@N07_7h3_5h0073r@CUJewsIsraelis If Iran and its dupes had promoted "Build a better life" instead of "Destroy Israel Kill Jews" Gaza would be like Singapore today. Instead, billions squandered on death cult nihilism, with all the predictable results.
@tomfriedman This isn’t hypothetical, given Iran’s many militias unified by that mantra.
Until Iranian nihilism is suppressed, there’s little hope for peaceful two-state solutions, or, for that matter, Lebanese autonomy, Yemeni stability, and so forth.
@tomfriedman On the other side, are there Palestinian partner sready to agree to "peace for land"? Hard to imagine, since whoever sits there will have an Iranian hand on their shoulder, whispering, “Destroy Israel, kill the Jews.”
@tomfriedman How does Mr. Friedman envision the negotiating table for Israeli-Palestinian coexistence? On one side will be leaders from a more centrist Israeli government, backed by Americans saying, “Israel has a right to defend itself, but... 'two-state solution'.”
@tomfriedman …if Gaza really was provocation, how is that justification for mob violence? Were Chinese attacked for Tibet, Hong Kong, Taiwan threats, aggression on Philippines, would we be so sanguine?
@tomfriedman …images of the devastation of Gaza without any Israeli plan offering a better way for Jews and Palestinians to live side-by-side. … In decades, any Arab Palestinian and Iranian plans for side by side? Destroy Israel has been goal. How is it Jews fault for no path forward?
@tradcatboy@BillAckman@MIT ...and if everyone interrupted with every point of view over every charged issue? The Institute would be a place devolving to those who could be loudest longest.
@MinhasNajma@BillAckman@MIT But he wasn't interrupting to protest 100+ years of Arab rejection of the right of Jews to live in their homeland. It was the "Free Palestine" folks who intruded and protest Israel trying to fight Hamas, which subjugates fellow Arabs and is committed to killing Jews .
@GrantSmithEllis Amazing all those people out in sympathy for the people in Gaza, subjects of death cult nihilists who are using civilians as human shields as they try to instigate region wide calamity. We can hope and pray that Hamas's reign of terror comes to a swift and total end.
@DoOodi554@DrLoupis@TorahJudaism How about Jews against colonializing and ethnically cleansing Jews? Romans, Persians, Muslims, Crusaders, Ottomans, British, Arab League, and now Hamas and Hezbollah.
Rolling into Independence Day, thanks to all those who have and are standing a watch so the rest of us can be at ease.
