Sorry but you can't be driven to terrorism. And the whole electing leftwing governments has already been tried, with the result that terrorism is still a thing. And at some point the Palestinians who are not citizens of Israel and who live in Gaza in the West Bank have to collectively decide that pursuing a state is worth more then this anticolonial conflict. Because neither Palestinians or Israelis, including the Arab ones, have anywhere to go. And I don not see a single person on the left taking the position that yes the Palestinians absolutely have a right to self-determination but their leadership has made tons of bad choices and it needs to be pressured to not continue making bad choices. And blaming Israel for everything isn't that.

@dukepaaron Also I do not recall any other nation being required by the rest of the worl to put up with what Israel is being asked to put up with, and if October 7 happened literally anywhere else 98% of the people currently scolding Israel and the Jews would be silent. And if the rest of the left wants anyone to take it seriously then it needs to quit applying the double standards to Israel because at this point even people who would normally ally with the left have had enough of the holier than thou complex.

@noalevi I don't agree with Bibi's stand on an eventual two-state solution, and I completely agree with Bibi's position on Hamas. They cannot be allowed to maintain a foothold anywhere.

@bryansmart Man this sucks and I hope she raises everything she needs.

@jmb Oh God don't remind me.

@jmb God damn it I remember when this fucking song came out and I lived in the south at the time so yeah everybody was basting this thing.

@jmb OK I'll admit I forgot about that line.

@jmb Nope definitely not.
