Ah yes, that bastion of democracy in the Middle East. So glad Team Trump Treason moved our embassy and the US subsidizes them to what $3-$6BB per year.
Ha! Remember Jared Dear Boy was going to deliver peace to the Middle East? Right after Team Trump Treason denuclearized the Korean Peninsula. They’re both going to win Nobels.

I'm equally faithless about both scenarios. Both contain far-too-powerful assholes and a population selfishly going along with what agrees with their views, instead of what makes them honestly progressive. Who will win the race to the bottom?

BREAKING: Israel’s parliament voted to
dissolve itself early Thursday after Netanyahu failed to form a
government ahead of a midnight deadline, despite his Likud party winning
the largest number of seats in April 9 elections. The move prevents
Israel’s president from being able to call on an alternative candidate
to attempt to form a government.
This is a developing story. It will be updated.

How are they feeling with the Saudi’s getting to manufacture US precision guided munitions? Secure in their knowledge that MBS will always be on their side? Nuclear proliferation and precision guidance. Brilliant brilliance in all its brilliancy.
they dont matter... not to the american govt, not to the israeli apartheid govt. the palestinians are expendable. their land is already being stolen, their children are already being dragged out of their beds in the dead of night, theyre already being maimed, killed, separated from their families, their livelihoods, they have no freedom of travel, denied use of certan roads, public transport, fishing zones. settlers burn their crops, kill their livestock, steal their homes, invade their spaces... all under the protection of the IOF. why on earth would the palestinians be given any regard in an israeli-palestinian 'peace' deal???

i just need to say
A planned trip to Israel and the Palestinian territories by Democratic Reps. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota has been halted by Israeli officials.
“The
state of Israel respects the U.S. Congress, as part of the close
alliance, but it is inconceivable that anyone who wishes to harm the
state of Israel will be allowed, even during the visit,” a media
statement from the government read.
The word “harm” appeared to
refer to the congresswomen’s backing for the Boycott, Divestment and
Sanctions, or BDS, movement, which supporters say is a nonviolent effort
to pressure Israel over its actions against the Palestinians. The
Israeli government claims the movement aims to delegitimize the
country.
Israeli authorities had pointed to a 2017 law that
denies visas to BDS supporters. The law has been applied selectively,
according to The Times of Israel, leveraged to deny entry to some students, activists and artists.
Omar
lambasted the move as an “insult to democratic values” and part of a
pattern of anti-Muslim discrimination by the government of Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Trump administration. President
Donald Trump appealed to Israeli officials to bar the congresswomen in a
tweet Thursday, saying allowing them to visit would “show weakness.”
“Trump’s
Muslim ban is what Israel is implementing, this time against two duly
elected members of Congress,” the Minnesota Democrat said in a
statement.
“As a member of the House Committee on Foreign
Affairs, it is my job to conduct oversight of foreign aid from the
United States of America and to legislate on human rights practices
around the world,” she continued. “The irony of the ‘only democracy’ in
the Middle East making such a decision is that it is both an insult to
democratic values and a chilling response to a visit by government
officials from an allied nation.”
Tlaib and Omar, both freshman
lawmakers, have both been critical of Israel for its treatment of
Palestinians and of the influence of the pro-Israel lobby on Capitol
Hill.
Tlaib, the daughter of Palestinian immigrants, had planned the tour for months. The Michigan Democrat told The Intercept last year that she hoped to lead a congressional delegation on a trip that would humanize Palestinians.
She said
the trip was meant to provide a different lens than that of the
biennial tour sponsored by the education arm of the American Israel
Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC, which attracted many first-term
Democrats last week.
Tlaib said she hoped to visit her grandmother in the West Bank village of Beit Ur, which is reportedly difficult to reach
because the main thoroughfare is accessible only to Israeli citizens.
She tweeted a photo of her grandmother after news of the Israeli
government’s decision broke.
“She deserves to live in peace &
with human dignity. I am who I am because of her,” she wrote. “The
decision by Israel to bar her granddaughter, a U.S. congresswoman, is a
sign of weakness [because] the truth of what is happening to
Palestinians is frightening.”
This woman right here is my sity. She deserves to
live in peace & with human dignity. I am who I am because of her.

Netanyahu said in a statement posted to Twitter
that his government would consider a request from Tlaib to visit her
relatives, on humanitarian grounds, “on the condition that she pledges
not to act to promote boycotts against Israel during her visit.”
A
senior White House official on Thursday called reports that the Trump
administration has pressed Israel to deny entry to the lawmakers “not
accurate.”
“The Israeli government can do what it wants,” the official said.
But
minutes later, Trump contradicted his own aide when he tweeted what
amounted to a diplomatic communiqué to the Netanyahu government.
“It
would show great weakness if Israel allowed Rep. Omar and Rep.Tlaib to
visit. They hate Israel & all Jewish people, & there is nothing
that can be said or done to change their minds,” Trump said, then
pivoting to 2020 domestic politics: “Minnesota and Michigan will have a
hard time putting them back in office. They are a disgrace!”

The trip was slated to begin Sunday and run through Aug. 22.
Democrats swiftly condemned the decision by the Israeli government.
In contrast to Trump, Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the move was “a sign of weakness, and beneath the dignity of the great State of Israel.”
Rep. Andy Levin, a
fellow first term Michigan Democrat who voted for a resolution to
condemn BDS in July, called the move “misguided” and politically
motivated.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer,
who led last week’s trip to Israel sponsored by the AIPAC education
arm, said in a statement that he personally lobbied Netanyahu not to bar
Tlaib and Omar because of their political views.
“The decision
of the Israeli government to deny entry to Israel by two members of
Congress is outrageous, regardless of their itinerary or their
views,” the Maryland Democrat said. “I call on the prime minster to
reconsider this decision.”

What a snowflake of a country. Afraid of two American women, duly elected to the house, who exercised their freedom of speech. It’s not like they’re from a country where they lob missiles toward their neighbors and test nuclear weapons in violation of the UN. Or come from a country that poisons it’s political opponents with polonium. Or even a country that drops barrel bombs on their own population. And to be brow beaten by Team Trump Treason, a guy who’s never been in a fight in their life? Weak.

he is going to walk. being alive for 40 years has shown me that the worst people always get away with their crimes.
As long as he loses his power, I don't care if he's in prison or not right now. I hope the focus is on stopping the murderous and xenophobic behaviours first. It's a more important mission than holding him accountable.
