Act Now

I no longer listen when American politicians tell us that they totally support Israel's right to self defense and also are committed to justice for Palestinians. 

It's time to act. No more talk. Do something.

Thousands of years ago, Hammurabi laid down the rule of an eye for an eye, a rule designed to limit the range of revenge. So impressed by this commonsense were the ancient Israelites that they included the rule in the Torah. Christians adopted it in the Old Testament. 

The rule is not ten eyes for an eye. 

Our leaders can stop the war in Gaza. They should do something. The Overton window has shifted. Act now.
