Karishma won’t fail our kids

Israel’s U.S.-supported atrocity in Palestine is the most important issue of our time because it reflects American character and is connected to all other matters.

Faced with this reality, some people care and do what they can.

Too many others look away, something easy to do as the establishment relentlessly pummels them with distraction and falsity while they are busy working and raising a family, with no time to validate hearsay.

Fortunately, more people are poking through the censorship to grasp reality and push back.

Nevertheless, the most stubborn to mature are legislators. Given the responsibility to delve deeper into issues, they should know better that supporting the U.S./Israeli actions drags American culture down, ensuring our grandchildren will be less safe. One day, when you are forced to confront the land acknowledgements and public apologies, what tricks will you employ, what lies will you tell, to sneak over to the right side of history? As Omar El Akkad writes, “One day, everyone will have always been against this.”

I won’t vote for anyone who aids Israel and clings to AIPAC money, nor for someone just because “they can win” or who represents the “lesser of two evils.” I’m done with that. Otherwise we end up in the same place.

I’ll vote for Karishma Manzur, who will not screw it up for our children. As an added bonus, we would benefit from her science background and energy to handle all other issues as New Hampshire senator.
