Israel/Palestine
Related: About this forumThe Death of the Two-State Solution
Another reason to claw-back the Nobel Peace Prize?Washington has finally thrown in the towel on its long, tortured efforts to establish peace between Israel and the Palestinians. You wont find any acknowledgement of this in the official record. Formally, the U.S. still supports a two-state solution to the conflict. But the Obama administrations recent 10-year, $38-billion pledge to renew Israels arsenal of weaponry, while still ostensibly pursuing peace, makes clear just how bankrupt that policy is.
For two decades, Israeli leaders and their neoconservative backers in this country, hell-bent on building and expanding settlements on Palestinian land, have worked to undermine Americas stated efforts and paid no price. Now, with that record weapons package, the U.S. has made it all too clear that they wont have to. Ever.

Given the evidence sighted, and I don't think it is cherry picked, it's not crap but an honest opinion based on fact and statements made by Clinton.
If there is any thing the least bit inflammatory it is the question that I inserted about the Nobel Prize at the beginning.

bi-national state, I'm not so sure I agree with the OP.
There are a lot of assumptions in it, and it doesn't exactly paint HRC in a positive light. Interesting POW, though.

Not to mention some of the articles on this site pointing out "Jewish neocons" as being the problem.
