bullshit
And I really don't think my government is too bad, its politicians (more to do with voters than their personal views, aka democracy) can be but actual policy from the state department? I'm not too opposed. We've done more for a two-state solution than any other nation (save for the two parties themselves) I can imagine, laugh all you want but Camp David, Camp David II, Madrid Conference, Annapolis, funding of PA, Many peace talks, under the table pressure on Israel for numerous things all have the US's fingerprints all over it, etc etc. What has BDS done to build a Palestinian state?
When things get boiled down to things like VETO, FUNDING OF WEAPONS, JEWISH MEDIA!!! As if the cause and only reason was the US's support. The actors themselves aren't important, "My government" is (this hits on something that was in the other thread, Israel is sometimes proxy for hatred of ones own government and their foreign policy rather than any deep understanding or perspective on the forces important to the Israeli or Palestinian people, it must be framed in the West-first perspective) Perspective is lost on where things were 50, 40, 30 years ago. And I'm sure you can frame that in a way there hasn't been progress (there still isn't a Palestinian state, thousands keep dying, etc). I'd love for there to have been a two state solution in 1947, but its not going to materialize out of thin air in some magical act of divine or "international law justice", the stakeholders must change.
Where is the future leading to? What kind of solution is imaged or wanted? How are your actions going to get you there? Those are the real questions of justice.
Or are we just doing the score card?
