Israel warning

To the editor:

I commend the Journal-World for its recent publication of Trudy Rubin’s hard warning against Israel’s disastrous theft of Palestinian land for “settlements.”

As she rightly says, the Netanyahu government’s promotion of the settlements acts in contempt of long-standing U.S. policy aiming at a two-state solution to this wretched conflict. It also inflames hostility to the U.S. and Israel all over the Islamic world, endangering our troops, who include several of my young relatives.

It’s time for Kansas member of the U.S. House and Senate to imitate Ms. Rubin and speak the truth about this conflict. She has. Will they?
