During the last war (invasion of Lebanon), in a tiny country of just a few million, we saw 1/2 milion Israelis demonstrating for an immediate end to Israel's military aggression. What else but the assurance of endless US military and financial aid kept the war going? An end to US pressure to pursue US foreign policy interests certainly would help the significant peace movement in Israel! It certainly would help Israel begin to act in the bests interests of the Israeli people: mutual recognition and reconciliation with the Palestinean people! Dialogue, not Flames, Andy Berman
