Letter: It’s time America let Israel proceed at its own risk and its own expense
The U.S. Capitol in Washington, as protestors gather for a pro-Israel march on Nov. 14, 2023.in The Tribune . I agree with his view that countries should not be subject to the death penalty, as he puts it, for their behavior. And, while I understand where he is coming from when he says that non-Jews aren’t entitled to an opinion about whether Jews should have a state or not, I don’t see or hear many making such an argument.
As for me, I am not a Jew, but I am a U.S. citizen who is tired of watching his hard-earned taxpayer dollars support continued ethnic cleansing in the West Bank to create Lebensraum for Israeli settlers who want to live in the occupied territories because land is cheaper there than in Israel proper. I am tired of watching decade after decade slide by with no progress on a two-state solution. I know that Israel is not solely responsible for the failure to put this plan into action. However, if Israel intends to run out the clock on this agreement, as it appears, then I believe it’s time America stepped away from our unconditional support and let Israel proceed at its own risk and its own expense.

From October 7 to March 20 this year, the total Türkiye-Israel trade volume fell by nearly 33 percent, according to information compiled by the Figures sourced from the Trade Ministry and compiled by Anadolu reveal a substantial 33 percent decrease in Türkiye's trade interaction with Israel from October 7, 2023, to March 20, 2024. Meanwhile, Türkiye's exports to Israel fell 30 percent, while its imports decreased by 43.4 percent. Turkish nationals and companies have been gradually cancelling sales and orders with Israel, while trade is mostly with private firms, including some international ones, rather than state enterprises. Goods sent from Türkiye to Palestine pass through Israel and its customs gates due to Palestine's lack of its own customs facilities. Goods destined for Palestine are required to be labelled for Israel or include the phrase "via Israel." In addition, Israel does not recognise legal relations between Palestine and third countries, while it refuses to allow commercial transactions through the Rafah Border Crossing with Egypt. As a result, trade between third countries and Palestine is logged overwhelmingly as trade with Israel in data reflected in national statistics.
