The United States currently has millions of children living in hunger, people with hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loans purely because they wanted to better themselves, and most people are one medical issue away from homelessness. We have so many issues to fix at home before helping another country further displace and promote violence on Palestinians. Free Palestine!

While it's undeniable that there are significant domestic issues to address, foreign policy isn't a zero-sum game. The U.S. can and should work on improving domestic issues while maintaining strategic alliances abroad. For instance, Israel is a key partner in intelligence sharing, counterterrorism, and a valuable ally in a volatile region. Its strategic position and technological advancements serve the U.S.'s interests. Also, to address your concern about violence and displacement, continued engagement can allow the U.S. to exert positive influence over Israel's policies towards Palestinians. How do you propose the U.S. should balance its domestic and foreign responsibilities?

Israel's technological advancements are a result of America sharing our high technology with them. The B. I. R. D., The B. A. R. D., The B. S. F., are the primary reasons for them becoming the startup nation. Israel's goal is to move our semiconductor manufacturing to their land. To install more backdoors into our computer systems to monitor and gather our secret information. Our R&D Centers have moved out of the USA to Israel. Why take away jobs? Why move them to an unstable region? It's a manufactured crisis to pull endless financial and military aid from American taxpaye…  Read more

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”
