[Video] Democrat leader Chuck Shumer: "Of course we say it's our land, the Torah says it. But they [Palestinians] don't believe in the Torah. So, that's the reason there is not peace." (i.imgur.com)

The background is Blue.

The words are MAGA.

I wonder if there is a term for this.

Israel wants to be a Jewish state, so secular humanism wouldn't be a compatible policy they'd agree to.

I don't think there is a two state solution because of how intertwined the West Bank is.

I don't think there is a one state solution because of how much all the sides hate eachother.

The whole area is a festering wound on the face of our common humanity. We need to administer antibiotic and depose the leaders who spread hate in the area from within and from the outside like Schumer here. "They don't believe in the Torah", why should any book have final say?

Edit: I have no idea why you're getting downvoted. I wish what you were saying was possible. In any sane country it would be reasonable.

I understand that most nations were founded via genocide, but can you imagine feeling any pride on your country whatsoever when the whole world is regularly watching 4K footage of your nation bombing destitute women & children?

Like, goddamn.

Israel is forever cursed by its own cruelty.
