U.S. must stop supplying weapons to Israel

Posted June 17, 2024 11:38 am

Last night, I was watching my grandchildren 20 and 39 months old. They cried inconsolably when their parents left, but they returned in less than three hours. It was hard to watch them crying and not be able to stop their distress.

This morning, I watched the news about atrocities in Gaza that happened last night. Unfortunately, many children in Gaza will never see their parents again and even worse - some parents may end up holding a white shroud filled with the body parts of their children, courtesy of an American made, Israeli dropped, bomb. I imagine my grandkids that I love so much in those situations.

We cannot allow this to continue. We must end our supply of weapons to Israel to end this slaughter of civilians both in Gaza and the West Bank causing a ceasefire, immediate and permanent. Then provide abundant humanitarian aid and bring about negotiations that lead to all the people there living in peace, freedom and prosperity. This is what America is about, not enabling genocide.
