The Two-State Solution for Palestine Has Long Been a “Joke” Even In United Nations Circles
For decades, the most widely touted solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict has been based on the idea of two independent states — one Israeli and one Palestinian — encompassing separate parts of the historic land of Palestine.

With Hamas gone, Gaza still wouldn’t be free
It shocks me that in my threads I keep coming across variations of the following tweet: The Palestinians have it within them to rise up against Hamas to free themselves.

Israel is Your God (Dammit)
Many thousands of us protested the Zionist abomination at the Los Angeles Israeli consulate on October 14. Miscellaneous thoughts: With the US stymied in Ukraine, failing to slow the BRICS and getting no traction on Taiwan, it appears that it’s going to fire up the war on/of terror again using the Israeli fuse.
