Letter to the editor: Stop the flow of weapons of war

I am sitting in my house, warm, dry, and safe while watching, in real time, the Hamas attack on Israel and now the genocide of the Palestinian people. We have become the people who we have learned about in history who stood by silently witnessing the murder of thousands. We are complicit in the killing, our tax dollars providing the guns, bullets, bombs and equipment. We shrug our shoulders and shake our heads claiming futility to ease our guilt while our fleets provide cover for the perpetrators.

But there is something we can do. Bombs not provided cannot be dropped and bullets not made cannot kill. No more weapons for the Middle East. No more money for Israel. No more. No more.
