've said before, the Gaza and wider conflict can only end in one of two ways. Either one side completely wipes out the other in an act of brutal genocide, or the peoples there learn to live with each other peacefully on the same land, in which everyone's personal and legal rights are protected. It's a binary decision that can only be made by the parties on the land; we should stay out of it. If American Jews and Palestinians want to participate in the struggle, then go there and get involved, one way or another, but leave the rest of us out of this insanity.
