Republicans are foaming at the mouth for Netanyahu to chat them up. Their vile comments for disproportionate retaliation often get linked to Bush’s response to 9/11, saying it’s Israel’s right to retaliate like we did.

We lost almost 3,000 innocent people on 9/11. Bush claimed almost 1M lives in his two front war. I’m a New Yorker and I protested his murderous response.

We were wrong then, and this is wrong now.

Attending & hitting with pointed-questions would do more than not-attending.

Same with all the people who quit their post in order to protest the misuse-of-authority: when you get out of abuse’s way … you aren’t hindering it, you’re only making a “social statement”.

Remaining in the way, & pushing back is what’s required, right?
