This country's government needs to stop supporting Israel.

A joint submission from four bureaus - Democracy Human Rights & Labor; Population, Refugees and Migration; Global Criminal Justice and International Organization Affairs – raised "serious concern over non-compliance" with international humanitarian law during Israel's prosecution of the Gaza war.
The assessment from the four bureaus said Israel's assurances were "neither credible nor reliable." It cited eight examples of Israeli military actions that the officials said raise "serious questions" about potential violations of international humanitarian law.

These included repeatedly striking protected sites and civilian infrastructure; "unconscionably high levels of civilian harm to military advantage"; taking little action to investigate violations or to hold to account those responsible for significant civilian harm and "killing humanitarian workers and journalists at an unprecedented rate."

If you are suggesting that the US government STOP supporting a country that is prepared to do what the US government wants it to do on the basis that the government of that country is indulging in morally reprehensible behaviour, then you are suggesting a MASSIVE change in the de facto foreign policy of the US governments for the past 150 years.
 
What second term?

After Jan 6, MAGAS are delusional if they believe Trumo will get a second term.

Is it your contention Muslims are incapable of being objective about Israel/Palestine?
