While I have empathy for the people of Gaza and the West Bank and I think Netanyahu is a criminal and a thug, I don't get these protestors' focus on the Democrats.

In this election we have two choices, the Democrats who favor a two state solution and have pushed for the end of this war or tRump and the GOP who would give Netanyahu and right wing extremists in Israel a free pass to "do whatever the hell they want". They would also give Putin the freedom to take all of Ukraine and put Poland at risk.

These actions designed to hurt Harris-Walz and the Democratic Party are short sighted, self destructive and quite frankly stupid.
