Truth leads to justice and peace. As a veteran, I learned early that conflicts will be resolved when dialogue with truth is combined.
It is time to bring peace with justice to Israel/Palestine. The president and a majority in Congress know the truth and what is required for peace. They also should know, and I quote U.S. Rep. Becca Balint, D-Vt., who stated in a recent op-ed: “… that killing civilians, and killing children, is an abomination and categorically unacceptable – no matter who the civilians are, and no matter who the children are.” Further, she states: “I want Vermonters to know that I am using the influence and power of my position to bring an end to this horrific violence and suffering.”
Rep. Balint is a courageous Jewish American. She speaks truth to a shameless majority in Congress and to President Joe Biden who are suppressing truth and flaming the conflict by providing arms and blocking cease-fire resolutions.
Shame on Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, D-Skamania, for suppressing debate and for refusing to join those calling for a cease-fire. Shame on Secretary of State Antony Blinken, our lead diplomat, begging Congress for more war money. Shame on Sens. Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell whose silence enables the carnage.
