Beneath the Rubble.... Hope...

Nancy O'Brien Simpson OMG. OMG. OMG. This is incredible.My son-in-law Steven told me that the martyrdom of the Palestinians in Gaza would be the genesis of change. He was prescient in his prediction. The suffering of the Palestinian people, the images of dead children, the destruction of an entire society, and the obscene complicity of the United States have finally begun to break through the political wall that has protected Israel from accountability for decades. On Wednesday, 104 members of the House of Representatives—including 103 Democrats and Republican Thomas Massie—voted to cut off the $3.3 billion in annual U.S. military financing to Israel. The amendment failed, with 314 members voting against it, but something happened that would have been almost unthinkable not long ago: nearly half of House Democrats voted to stop sending American tax dollars and weapons to the Israeli military.
