    I find it inexcusable that we don’t use our power to rein in Israel. It’s not only morally repugnant (and I’m staunchly a defender of Israel’s right to exist and anti-Hamas), but it’s also just really shitty in terms of realpolitik.

    There’s no justifiable reason the US can’t strongarm Israel into a two-state solution that guarantees a full pull back from the west bank. What’s Israel going to do, turn on the US? Will never happen.

      The sense of invader is so strong with this guy.

      Everything that doesn’t suit your agenda should be ‘reined in’. Hm, that looks similar to many things in the past, Afghanistan, Iraq, Vietnam, Korea peninsula. What else I wonder, American?
