The unconditional, bipartisan support for Israel will be ending.

A few of the leading Democratic candidates, including the Jewish one, are willing to withhold aid to Israel if they keep violating Palestinian human rights.

Israel is becoming a dirty word on American college campuses now. You'll see a lot of young Jews being virulently anti-Israel.

Expect U.S. foreign policy to change depending on party.

Yes! Not sure how many more Palestinian generations would go through this difficult time until the world comes to its sense and recognize the truth, though.

I have seen revolution and war all my childhood and adult life, and now I guess its my son’s turn to live in horror and confusion for rest of his life.....

If we fought with our proxies we wouldn’t have our top general walking around the region being targeted by US force. We wouldn’t have lost our young men defeating ISIS. We have been asked to help, officially, by Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Kuwait, Kurds in different situations.

I'm not sure I completely understand what you're saying.

Don't you give Katyusha rockets to Hamas?

Isn't Hezbollah your Shiite proxy?

I think Europeans have already recognized the truth about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict for a long time.

For various reasons, Americans have been blinded until now. Now, Americans can see what's happening in the 2006 Lebanon war. Educated Americans under thirty all see.

There is a pro-Palestinian group, Jewish Voice for Peace, whose membership doubles every time Israel fights a war.

Would you tell me who is Hamas? Please give me your educated guess. I assume you are one of those under thirty educated American who cares about the truth.

Hamas is a Palestinian resistance group that currently occupies the Gaza strip.
