Carthago delenda est

Israel is getting absolutely pummeled today. Friends send me pictures of hit sites that are not reported. Another Israeli was killed today in Nahariya. Delta canceled all flights until September. The entire country is stunned by the ferocity of the Iranian response.

THOU SHALT NOT MENTION 'PALESTINE" This AM, JTA posted a story w/ the headline: These pro-Palestine PACs are trying to beat AIPAC at its own game At some point, they replaced "Palestine" w/ "Palestinian" [w/o explanation]. You can see the original title in the url (for now)

One candidate in this race is putting the legwork in to earn the support of organized labor. The other is still trafficking in dog whistles and referring to the working class immigrant communities in Sunset Park and Chinatown as the “edge of the district.”

Again, the requirement to withdraw was *only* predicated on the final agreement to the two-state solution. Again, there is no final agreement because your PLO heroes categorically refused to assent to one. And even assuming arguendo that Israel were to annex Area C, their claim to that territory is far superior to that of the PLO because international treaties ranging San Remo to the 1922 Mandate to UN Charter Article 80 all held that those lands were mandated for a future Jewish state. And again, if they annex Area C and grant the Arabs living only in Area C Israeli citizenship, then there would *still* be no apartheid. You’re out of your depth, dude. In fact, you’re letting your emotions get the better of what should be a sound factual and legal analysis (of which you have provided neither facts nor law to your proposition).

🚨 BREAKING: Spain will recognize the State of Palestine, with East Jerusalem as its capital. That’s a major diplomatic shift. Let's see how Israel responds.

Curious how you'd apply this to Liberia
