Yehoyaqim certainly is right this time!

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!
