Superb #MustRead -- because whether you like it or not, it's time for a megadose of cold-hearted realpolitik
And when reading @GadiTaub1's piece, you should also keep in mind this: the Middle East is not going to become less messy any time soon
@GadiTaub1 "The “apartheid” argument is still ubiquitous...but it has become something of a ghost: constantly haunting our debates without having any concrete weight... it has lost both its moral and political force, and survives mainly as a form of virtue signaling"
haaretz.com/israel-news/.p…
@GadiTaub1 "it seems there is no point in talking about a “solution” to the conflict. The best we can do, to borrow a term from Micah Goodman’s masterful book “Catch-67,” is to turn a lethal illness into a manageable chronic one by minimizing friction."
haaretz.com/israel-news/.p…
@GadiTaub1 "Nevertheless, moral approbation continues on the left with great gusto as if none of this happened, and it extends from the occupation to autonomy plans"
haaretz.com/israel-news/.p…
@GadiTaub1 "It would seem there is not much moral weight to the idea that we should choose our own death only to save the Palestinians from the consequences of their rejectionism and their turn to murderous terrorism."

How pathetic of Olmert to participate in this -- after all, his far-reaching peace proposals were dismissed by Abbas
jns.org/erekat-olmert-…
Well, back in 2008, even Olmert told Abbas that he wouldn't get an offer like this anymore. Abbas still was proud to say no back then -- and now trying to turn back the clock is pretty pathetic.
And while Olmert now claims he was all the time in contact with Abbas, he said something VERY different in 2013

.@RutgersU prof Noura Erakat is "humbled and hyped" to give a lecture at Gaza's Hamas university. So let's have a look at the group she teamed up with, and at what she said.
Unsurprisingly, the group @RutgersU prof Erakat teamed up with likes the antisemitic cartoonist Carlos Latuff, who's always making very clear that Israel has to be eliminated for a Palestine 'from the river to the sea'
Here the group Rutgers prof Noura Erakat teamed up with spreads some updated medieval antisemitism: Jews poisoning wells is now Israel poisoning Gaza's crops

This piece is written by an Israeli Arab who identifies as Palestinian (as only a minority of Israeli Arabs do), and who hates Israel AND complains that the "Arab betrayal of Palestinians has a long history" haaretz.com/middle-east-ne…
The funny thing is that the Palestinian constitution explicitly says: "The Palestinian people are a part of the Arab and Islamic nations." pcpsr.org/en/node/487
And there's also this: "Half of the Palestinians are Egyptians and the other half are Saudis"

So there are many reasons to look at the 1919 Faisal-Weizmann agreement without the seething contempt shown by @Serajeas-- it could actually have become the basis for peaceful coexistence.

Jungkook is a famous art gallery owner that looks up to an elusive and mysterious painter, Vante. After years of trying to schedule a live paint session, Jungkook finally gets a response back. But when they meet, Jungkook is more stunned by Taehyung than his art.
-will be long

-angst oof 😤

-might cover some heavy topics like depression and suicide but I’ll put warnings before those updates ⚠️

-happy ending 💞
Jeon Jungkook, at age 24, had the textbook definition of a perfect life.

He had studied fine art and business theory in a renowned college abroad and upon returning to Seoul at 22, had invested his savings into procuring art pieces from around the world.

He had worked hard.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.
