9. So get co-sponsors for an amendment that makes military support conditional...

..while protecting whatever the hell he considers "overly broad."

Ending U.S. military support for genocide and war crimes by Israel is a moral imperative.

It is also a moral imperative to support Democrats over Republicans to save this liberal democracy of ours from destruction by the radical right.

In our current crisis, I think most in the Pro-Democracy coalition are clear that electing Democratic Party nominees (or the Independent candidate, in the case of Dan Sullivan in NE) outweighs the former. If the will of the people is cut out, we can't effect change on anything, Including the intolerable support of war crimes.

But the immoral support of a war criminal state by so many of our electeds and candidates is a sort of lunacy that is so obviously wrong it is difficult to fathom. If these people don't wake the fuck up, we will end up destroying America's liberal democracy in the name of supporting a war criminal state.

On edit: And to those who would brand me anti-Semitic, I say bullshit. Nothing I have ever said about the actions of the Israeli radical right government is more extreme than the condemnations in the Israeli press.
