75. The Financial Times op ed makes sense, calls for different control structure

Wed Jul 1, 2026, 12:39 PM

It is up to those concerned for the people of Gaza. to present an alternative plan or insist upon necessary changes to this Board of Peace.

That includes people posting on this board, the DSA, Bernie Sanders, and a number of organizations.

Meanwhile the slaughter and misery continue.

When Sanders urged us to vote for Harris he said he would work with her on a plan for Gaza. She did not win but we still need a plan.

Needs to be done even though Harris not president.
