Knesset Votes Overwhelmingly Against Palestinian Statehood

Saturday, July 20, 2024

A two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been US policy for decades, but absent negotiations between the two sides, and a lack of sustained effort by the US to make it happen, means faith in such an outcome has dwindled.

They need the Lebensraum.

If there ever was at this late date any sort of middle ground in Palestinian politics, this is probably its coup de grace: sweeping away the middle ground to fuel the forever war.

Trump will pay them to finish it. The Palestinians are going to be Annihilated.

Censored must be rubbing one out about now.

Trump may be going to build the new 3rd Temple in Jerusalem after he finishes the Trump Hotel in Dubai.

They love him there; he's on a Temple coin:

And then, if he loses this election, or if he wins, then when he leaves Office... Trump might even get elected PM somehow.

"Scoop: Netanyahu works behind the scenes to win Trump back

Years of efforts by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to mend relations with former President Trump may have shown some progress in the wake of the assassination attempt against Trump.

The big picture: Netanyahu allies have met with Trump on at least four occasions over the past three years to try to repair ties, which deteriorated after Netanyahu congratulated Biden for his victory in the 2020 election.

One went so far as to bring a copy of Netanyahu's book to Mar-a-Lago and read passages praising Trump, according to a Netanyahu aide.

"But every time we thought we managed to put this behind us we discovered that it didn't work and that Trump was still angry," the aide told Axios

Why it matters: Netanyahu aides worry relations won't be as close if Trump wins in November as they were during his first term.

They were encouraged, however, that after Netanyahu sent Trump a video condemning Saturday's assassination attempt, Trump posted it on Truth Social."

As I've said before, two state or one state solution doesn't matter. But Israel CANNOT be allowed to continue with apartheid and genocide.

Either two state or Palestinians get FULL Israeli citizenship and their own right to return.
