We must stop sending military aid to Israel until it honors its obligations under international law, including not attacking hospitals, UN refugee centers, and civilians in Gaza. Israel must lift the blockade on Gaza--itself a brutal act of war, and the brutal occupation of the West Bank.
Until Israel honors its obligations, it should be considered a military aggressor towards Palestine, and all violent actions by Palestine toward Israel are justifiable self-defense given the limited means at their disposal.
Israel was a big mistake from the very beginning, when Harry Truman made the USA the first state to recognize Israel while ignoring unsettled issues, such as the forcible expulsion of 750,000 Palestinians in order to create a Jewish majority. FDR had committed himself to seeking Arab approval before recognizing a Jewish state. At minimum, the Palestinian state should have been simultaneously recognized.
Ever since, the brutality and bad faith of Israel has continued and become our brutality and bad faith. As the supporters of state terrorism by Israel, we make ourselves legitimate targets for justifiable asymmetric warfare.
We are better off not supporting Israel, and the world would be a better place if Israel were abandoned.
