AIPAC owns the US & most politicians. Look up “AIPAC Tracker” to see how much money various Republican and Democratic politicians have been paid. We basically have a foreign entity running our government.

This phrase implicitly calls for the removal of Israel, and political change. It has been used by organizations like Hamas. If we want peace - WE DO - then we should say that. The how is complex.
Using phrases by those who perpetrate violence (including the Israeli far right, Hamas, Hezbollah and Al Qaeda) might not be the best way to show the desire for Peace and Freedom.
