    So many have crossed that water. If you are American, there is someone in your linage that uprooted themselves and took that chance. And they’re still standing in line.

    Sometimes it isn’t about votes. Sometimes it’s doing what is right.

      Doing what’s right is using the US’ leverage to stop the killing, not accepting ‘some refugees’. In fact, Netanyahu would love nothing more than to have everyone from the Gaza strip move elsewhere.

        US leverage is not a golden wand

          It pretty much is. And even if it wasn’t, cutting off military aid to a regime committing war crimes is both the moral and legal thing to do. Biden is literally breaking US law to keep sending weapons to Israel.

      My great grandmother was an indentured servant for 4 years. That was the only way she could afford to emigrate from Europe.

      The right thing to do would be to force Israel to adhere to what the UN says plus what Israel had previously agreed to.
