We must as Americans stop arming Israel. And Israelis must bring down Netanyahu. May the memory of Anas Al Sharif and the memories of all who died on October 7 and beyond be for more than a blessing. May their memories pressure us to move beyond the horror of the present to end this war and rebuild
