Recently, some Democrat members of Congress are called for the USA to “use its diplomatic might” for peace between Gaza and Israel instead of “continuing unconditional weapons sales and military aid to Israel.”
Instead of continuing unconditional weapons sales and military aid to Israel, I urge the United States at long last to use its diplomatic might to push for peace.

Well, this may come to a shock to Rep. Ilhan Omar but former President Barack Obama doesn’t agree.
“All Americans should be horrified and outraged by the brazen terrorist attacks on Israel and the slaughter of innocent civilians. We grieve for those who died, pray for the safe return of those who’ve been held hostage, and stand squarely alongside our ally, Israel, as it dismantles Hamas.

This is a strong statement for Obama, in 2014, he wanted an immediate ceasefire after Hamas attacked Israel and was accused of withholding weapons to try and pressure them.
Then, how could we forget the Iran deal he made.
However, let’s be honest, you can’t ignore the brutality of the Hamas attack. Especially, when they filmed the violence and even uploaded it on the phones of the victims to social media.
So far, at least 900 people have been killed and 2,500 have been wounded.
As of the writing of this post, President Biden reported that 11 US citizens were killed.
For some good news, 30 people have been rescued.
Good news: 30 missing people have been rescued and are safe and sound. They were hiding in Kibbutz Ein HaShlosha, 16 Israelis and 14 foreign nationals from Thailand. pic.twitter.com/RLfcroYzjq
