Trump cleared the way for this Bibi power grab and helped Jared chisel out a bailout for screwing the people of Israel and Palestine.

It seems only 35 republican congresspersons are confident they weren’t giving terror reconnaissance tours of the capitol in December and January. It’s an interesting number.

Trump initiated the Abrahams agreement.
No Trump...war is on.

That let Bibi know he could act without unified condemnation from the Arab world and that’s gotten us to where we are today, the aftermath of the coalition scuttling ploy, its still rising body count, and dimming prospects of the genie going back in the bottle any time soon.

 so, Hamas/Palestinians have tunnels in which they crawl along, and bob up from and kill Israelis?

Other than their occasional pearl-clutching at the transgressions of the Israelis, do you actually believe the "Arab world" has any great love for their Palestinian brethren?

And coverup.

Looks like Biden will be doing a better job getting the DoJ to review these cases,  and generally investigate problem PDs (of which there seem to be a quite few in Loozianna)

The case of Greene is appalling.   There will not be peace in this nation until we start getting justice for him and others.   The officers response was utterly insane.

 ---Hamas remains as committed as ever to killing Jews. The proximate cause for its aiming to do so now was an astounding display of weakness by the United States.


The facts bear this out. Just five weeks after the Biden administration reopened negotiations with Iran—the patron of Hamas—and announced it would be restoring U.S. aid to the Palestinian Authority, Hamas attacked.---

Not the first.

Not happening. It requires both Oregon's and Idaho's approval, but it also requires congressional approval. And... just imagine what it would start!

Why would Oregon oppose it?

In order to not give into to whiney snowflake assholes who love.democracy and freedom only when it is there side in power?

More like to not lose clout in the House and EC while adding clout to the GOP's House and EC representation.

The singular role that the Palestinians play for their "Arab brethren" (now supported by BLM as fellow "oppressed"), is to continue to play perennial victim in order to advance the common desire to remove Israel from the Middle East.

The cause-->effect in the URL is not borne out by the actual article.  They do not yet know if that CV is what's making people sick or if it just happened to be present in their tissues while they were sick from something else.  It's possible that the new CV is not pathogenic in humans, have to wait and see.

I disagree in part. I have no doubt that the Palestinians are oppressed. My point, and one you touched on and I agree with is that the remainder of the “Arab world” doesn’t care a fig about Palestinians (and never have).

Oregon can't give up Bandon, on the south coast - it's too pretty.  And we know what no-regs conservatives like to do to pretty things.

This sounds a lot like the occasional rumblings in western Nebraska to join Wyoming.  I believe the standard joke in all such cases is, "It will raise the average IQ in both states."

Couple thoughts on that:

The fact that Iran uses Hamas doesn't make ordinary Palestinians at fault for fighting dispossession and oppression.

"Play the victim" implies that Palestinian Arabs are not victimized.  But they are.  Clearly.  Your argument is sort of like saying "When George Floyd stopped breathing, he was just playing the victim."  IOW, your argument is shit. 

Nobody wakes up one morning and says "Hey, I feel pretty badass and mean.  Let's fire some rockets at Israel.  Just to be real dicks!"  Hamas is a result (yes, a bad one) of Israeli oppression and dispossession.  Iran may have supplied the rockets, but Israel's harsh RW policies supplied the rage.
