48. The illegality

Wed Apr 6, 2016, 01:13 PM

Apr 2016

of permanent territorial conquest is the cornerstone of international law, which is why no country recognizes Israeli occupation of the West Bank or of East Jerusalem, including the US. Support for the second conquest of Canaan is on the wane. It is beginning with the young and better educated. It will work its way through society soon enough unless Israeli colonialism changes. "The rest of the world can go fuck itself" arrogance will continue only so long as the US remains Zionism's bull-boy. It is exactly the kind of ethno-supremnacist bullshit that is costing Israel support in the US despite all efforts to reverse the trend.

Read it and weep. The handwriting is on the wall.
