Re: Opinion | John Brennan: Joe Biden Should Watch "The Present" - The New York Times
Liz has a reasoned and compelling argument.
Deborah Ross is better assumed to be a fair-minded person. Constituents are positioned to write asking her to delineate what would be needed to gain her support for such legislation in the future.
Rep. letters signed by more than one constituent, with a follow-up in event of no reply, are effective.

I agree with you, Liz!

It really does not matter if Ross is Jewish or Christian or whatever when we are dealing with the Palestine/ Israeli situation. Regardless of her religious background, or lack thereof, she is considered by many people to be progressive--especially because of her past work with the ACLU. She may be uninformed, or as a new Congress member just wanted to go along with leadership, or is an example of "progressive except for Palestine." We must continue to urge her to do what is right and not allow the United States to be complicit and an accomplice in Israel's oppression of the Palestinians.

Earlier today, I called rep. Deb Ross' local office in Raleigh about Betty McCollum's bill--HR 2590. And that I was disappointed that Ross was one of 300 members of Congress who were opposed to conditioning U.S. military aid to Israel. She is considered by many people to be a progressive--so this may be another example of "progressive except for Palestine."

While lamenting Brennan's NYT opinion shortcomings, Rarely if ever if in years past with the times I've covered an opinion like this – certainly not during the reign of Thomas Friedman. I hope Brennans opinion piece opens an avalanche of letters thst speak more grippingly of the plight of Palestinians under Israel's occupation/colonization. I will share it with JVP and other Palestinian, academic, human rights, Black Lives Matter/Movement for Black Lives, faith leaders and others.
Thanks for sharing.
