Now on the UN's case about the snafus at his UN speech.

Now back to about the Mideast.

in 2016 and 2024.

You own this for your contribution in 2016, and 2024 by either refusing to vote for VP Harris, or not voting. Not only with the Israeli and Palestinian situation, but giving us the Supreme Court we have today.

6+ million reliably Democratic voters went for Biden, but failed to show up for Harris

Hard to imagine it all about Israel, but who knows

general election.

That was the beginning of this disaster.

As some have pointed out, in 2016 in those swing states Hillary lost everyone by less than 1% while Jill Stein received 1% of the vote in those swing states. It made all the difference, and set the direction of where we are today.

As for the swing states you mention, I remember some talk about her failure to campaign adequately. But I don't know

fighting to stay awake. His "blinks" are longer and l.o.n.g.e.r.....
and, he's just about asleep.

ETA: Keep talking, Bibi. I want to see him fall flat on his face, hitting the podium. Almost there!

I have to leave in 10 minutes.
Oops - he just called Palestinians barbarians - not peace talk afaik.
Did I miss what the "plan" is?

Is there a land grab in the plan?
Modest witdrawl
Demilitarize Gaza
blab blah blah
Gradual withdrawl retain a "security perimeter" for unlimited time
If Hamas rejects plan, the "Israel will finish the job by itself - easy or hard way.

Some reforms not so bad ....
Gaza administered by those committed to genuine peace with Israel .....
Looking for "moderation."
But what does that mean?

What about rebuilding Gaza?
Biblical reference .... blah blah blah

My translation of the duo:

"Many Arab nations, and some Europeans, support this proposal.

If Hamas rejects it, Gaza deserves everything forthcoming."
