From Heather Delaney Reese’s blog:
“This is a very dangerous moment in history, because whenever war breaks out in the Middle East, bad actors on every side try to collapse it into something about religion or ethnicity, and that is already happening now. Being Jewish is not just a religion. It is an ethnicity, a culture, a history, and a people, and none of that is what this war is about. The civilians of Iran did not start this war. The civilians of Israel did not start this war. The civilians of the United States did not start this war. What we are watching, across all three countries and beyond, is what happens when far-right and authoritarian governments capture democracies and drag innocent people into conflicts that serve their leaders’ power and no one else. And the only way through this, the only way any of us gets to the other side of this moment with our humanity intact, is if we refuse to let anyone convince us otherwise. These are not religious wars or ethnic conflicts. They are the wars of men who need enemies to stay in power, and the first casualty of that kind of war is always the truth about who the actual enemy is.”
Add war criminal to his descriptors.
Impeach, convict and remove.
