"...We have to ask the question – who are these congressional members unifying with? Because it isn’t their constituents,” said protester and disruptor Nika Salazar.
ow, as I see it they may be well meaning, but disarming Israel won't bring peace, it will just invite more attacks from the death-to-Israel forces led by Iran and their jihadi allies which are not disarming. They have made no secret their vision for Palestine is an Islamic state with virtually no Jews (as is already true in the Arab world and the parts of Palestine under Arab control) and few rights for secular people, women, gays. Most Americans wont go along with that agenda.
We should all want to stop the war, the first step is to pressure both sides to accept the UN framework for a 6 week ceasefire, return of hostages and Palestinian prisoners, much more aid to Gaza. But for permanently peace, the only way is to try for reconciliation, a mutual understanding of each other's narratives, a rejection of the maximalist goals both sides have, and compromise, compromise by all. There is no other way.
And by the way, disrupting Democratic events only plays into Trump's hands, I don't see how that does the cause any good. But maybe Republicans are bankrolling this group as they are Jill Stein's Green Party campaign
