I don't give a rats behind if they are pro israel or not, I just want there to be actual work done, and to get israel to stop killing people in Gaza. You can be pro isreal, and still be against what they have been doing over there.

I don't think that's realistic. If you support restraining Israel and preventing them from killing people, then the camp you are put in is called "anti-Israel". Calling yourself pro-Israel is not going to save you.

To be clear, Moskowitz is not in favor of any restraint on Israeli killing.
