Warfare is inherently ugly. But in a civilized world, there is a bright red line between ugly and genocidal. The IDF's bombardment of Gaza has killed at least 80,000 people. Self-defense is justified, revenge is not. When men go to war, they put themselves in harm's way to preserve the lives of their adversary nation's non-combatants. The IDF does not operate like men. In fact, it does not even operate within the rules of war. When I'm in Congress, I will not send a single dollar to any country that uses American money and weapons to commit crimes against humanity. I love America, and I will not allow us to incur God's wrath because of the Israel Lobby's genocidal project. I will always put America first.
