No, I'm far from "unhinged," but I most certainly am disgusted by what Israel has done to the Palestinians, its over-the-top reaction to Oct 7 by instilling collective punishment, a murder spree by a state against unarmed and unprotected civilians unseen in this century. And it flabbergasts me that anyone, especially an American steeped in the concept of a free society, would approve, indeed cheer, a state that violates that concept with such unabashed vigor. By the way, have you seen Chuck Schumer's speech in the Senate today, calling for new elections in Israel? This has to be the first time in memory he said something I agree with. And the fact that it is coming from Chuck Schumer, a man with a long history of standing up for Israel, suggests to me that he and his party are slowly coming to realize the American people are rightly appalled that our government is funding Israel's genocide.
