my post today on CNN

Israel has been in violation of Resolution 242 since 1967, has twice said no to the Saudi Peace Accord that gave them full recognition by Arab states by simply abiding by 242, and for years now has sealed off Gaza from vital supplies including food, fuel, medicine and concrete to punish them for electing Hamas....are the Gazans supposed to watch their children die? I supported Israel for years not realizing their crimes against the Geneva Conventions and the UN., thinking it is a safe Jewish homeland. But it is an expansionistic Zionist regime that within 3 weeks of its creation in 1948 had seized 40% MORE land than has been allocated for its creation, plus within weeks after that had expelled 700,000 native inhabitants, again in stark violation of the accords that led to its creation. Israel is perennially largely at fault for its woes and the vast suffering it causes innocents. Not ONE nation recognizes as legal its seizure of Jerusalem, yet here in violation of the Geneva Conventions (yet again) they want to build 1,600 MORE homes in land they illegally occupy. And the US funds them and sells them weapons unconditionally year after year....and then they and we whine about being hated "for our freedoms and way of life". America and Israel are on the wrong side of both morality and history.
