Lots of us voted for Donald Trump three times.  But we vehemently oppose his support for the butcher Netanyahu, and the Apartheid state of Israel.  No American should ever forget the Israelis' unprovoked attack on the USS Liberty.[2]

Now Trump is aligning himself—and the United States—with Netanyahu, the "Settlers" and rabid Zionists.  Decades ago, Netanyahu morphed into his ancestors' Nazi oppressors.  He was hated by Ariel Sharon and the Rabins.

Leah Rabin blamed him for her husband Yitzhak's tragic assassination.  She believed that peace was impossible with Netanyahu at the helm of Israel's government; and her views were prescient and prophetic.

He needs to be arrested now, and tried by the International Criminal Court for his many crimes.  Indeed, a trial like that of the Nazi Adolf Eichmann—with a similar result—is needed to underscore the gravity of his crimes.

Anti-Semitism has been rising to levels not seen since World War II, with much worse yet to come.  No Jew is safe anywhere.  This is Netanyahu’s "gift" to global Jewry.  For Trump to align himself—and the United States—with this monster is madness.

Lots of us are Independents, who are not aligned with either political party or any candidate.  Is this enough to turn us away from Trump—even after watching most of his rallies, and supporting him since he and Melania came down the escalator at Trump Tower?  Emphatically yes.[3]

For Trump to ally himself with the butcher Netanyahu is an unforgivable sin.
