Presto

And Netanyahu is clear about his goals. I suppose in your opinion, the Palestinians have to take it lying down? https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/netanyahu-brandishes-map-of-israel-that-includes-west-bank-and-gaza-at-un-speech/

You completely miss my point. How would you define 'their own country'? Of Jews I assume. Jews from all over the world, with different nationalities and for different reasons, emigrate from their own country to Israel. Tens of thousands each year. What is their own country? They definitely have a new country, and as far as I'm concerned within the 67 borders. You have to draw a line somewhere. But that's of course not how it works. With increasing population, Israel needs land. Legal.ir illegal.

How would you define 'their own country'? Thousands and thousands of Jews have emigrated from their own country to Israel, because they could. For instance one of the recently rescued hostages has a dual Russian and Israeli nationality, and had arrived in Israel (reportedly) a year and a half ago.

You do understand the meaning of the English words 'increased discrimination'?

More info for you, about supposed equal rights. https://carnegieendowment.org/posts/2024/02/the-many-civil-and-human-rights-challenges-facing-israels-palestinian-citizens?lang=en&center=global And about freedom of movement. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_freedom_of_movement

Palestinians in Israel have no freedom of movement. Look it up. More info: https://carnegieendowment.org/posts/2024/02/the-many-civil-and-human-rights-challenges-facing-israels-palestinian-citizens?lang=en&center=global

You should dive quite a bit deeper. Many Palestinians living in Israel don't have equal rights.

Sure, I have those fever dreams too, sometimes. A far better solution would be one state. A state where Israelis and Palestinians would live together, with equal rights, in a true democracy. Not going to happen.

Typical American duplicity. An arrest warrant by ICJ for Putin is perfectly fine, an arrest warrant for Netanyahu leads to (threats of) American sanctions against the ICJ. Some senator made it clear: ICJ arrest warrants are for African dictators and thugs like Putin. Not for leaders of western democracies.

It will only happen if America forces Israel to go that route. There is absolutely no sign that that will happen this century. On the contrary, Biden is allowing illegal settlements, is allowing the violence of the illegal settlers against Palestinian farmers. There's no other conclusion than that Biden is also a supporter of ethnic cleansing. And the babbling about a two state solution, by Schumer, Biden or Blinken, is just that, babbling.

It's not a moral stand, it's a realistic stand. How do you think the parents, family, of Hind Rajab feel about Israel?

The solution would be for Israel to go back to the pre-67 borders, and abandon all illegal settlements on the West Bank. But that will never happen.

Sorry, you're just parroting Israel's and IDF propaganda. But that's ok. After reading your post more carefully, you definitely are a proponent of Israel's ethnic cleansing and expanding their military suppression from the West Bank to Gaza, whatever is left of it. You support Israel's dehumanizing of Palestinians, followed by endless wat crimes. Good luck with that attitude.

As are the various spokes persons like Jake Sullivan and Matthew Miller. One has to wonder how much of a liar Biden is.

Ok, you just don't get it. Hamas is an organization, yes. At the moment they are the ones to negotiate with. But Hamas is also a way for Palestinians to find an outlet for their frustration of being oppressed for decades. It doesn't matter if you agree with that feeling, it doesn't matter if I agree with that feeling. Israel has been bombing the sh*t out of Gaza with supposedly the goal of eliminating Hamas. Obviously that hasn't worked after eight months, which is a little embarrassing. If Hamas disappears from the scene, hypothetically, some other organization will come, with maybe similar goals as Hamas, or maybe different. What will remain is a feeling, and the will, of resistance against a violent and racist oppressor.

To me it doesn't matter who defies a Congressional subpoena. What matters is, what is it worth, if most give you the middle finger or delay the process for years. As politics go in America, every two years the flags are changed in the House, so a bit of delay always works, if DoJ doesn't cooperate and hands it over to the courts, for whatever reason. The Jan6 committee subpoenaed Bannon, Navarro, Meadows, Clark, Scavino. DoJ only prosecuted Bannon and Navarro. Why? DoJ, or maybe more accurate, Special Counsel Smith chose to only investigate and indict Trump, because of speed. Well, we now know how that will end. Special Counsel or DoJ thought it best to let Bannon, Navarro, Eastman, Meadows, Clark, Flynn, etc, etc., off the hook. All members of Congress are supposedly out of bounds for DoJ, with the exception of rep Perry, whose phone has been confiscated. And that's it. We're almost four years after the failed coup, and there's nothing tangible to show that any of the plotters face consequences. Yes, two guys four months in jail (possibly?) for contempt of Congress. A bit embarrassing I'd say.

What I've learned in the past three years, is that Congressional subpoenas, and referrals to the DOJ, have no meaning. Better stop with wasting time is my advice.

Why isn't Bannon investigated and prosecuted by the Garland DOJ for his role in the attempt to overthrow democracy? Remember the war room in the Willard Hotel?

You lack the capacity to view an interview and make up your own mind? Instead you resort to throwing childish badly spelled quasi insults around? How unfortunate. For you.

Fine with me. Messing with a presidential election for your own advantage seems serious enough to me to dig up the appropriate laws, even if used rarely. I'd rather see Trump behind for his role in the Jan6 insurrection and his theft of classified documents, but Garland efficiently ran those cases into the ditch.

Alvin Bragg and his colleagues did a very professional job in this case. I didn't expect a guilty on all 34 counts. But who am I. Considering their handling of the case so far, and the professionalism of the judge, I don't give an appeal much chance.

John Cain? Are you American?

Who is John Cain? Isn't that a name from an old movie? The Caine Mutiny?

If convictions work out so well for Trump, financially, why doesn't he let the other handful of criminal trials go ahead ASAP, instead of delaying? A couple of convictions more, and he might finally become the rich man he pretends he is!

You do realize that Trump needs all that money just to pay off his lawyers, don't you? He will finance his campaign all with his own money, because he's a very very very rich man. At least that's what he told us in 2016.
