Letter: Americans must speak up about Israel, Palestinians

I think what Israel is doing is horrific. This property was taken from the Palestinians 77 years ago.

I read in the Washington Post we recently sent war machinery to Israel. What the hell is going on?

In my estimation, the Palestinians are being treated like the Blacks had been treated in this country. Benjamin Netanyahu is no better than Putin, and we’re standing by while innocent children, adults and seniors are being slaughtered.

I’m sick of what this country has become, citizens and politicians. People do not believe in their government, so they do not vote; they believe their votes do not matter. I ask young people to vote, explaining to them that there is power in numbers. They do not believe it.

It appears the only thing politicians care about is getting reelected, their power to benefit themselves or whomever put them in office. I believe Israel thinks it can get by with this because the United States needs them in the Middle East. What If we quit supporting them?

If my vote counts, then take action to stop this senseless war, allow two states.
