History, political science, International relations, international law. I'm a chronically ill policy nerd with broad interests.




The "Hostile Takeover" of Canaan 3,000 years ago was actually a cultural and legal coup by a group of local dissidents. They used "Divine Right" to justify taking the land from their own family members (cause God gave it to them) The "Divine Right" and the "Exodus" weren't about "History". They were a way for a group of local Canaanites to reject the authority of their own kings and start a new society. They used a "Story" to break a "System." The tragedy is that "Story" (the Israelite identity) has now become the "System" used to displace the descendants of those very same people who never left the lands they took over back then.




Fact is @realDonaldTrump has won the war against Iran and hobbled the regime’s capacity to threaten US vital interests. Deal or no deal-he is now setting conditions to ensure this regime if it survives at all is not a serous threat for a long, long time.











Ahem...Biden and Harris pushed for a ceasefire from early Jan 2024. It was delayed and sabotaged by both Israel and Hamas, with Bibi conspiring w/Trump to run out the clock on the '24 election cycle. Folks like you were easily played and Palestinians ended up much worse off.










Qatar mediators have told me that they will not engage in mediation efforts as long as Iran continues to attack GCC countries. Attacks on all GCC countries must cease before they would be willing to consider a role in mediation.

So much about who we are that is expressed in this single image.
