I would suggest heeding Doug's wise advice, offered in a different context 
on the list a short time ago:  "Given the state of things right now, it's 
more imperative than ever that people on 'our' side not be naive, 
obfuscating, sentimental, or stupid."  In this instance, I think such a 
stance requires calling for an end to all U.S. financial and military 
support of Israel immediately.
