Does a true progressive support Apartheid ISRAEL, illegal settlements in PALESTINE, deny the Palestinians freedom and justice in their land, instead of the tyranny of an illegal Occupation? I don't think so. Yet, BRian Schatz and Mazie Hirono signed a letter to OBAMA to increase billions of dollars in funds to ISRAEL to oppress the Palestinians as they illegally take their land, shoot and terrorize their children, destroy their homes. A good human being, a moral human being,  or progressive doesn't support such actions
