You'll need to read histories written by both Israelis and Palestinians. They generally can't hear the truth of the other. I'm on a writing deadline now, but I'll try to get back to you on some titles when I get to the right shelf at my office. Start with Shipler, "Arab and Jew: Wounded Spirits."

...in full. You got the same thing as everyone does. And now, because you can't address yourself to the specific reality of the cost to actual Palestinians of not supporting Biden and allowing Trump to prevail -- I'm content to block.
You love rhetoric. Reality oppresses, clearlu.

...over Gaza regardless.
5) A prohibition by the U.S. against supplying Israel with ordnance that was deemed too destructive to utilize in a confined urban war zone.
Trump has abandoned all five and called for a beachfront resort and removing Gazans. Congrats on being unable to focus.
I engaged you.

1) Walk the U.S. away from commitment to Palestinian nationhood, a return to the negotiating table and a two-state solution.
2) Direct involvement of the U.S. in an attempt to secure a cease fire and have the hostages released.
3) Sanctions against West Bank settlers.
4) Palestinian soveregnity...

...this entire thread by remarking on the fact that I was willing to engage someone regardless of their followers or lack thereof. Please note that I have done so with you repeatedly, regardless of the fact that you won't deal with the fact that what Biden did not attempt to do was....

My contempt for Netanyahu, his coalition, the prosecution of this war and the exorbitant cost to civilian Palestinian life has been evidenced in full. Up to and including their prosecution in The Hague. Biden had limited options once Hamas attacked an ally and murdered 1200.

But, you began...

What did those resolutions include with regard to the return of kidnapped and later slain civilians? Shell and reality is in the details of what is possible with Hamas undertaking this horror as they did. But now Trump has fled negotiations for ceasefire. So big win for your team.

First of all, the use of the blogpost here is to show the slope down which we have long been slipping. A bad thing leads to worse.

Second, do you think police violence is not distributed disproportionately on people of color. And that anonymity after the fact doesn't harm
them in equal measure?

I'm egalitarian in my contempt.

If your raw stupidity ended up costing the Palestinian people and their aspirations for nationhood on a small scale, it's still raw stupidity.

Eat a bag of stale dicks. The Republicans achieved power to legitimize the complete abandonment of Palestinian nationhood and the complete devastation of Gaza. And morons like you helped.

We are now genuinely at the point where claims like genocide might apply and where an American president is walking away from ceasefire negotiationsurging Netanyahu to "finish the job." As opposed to an administration actively working for a ceasefire and decrying the human cost of the war.
Moron.

omitting the "brutal" to highlight the "indifferent" exclusively is not a reveal of any dishonesty on my part, but of your own.

The only comparable horror might be the Loeb & Leopold thrill killing in Chicago, wherein two collegiate sociopaths decided to kill one's teenage cousin to simply see if they could get away with it. Only the most brilliant, moving closing argument by Clarence Darrow spared them the death penalty.

Plenty of secular folks on either side entrapped by the extremists.

Rabin's murder still echoes.

You didn't fuck off. I asked nicely.

Blocked.

We won't wait long for a Deputy U.S. Attorney to declare he has debriefed an incarcerated procurer of children and that she is now stating that the one man who can pardon her and reduce her sentence is innocent of fucking children.

Trump thinks the American people are stupid. He's usually right.

Now fuck off and don't bother me again. You're useless to any possible end to this horror and a waste of my time.

I want Hamas gone from this narrative. And Netanyahu, his coaltions, the West Bank settlements as well. I want a return to negotiations for a Palestinian state on the West Bank and Gaza. I want peace. Embracing Hamas and its kind as freedom fighters is a knife in all that. You enable more blood.

...and every half-formed, half-educated opinion on the internet, like yourself, wants to take sides. Congrats. You've ennobled the people who came out of Gaza and murdered 1200 people to begin a war that they could not win. Because you want that side. You're part of the problem, precisely.

...the rights and humanity of the other. When Arabs have had the upper hand, they have been undertaken to destroy Jewish life and any notion of Jewish life in the Levant, and when Jews have had the upper hand, they have been brutal and indifferent to the suffering and aspirations of Palestine...

No, you simple asshole. Both-sidesing this is exactly what every shitheel on either end of spectrum refuses to do -- and that is what has produced the tragedy. If you know the history, you know that Arab and Jew alike has at various points resisted every opportunity to assess...

Hamas as Nat Turner. What's next, the Mufti of Jerusalem as Frederick Douglass?

I'm really tired of internet wonders who have no fucking clue about the 100-year tragedy of the Levant and why both sides are entirely an fully complicit in it. Hamas is vile. GTFOH.

Ok. It did not scan that way, but rather the opposite.

I honestly don't take your meaning, if you have one.

Make it adhere to the Bill of Rights. We'll need the U.S. Supreme Court to help. So, gulp.

The power to legally detain anyone iand deny them their freedom in the name of the state is, in this republic, limited to law officers operating under explicit constitutional guarantees. They are indeed in a role of law enforcement here.

Yup.

Non sequitur. But nice try force-feeding an anti-gun control message into a basic treatise about public accountability and authoritarianism.

When your only favored tool is a hammer....

Yes, an astonishing collapse of law-enforcement integrity and judicial credibility.
