OPINION
The Missed Chance for Peace
Oct. 12, 2023

By David Brooks

Throughout this horrible week, my mind has repeatedly flashed back to Dec. 23, 2000. That was the day the Palestinians were offered a path to having their own nation on roughly 95 percent of the land in the West Bank and 100 percent of the land in the Gaza Strip. Under that outline, Israel would also swap some of its own land to compensate the Palestinians in exchange for maintaining 80 percent of its settler presence in the West Bank.

The Palestinians would control, in President Bill Clinton’s formulation, “Arab areas” of East Jerusalem. And on the most sensitive religious sites, there would have been divided sovereignty or jurisdiction, with Palestinians controlling the Haram al-Sharif (including the Aqsa and Dome of the Rock mosques) and Israel controlling the Western Wall and the holy space of which it is a part.

I'm really tired of people reporting posts about freeing Palestine and calling for a ceasefire and end to the genocide.

Israel does not equal all Jewish people, especially those in the diaspora. There are millions of Jewish people who march FOR Palestine because they take the phrase "Never Again" seriously. It's harmful to equate Israeli government and military with all Jewish people. Stop it.

We must fight to END ALL genocides regardless of who perpetuates it. Thanks.

But if you're the lady who babbles about "Jewish space lasers," maybe not so much.

Sometimes you realize that you're seeing the same view that others have seen, hundreds of years earlier.

“Let me get this straight. After wailing and moaning for ten months about Hunter Biden and alluding to some vast unproven family conspiracy, after sending Hunter Biden a subpoena to appear and testify, Chairman Comer and the Oversight Republicans now reject his offer to appear before the full Committee and the eyes of the world and to answer any questions that they pose?" - Rep. Jamie Raskin, ranking member of the Committee on Oversight and Accountability

Great quote...

#HunterBiden’s lawyers have told the House Oversight Committee that the president’s son is willing to testify on December 13 in their inquiry into his actions — but only if he can do so publicly

Lmao honestly if male #Zennials wanna head down the Andrew Tate / Joe Rogan route en masse, that'll probably serve as a reasonable population control...
