Can you Imagine that one of these images shook the world, while the other went unnoticed? Donald Trump. Gaza.

Jewish history has meant that most of us have refused to be oppressors. The American Jews sitting in the US Congress stand in that line. We do not accept the killing and mutilation and orphaning of thousands of children. Netanyahu is a criminal and should be tried, not applauded.

I will never back down in speaking truth to power. The apartheid government of Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians. Palestinians will not be erased. Solidarity with all those outside of these walls in the streets protesting and exercising their right to dissent.
