Support defense funding for Israel
I am an Armenian Christian. I am a gentile. I am a U.S. Navy Vietnam veteran who supports Israel in the right to defend itself.
Why does the U.S. Congress want to deny military aid to Israel when the U.S. spends more than $100 billion dollars to other countries? How many of these countries the U.S. supports have been attacked with more than 4,000 rockets in 10 days? Truly denying aid to Israel is antisemitic by the liberal left U.S. Congress!

Celebrate Earth Day by changing diet
We have reduced our carbon footprint by curtailing travel and lowering our thermostats. We recycle. But we can do so much more by cutting our consumption of animal meat and milk products.
A recent article in The Guardian argues that animal agriculture is a major driver of climate change, as well as air and water pollution, depletion of soil and water resources, and destruction of wildlife habitat.
Oxford University s prestigious Food Climate Research Network reported that solving the global warming catastrophe requires a massive shift to plant-based eating.
