No, we should not support an illegal occupation and apartheid state

 @9CJV6NFanswered…2yrs2Y

No, cut all support and aid to Israel and all other Apartheid colonial regimes

 @99CN88Zfrom Nevada  answered…2yrs2Y

No, we should not support countries involved in state-sponsered terrorism.

 @9KRLW5Fanswered…12mos12MO

Not the current administration, not until they stop invading and bombing Gaza, not until they support the settlers in the West Bank, not until they seek a solution that allows both peoples to live in peace.
At the same time, support for Hamas by countries and associations and collusion with it by UN departments and UNRWA should be countered

 @9S6KB2Jfrom North Carolina  answered…7mos7MO

Yes, but end arms sales and pressure them to accept a ceasefire and make steps towards a 2 state solution

 @9J3KYCRfrom New Jersey  answered…1yr1Y

Yes, but financial and military aid is not needed due to Israel's strong economy and army, meaning that this aid should go to Ukraine while keeping support for Israel limited to political support

 @9MK3BCFanswered…10mos10MO

Yes, with more aid and support, we should also move our embassy to Jerusalem in order to showcase our commitment towards our allies in Israel.

Trump's Deportation Storm: America Braces for Mass Exodus of Immigrants

For months, immigration advocates have been planning for the possibility of Donald Trump’s return to the White House. Now, their worst fears have arrived.Immigrants’ rights groups have spent the last year preparing for a second Trump term and an overhaul of the nation’s immigration system, analyzing Trump’s proposals, drafting legal briefs, coordinating messaging and organizing aid for immigrants and asylum seekers. They responded to Trump’s victory with alarm and vowed to put up a fight, setting the stage for four more years of contentious court battles with his administration.Some are already preparing to push current leadership at the Department of Homeland Security to take steps to stymie the incoming Trump team, particularly on immigrant detention and the use of AI in enforcement.“We should expect to see the devastation of immigrant communities all over the country. We should expect to see family separation,” said Kica Matos, the president of the National Immigration Law Center. “It is entirely possible that he will try to use the military to carry out deportations, so that means that Americans all over the country will see the military engaging in enforcement against civilian populations, which is horrifying.”Trump, after winning a historic victory on a platform of turbo-charged immigration enforcement, has said he will conduct mass deportations at a scale never before seen. Immigrant advocates have warned this would be expensive and inhumane, separating families and wrecking communities. The president-elect has also vowed to build huge detention camps, hire thousands more border agents, funnel military spending toward border security and invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to expel suspected members of drug cartels and criminal gangs without court hearings.He has also said he would end “catch-and-release” — allowing migrants to remain free, often with monitoring, while they await immigration court hearings — and restore a policy from his first term requiring asylum seekers to remain in Mexico while their cases are processed. And he has dodged questions about whether he would try to bring back family separation.
