After Ilearned that Netanyahu publicly rejected a pathway towards Palestinian statehood I sent am email to my representatives to cut foreign aid to Israel. I recommend others do the same. I'm so fucking sick of it.

They are not our allies, they are just a convenient chihuahua dog that occasionally barks at the right people so we give them money for it.

Israel spends more money bipartsianaly bribing congress yearly than russia has ever. If you vote for either D or R, you are voting for that to continue.

Yeah true, but most people that read my comment can send an email literally right now. It takes no effort. And a lot of them do read it.
