The Blogger Is In Chicago

I am in Chicago having participated in the march on Monday opposing my country’s funding of the genocide in Gaza.

I am a Jew and I grew up in a home where when my parents said never again they were not talking about only Jews but the slaughter of innocents of any nationality or race.

I know my gesture of marching is a small one but the images of Palestinians carrying maimed children is simply more than I can bear.

This war will not only devastate the people of the West Bank and Gaza but in the end will threaten the long term future of Israel.

  1. Thank you for your efforts John. I agree with your comments. I wish more protesters had showed up in Milwaukee for the Republican Convention. The Biden Administration has tried to curb the destruction in Gaza and worked towards a cease fire. Many of those efforts have resulted in backlash from Republicans and I have heard that Donald Trump has asked the Israelis to hold off on cease fire agreements until after the election. At least the Democrats are trying to bring peace and seeking a long-term resolution.
