The problem is much bigger than IAPAC, Israel or any one, specific country.

Money-in-Politics is The Cause;

Everything else is a Symptom.

There will be no peace in the Middle East. We know what the outcome will be from a clash between two incompatible "an eye for an eye" cultures. Knesset overwhelmingly passes motion rejecting Palestinian statehood, days before PM's US trip  The resolution argues that such a state would be an "existential threat" to Israel and would serve as a base for Palestinian extremist groups to launch further attacks.

.

The feasibility of a Palestinian state depends entirely on substantive changes in Israeli policy; its borders would be the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem per pre-1967 lines, but settlement activities and political realities currently make such a state virtually unattainable 

.

The best position on the Middle East, for those of us supporting either side, is to stand with Bernie and focus domestically, to eliminate the influence of money-in-politics by all foreign countries on our political decisions. https://www.movetoamend.org/

Let me be crystal clear. I am not saying that we as a group should do nothing. I am saying let us put concerted effort into issues over which we have control. Support or opposition of the conflict in Gaza is an issue and choice for each of us is to make individually; it is not an issue that should divide Berniecrats up as a group. We need every person's support for Berniecrat issues and goals that concern us all - Stay Focused.

Two “positive” outcomes for us in the U.S. from the conflict in Gaza.

1. The highlighting the influence of money from AIPAC for the funding weapons to Israel. This may be the initial step in raising awareness in the general public for the need to get money-out-of-politics.

2. It puts to rest the trope that opposition to the political policies of Israel are anti-Semitic.

I'm working on Robert People for Congress's campaign, we reached out about the pledge weeks ago but haven't gotten a response

This pledge does not address the primary problem we have in our elected oligarchy. This is that we have no control over the people we elect as our representatives, after elections. Without this control by our voting citizens,after elections, we only end up protesting and pleading with people we have no power over. My Direct Democracy constituent polling pledge is a plan to have us involved in law-making and policies that affect our daily lives. It immediately ends the political bribing in our legislative and executive branches in all levels of government, and will also stop our autocratic private political parties influence on legislation.
