Never-ending Wars

Do you support ending never-ending wars in the Middle East?
Yes, strongly

Israel and its recent actions

What are your views on Israel and its recent actions?

Israel, a foreign nation, has no right to Ohio tax dollars. Buying $65 million in Israeli bonds (2024 & 2025) plus $5 million to “study” issues of Ohio-Israeli mutual interest (SB-200). Those monies should be invested in the people and communities of Ohio, not a foreign nation.
I believe Israel poses a serious threat to American sovereignty. Investigations by the United Nations and the International Criminal Court show Israel may have committed war crimes and genocide. Legal processes are ongoing. These are serious allegations. The US must not become entangled and needs to distance itself from Israel.
