My last latest oped

The attack to dismantle the Houthis is in the national security interests of the US/West. Claiming US forces are being used only to further the interests of Israel is blatant antisemitism. www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/menaso... www.wilsoncenter.org/article/who-...

My Washington Post letter in response to Senator Chris Van Hollen oped about Israel

Americans reasserted in the election that quality of life issues are their most important priority. Exteme progressives are killing the Democrats trying to infer this election was about Israel - that is ridiculous. No data supports it. Americans overwhelmingly support Israel.

Hezbollah attacked Israel everyday for almost a year before Israel invaded. I know Israel haters think this is fine, but the days of Jews not defending themselves are long gone. Where is your sympathy for the 60,000 displaced Israeli civilians ?

Hamas initiated a war that resulted in 1200 dead Israeli civilians and thousands injured. Like any nation, Israel responds. Yet Israel is blamed, and the word “genocide” meaninglessly used, when Hamas purposely hides behind civilians causing their deaths? Have we lost our ability to think clearly ?

I really hope Bluesky becomes a social medium platform of civil discussion that works to bring people towards common ground rather that exacerbating societal tensions.

Joining Blue Sky…looking for my friends to join me.
