Israel/Palestine

(68,868 posts)for acknowledging the status of Palestinians as human beings. Political suicide to not kiss Israel's ass in most rural Congressional districts? Because of campaign $$$, not organic voter sentiment.
You (deliberately?) misread my statement--I said many are liberal on every other subject other than Israel. Chuck Schumer is such an example--with Barack Obama on every other issue, with Ted Cruz and Donald Trump on Israel.
The Palestinian state between the river and the sea is now very possible due to Israel's very own implementation of its Greater Israel project wherein Israel itself greedily gobbled up all of the land (including drinking water) between the river and the sea. The current state of Israel will perish when Palestinians put down rifles and demand the right to vote and other measures of basic human rights.
The settlements are Israel's suicide vest. History will not look kindly upon those who actively excused and enabled Israel's self-destruction under the guise of friendship.
