19. Enough Already

We have had quite enough of Mr. Netanyahu's directing our country how to carry out its foreign policy. He needs to keep quiet after his shameful and hateful remarks of recent months. His speech to congress a while back was really over the top. This man needs to quiet down.

America is turning away from supporting Israel and its human rights violations. As a person of faith, I believe in non violence.
Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions are a non violent strategy to convince Israel that they must stop violating human rights of Palestinians. Only then can they have a peaceful, one state, bilingual and bicultural state. I feel sorry for all the Israelis who
moved there to have a better, safer life and live out their ideals. It did not turn out that way for them. A new policy for human rights can work and a change of hearts is in order. The present path in Israel is not sustainable.
