2024 MA Senate race: on War & Peace


John Deaton: Israel has the absolute right to defend itself

The brutal terrorist attacks of October 7th serve as a solemn reminder that evil, and anti-Semitism still exist in our world. I strongly believe that Israel has the absolute right to defend itself and its borders. Hamas is a terrorist organization whose Charter is the complete destruction and annihilation of Israel and to bring death to every Jew. Any solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict must include an unequivocal acknowledgment of Israel's right-to-exist. In sum, Hamas seeks to kill Jews and Americans and it must be defeated. From being the sole democracy in a troubled part of the world, to sharing intelligence on terrorists who want to kill Americans, Israel is one of America's strongest allies in the world--and supporting Israel is in America's interests.

I believe Rules of Engagement must be followed. Even a country defending itself from an act of genocide must takes measures to reduce the loss of civilian life, whenever possible.

John Deaton: Only finance Ukraine with metrics for tactical independence

America is financing a war between Ukraine and Russia that has no plan and no end in sight. Hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars have been spent by lawmakers without a clear definition of what constitutes success. Russia is undoubtedly an adversary and should not be allowed to invade neighboring nations, but Ukraine must also establish its own processes for self-determination. As Senator, I would only support additional funds to Ukraine if President Zelenskyy can meet metrics for financial and tactical independence established by the U.S. in a bipartisan matter.
