Israelis killed: 0
Palestinians killed: 32
Democrats:
Israel has a right to defend itself against terrorist threats. It is intolerable that Israeli civilians live their lives under the constant fear of rocket attacks. That's why our administration was such a strong supporter of Israel's life-saving Iron Dome.

If you oppose Hamas’s violence and support nonviolent resistance to the occupation, take note that leading Democrats in general oppose and condemn nonviolent resistance to the occupation. No strategy that supports Palestinians is ever treated as valid.

This call for peace is rooted in the pain that SEIU members are feeling, from the Jewish…
