104. Israel is involved in Genocide. They must be called out. And a fair number of those

who voted for progressives were Jewish. I am part Jewish...My Great Grandma eloped with her lover in 1900; their families were against the marriage...they were both Jewish...settled in Wisconsin and then Chicago...their families were influential and tried to force them back to Germany...so they changed their religion and hid from their families. In the 1930's my Grandma tried to get them passage to the US...she failed. After the war, no one of the very large family was still alive. Grandma and my Dad looked...all perished. So I understand the need for Israel but it breaks my heart what Israel has become...Netanyahu is a war criminal. I can't jI ustify their behavior in GAZA or Lebanon. I will not vote for any candidate in a primary who defends the Israelis government in terms of GAZA and/ or Lebanon. I always vote Democratic during an election.
