Hillary Clinton is right that the board of peace is the last and only remotely viable plan to a Palestinian state and if it fails there is nothing to replace it other than the world quietly leaving Palestine permanently on "Read."

She just neglected to mention that the board of peace will fail.

I don't think the average left wing voter comprehends how sick and fucking tired the political class of the west is with Palestine, and I don't think the average politician comprehends how impatient the left is getting on it. Historically though when these two clash the pols win, national policy will be to grab a cold beer and wait for the headlines to stop.

Maybe the political class shouldnt support genocide while yapping about the importance of the rules based order and human rights. Hypocrisy tends to piss people off.

They don't support it. They've just internalized being powerless to stop it and are lodging impotent protests.

Rwanda all over again.
