As a prologue to the webinar tomorrow, I urge you to go to the program aired today on DEMOCRACY NOW where Elena Stein of Jewish Voice for Peace delivers the most astounding and enlightening commentary on the real reason why Biden/Harris and our Congress is hell-bent on collaborating with Israel in genocide. The segment can be located at the 25 minute mark from the beginning of the program hosted by Amy Goodman. It is nothing short of mind-blowing!
