The back & forth can be frustrating on this. Just wish there was a better Third Way than surrendering to the status quo.
Was reading Sunday's LA Times headlines just now: "Students' Rallying Cry: Free Palestine!"
And: "Israel Keeps Up Bombing, Including In Safe Zones."
And: "U.S. Is Struggling To Maintain Support For Israel.:
Lastly: "Palestinian Cause Takes Off At Campuses."
The status quo is not looking so good.
