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
thetower.org/exclusive-olme…
Olmert in 2013: "Abu Mazen is not a big hero. They were afraid. Erekat was worried. In the end they thought that maybe after the American elections they would get more from President Obama.”

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"

.@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.

@IlhanMN Thread: While many of us desperately want a two state solution, your support of BDS & one-sided condemnation is an impediment to a two state, peaceful solution.

BDS founder & leader, Omar Barghouti openly and vocally opposes two-state solution. /
@IlhanMN He supports a 1state solution where Israel will be replaced by a Palestinian state encompassing all of what is now Israel &the Palestinian territories.

“Definitely, most definitely, we oppose a Jewish state in any part of Palestine” (he considers all of Israel Palestine)
@IlhanMN He rejects the idea of a binational state, stating that "the binational model assumes that there are two nations with equal and competing moral claims to the land, and therefore we have to accommodate both national rights." /

#Bill207 Abandoning Patients Act has far reaching effects beyond health care. Beyond abortion.
change.org/p/alberta-legi…
The “right” to deny care is extended to ALL regulated health professions, including doctors, pharmacists, registered nurses, nurse practitioners, midwives, social workers, and many others.
Patient referrals are defined as a health care service that can be denied, both formal and informal referrals.

This is **new***

A referral is a Patient's right!!!

I am a university professor & researcher specializing in the links between the environment, violence, and security. I endorse @AOC/@SenMarkey's #GreenNewDeal as realistic, necessary, and perhaps the most important policy proposal this country has seen in its history. Here’s why:
Decades of research from academia, civil society, and militaries around the world—including foremost the U.S. military—have developed a robust case about the multiplying problems, instabilities, and crises that are already resulting due to #climatechange.
Virtually all of the major problems contemporary security studies are multiplied and exacerbated by the effects of climate change: warmer temperatures are linked to drought, world food prices, worsening poverty, political instability, conflict, mass migration, and so much more.

1/12 Trump dissolved his voter fraud commission today. In its 6 months of existence, the commission accomplished basically nothing but caused a lot of controversy. I’ve been covering it from the beginning — let’s review it from start to finish.
2/ Trump formed the commission in March, after spending the start of his presidency asserting with no evidence that millions of people voted illegally. propublica.org/article/theres…
3/ The commission’s first action was in June, when it requested substantial amounts of voter information from every state. propublica.org/article/presid…
