War no more

The Netanyahu regime has decided that it is in their security interests to attack Iran. With this aggressive move, Netanyahu is underming Trump’s attempt to negotiate a nuclear deal with Iran and destabilizing the whole middle east. At the same time, he is exploiting America's close ties with Israel to drag the US into yet another middle eastern WAR using the billions of dollars of military equipment supplied to them by the United States. 

Has our involvement in the continuous conflicts in the middle east taught us anything?

Since before 9/11, under both republican and democratic administrations, Americans have spent trillions of dollars, lost thousands of military personnel and killed unknown numbers of innocent civilians in conflicts in the Middle east. And what have we accomplished? Nothing but chaos and a much more dangerous world. 

No American should support any effort by our elected representatives, either Republican or Democrat, which will lead us into another war in the middle east.

Netanyahu should recall the Hebrew prophet Isaiah’s words:  “. . . and they will beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more,”(Isaiah 2:4)
