Second message on Gaza (to White House 5-28-24):
Don’t keep getting pushed around by Netanyahu. He only wants to weaken and help DJT succeed and protect his butt from loss in Israel. Act more decisively not tactically. Americans appreciate decisiveness. Look how DJT keeps hold of his followers by acting tough. Act tough for Justice! Be decisive on the right side of history. No more offensive or dual-use weapons to Israel until they announce a real ceasefire. Take the initiative. Come up with your own peace plan. Bring in Arab, European, and other partners as guarantors. You may be criticized, but that comes with the territory and shows the leadership we need.
Publicly announce that only a two-state solution will resolve this issue. I suggest you propose a $200 billion fund (US, Europe, Arab countries, etc.) to finance the building of an international airport in the West Bank, a regional airport in Gaza, a seaport in Gaza, a rail connection if technically feasible between the West Bank and Gaza. Only this framework will make a Palestinian entity viable. I wish someone on your staff could give me a ring or start an email correspondence for further advice on issues.
Consider some sort of Fireside chat approach dealing with a few important issues to reach the greater public such as the Gaza crisis, preserve our democratic voting traditions, your fight to hold inflation down by calling out greedy actors, improving access to good healthcare, preserving Social Security and Medicare. We have to win and win decisively in November.
