I listened, with great encouragement, to your speech at the United Nations General Assembly. I was especially happy to hear you call on members of that body to say publicly what they have said in private regarding the situation in the West Bank. I hope you will urge American politicians to do the same now, as the Senate is considers foreign aid appropriations legislation.
I was disappointed last winter to see so many American politicians, including my own elected representatives, issue such tepid rebukes, or none at all in the face Israel’s asymmetrical war in Gaza. When the death toll rises to a level of 1,700 to 13 we must ask whether the military aid we provide to Israel is truly being used for purposes of self-defense. I believe we have the duty to ask these questions of Israel before we agree to further foreign aid appropriations.
I look forward to more bold words and actions on your part as we try to use American influence in the region to bring peace to the Middle East.
Thank you for your service to this country,
