  1. every private citizen can do it, ex means nothing
    Former diplomats have:
    No authority to set policy
    No access to classified decision-making
    No mandate from their governments
    No operational power
    They are private citizens writing a letter, just with fancier résumés.

  2. Most political parties in israel agree in principle that there is no place for a Palestine or Palestinians
    ..majority of Israeli voters feel the same way.
    ..the situation started in 1948 with the nakbah and nas been continuos since.
    ..israel project is and always has been forming a greater israel that covers lands Syria lebanon Egypt Sudan turkeyie

    ..yes there is a better way
    ..defunding and stopping arms supply to israel by usa usa france Germany

  4. It sounds like education an unhinged child. Negative consequences for negative behavior. But I think their reaction might be threatening or hostile to any sanctions like they are punished for " self defense". Because they are too entitled.

  5. At least they are calling for action, and a specific action. They need to be urgent and insistent about bringing the action into reality.

    And then they need to continue with action steps. NOW. TODAY. THIS WEEK.

    Unfortunately, it will take until al least until after the midterms in the US to start clawing back money from Israel and the IDF.
