[Oe List ...] Guernica article OE Digest, Vol 143, Issue 10

[Sharon Fisher]

Bill,

I really appreciate your reflections on this article. I agree that the
tightrope Biden is walking is part of it. I'm sensing that he may come to
calling Netanyahu out for his belligerent and war crimes. American
complicity to the carnage in Gaza needs to be confessed and our role
diminished as the major weapons supplier to Israel (and other nations). I
realize this won't happen easily or soon. Perhaps if we have a truly
investigative Congress, they might expose the greed of our weapons industry
and --at least-- ask/explore what we can do to change it.

I loved your "picking your tribe is not the answer" remark.
Playing/talking/arguing into this tribal dynamic is an important warning of
a distraction and a clue for turning to another approach, as in repentance
- turning our backs.

Thank you,
Sharon Fisher (formerly Robertson)
