Israel is definitely a Hot Topic subject! Is the "Two-State Solution" popular among Conservatives ?
It certainly is for me..but I can't speak for others of course.
As for Ilhan Omar & AOC? I love the idea of progressive young people in the Senate or Congress. They know the history well - probably moreso then you or I and likely since birth with less biases then we all have as older folks.
The more younger to change the status quo, the better as the old stodgy yesteryears people must go eventually. People like Sen. Feinstein (D-Calif) both Pelosi, Sen.Chuck Grassley (Iowa R)
Feinstein keep dropping the ball lately I noticed when she asked questions of the FBI chief. She's not tops in her game any longer, but then again, I'm ALL FOR long overdue "Term Limits" which use to be a popular subject until the money and bribes from lobbyists became the norm in both of the Houses.
That is why I like the fresh & new faces.
Since I only have Uranus in the 11th exalted in an air sign, air house cj. NN and it pulls the weight of my entire chart - I'm a definite Uranian. So is AOC from what I can tell of her. She lost her mom & dad when young, you know. Essentially, she's her own person, her own guide in life. I'd hate to see her resign as she talked about doing a few months ago. That would definitely sadden me as I actually see hope with her kind. The problem is with younger people, we sometimes speak too clearly about our hearts and what we see and upset the status quo because of not having this inner brake.
As for Israel and Omar/AOC? Well, they are young and when we are young we usually are full of higher ideals, and I think they are too. Moreso AOC I think. I truly like her a lot
and what she stands for (mostly from what I've heard of her when she herself does the talking)
That doesn't mean I'd agree all the time with them. But its a beginning. Thats why Bernie Sanders likes working with them and vice versa.
Sen. Sanders also is for a 2 State Solution and probably going back to the 47=48 drawing board and what was originally agreed to on the signed dotted line. But its too late as we know now., they've broken every "treaty" with the Palestinians.
Too bad Arafat did his "Swiss cheese map" and blew that deal. But of course, that's only "in retrospect" of the decades since.
None came back since that was meaningful. Most people here are probably too young to recall Camp David with Jimmy Carter , but this link brings back exactly as it was at least (fast forward)
in 1995:
https://scholarship.richmond.edu/cg...article=1350&context=law-faculty-publications
In September 1995,after months of tense negotiations over what would be Israel’s first significant withdrawal from the West Bank, the Israeli delegation to the Oslo II peace talks unveiled before their Palestinian counterparts the now infamous “Swiss cheese” map. The map was introduced just 24 hours before the agreement was to be signed. When Yasir Arafat saw it, he stormed out of the negotiating room. Uri Savir, Israel’s chief negotiator at the talks,recalls the Palestinian leader’s reaction: Arafat glared at [the map] in silence, then sprang out of his chair and declared it to be an insufferable humiliation. “These are cantons! You want me to accept cantons! You want to destroy me!
What he meant of course, is his people would not trust him any longer and hence, "be destroyed" because of it.
Excellent article and images of the way it was and could have been....
