Rep. Adam Schiff on why Israel looked worse than Afghanistan in 2019: “It looked like Israel was heading into a terrible cul de sac and it was incapable of getting off the path that it was  on.”

Nancy Pelosi leads a Disneyland tour of Israel with congressional Democrats, embraces the rightwing prime minister, and gets a tour of apartheid Jerusalem from an Israeli not from the Palestinians who are being thrown out of their homes there. But of course they all call for a two-state solution when anyone visiting the land sees that there’s just one state. The Dems are carrying on a lie as big as Trump’s big lie — there will never be a two state solution and everyone knows it, but the Democrats have to keep the Israel lobby happy.

One of the disgusting features of the U.S. effort to provoke conflict with Iran is the widespread use of the euphemism “take him out” instead of “kill” or “assassinate” to characterize the death of General Qasem Soleimani.
