CEASEFIRE NOW!

It has been two years of almost non-stop brutal war since the horrific October 7, 2023 attacks by Hamas on Israel.  And that war is still going on, with horrific atrocities inflicted on the people of Gaza by the current fascist (or at least fascist-adjacent) Netanyahu/Likud regime that controls Israel.

CEASEFIRE NOW!

And do all of the following:

• Release ALL hostages yesterday! 
• Impeach, remove, and try Netanyahu and his underlings for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and perhaps even genocide as well, before the International Criminal Court.  Yesterday.
• Do the same to any and all Hamas leadership who are still alive.  Yesterday.
• Do NOT build any sort of "Gaz-A-Lago", but rather rebuild Gaza properly and ethically.
• Return to the pre-1967 borders (aka the "two-state solution"), end the illegal occupation since then, and end all illegal settlements.  Yesterday.
• Put Gaza under temporary international control before transitioning it to a new, local self-governing authority that is NOT adjacent to Hamas in any way.
• Abolish conscription completely and transition to an all-volunteer military.  Yes, really.  Yesterday.
• Give unconditional amnesty to all refuseniks (conscientious objectors and draft resisters).
• Implement a generous Universal Basic Income (UBI) for Israelis and Palestinians alike, with NO strings attached (call it "Shekels Without Shackles").
• Implement a "Truth and Reconciliation Commission".
• And finally, give very serious thought to having men on both sides step down and let women take over completely.  (I am only half-joking about this.)

So what are we waiting for?  The USA is in a unique position to pressure both sides (but especially Israel) to implement such things.  (But the Donald and his own fascist regime probably would NOT be keen on this at all, of course.)

P.S.  If anyone thinks we are somehow being antisemitic by opposing the Netanyahu regime, the war in Gaza, and the illegal occupation and settlements, that is clearly false.  We completely oppose any and all forms of antisemitism and any other bigotry based on race, creed, color, national origin, or any other demographic characteristics.
