We remember you telling a Palestinian constituent you were too busy eating dinner when she tried telling you about her murdered family members in Gaza.
Netanyahu & his right-wing war cabinet have created a humanitarian catastrophe, killing thousands of Palestinian civilians. Israel needs leadership that will bring the hostages home, not wage months of war.
Stop bombing Gaza. Resume the cease-fire. Work toward a permanent peace.
