We should be skeptical.

There’s a difference between being skeptical and rejecting overwhelming evidence because it doesn’t support your biases.

Keep quiet and be thought a fool. Speak up and remove all doubt.

Years ago when Israel was bombing Gaza, Ronald Reagan saw a photo of a little boy with both arms blown off. He called Menachem Begin on the telephone and told him it was a bad look, and he should cut it out. Begin declared a ceasefire. Granted, we know it didn't last long, but any ceasefire at all saves lives. 

It's sad that our current leadership lacks the will or the power that Reagan apparently had.

If the US cut off funding for Israel everything would change.

Or the current leadership of Israel is much more resistant to advice from American presidents than the Israeli leadership during the Reagan administration.

That’s a good observation. Israel needed American goodwill more then than it does now.

That's likely. Israel seems to have reached some kind of tipping point, where they know that absolutely anything they do will be downplayed and justified by the US. 

I wonder if this is the increased reach of AIPAC. Or maybe Netanyahu took advantage of the fact that Biden is senile. Whatever it is, Israel is going strong for its Final Solution, and so far the US is right behind them.

If they won't take our advice, we shouldn't offer our money and weapons, just the same as if Cousin Jethro doesn't quit his meth habit, I'm not "loaning" him another dime. We Americans should either leverage our aid to Israel, or cut it off.

This having-it-both-ways crap is long past its sell-by date.

Also Dick Cheney has just endorsed Kamala.

Perhaps she can help him find Saddam's Weapons of Mass Destruction.

RE: Noteworthy News
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
