Hey Palestinians:

You keep whining about how the #AbrahamAccords ignore you.

That's wrong.

It treats you exactly how you deserve - as an entity that has, through your own actions and rejectionism, made your cause irrelevant.

1/
You could have been the ones on the White House lawn signing a genuine warm peace with Israel, multiple times, since 2000.

2/
Instead, you chose to adhere to your "principles" of destroying the Jewish state - through terror, through alliances with the worst human rights abusing states, through demographics of "return."

3/
Israel's desire for peace with Palestinians is no less than its desire for peace with the rest of the Arab world. It tried since 1993. You guys chose differently.

4/
You've had since 1993 to change your people's perception of Israel. Instead, you chose to teach your children hate.
5/
It took only two weeks for the UAE to change their textbooks to accept and embrace Israel as part of the Middle East - but your media and schools still teach that Jews are the usurping outsiders who will ultimately be banished.

6/
Your revered leader Arafat was a terrorist who never changed, as the second intifada proved. Your quasi leader Abbas may reject outright terror but when given a choice of aligning with Israel or Hamas, he always chooses Hamas.

7/
What message have you been telling Israel for 27 years?

8/
You cry that the Gulf Arabs are stabbing you in the back. Yet they gave you billions of dollars and full support for decades.

9/
Instead of building a state and trying to make peace, you chose to make terrorists into heroes and to outsource the institutions of the state to European NGOs. You chose to join international conventions for the single-minded purpose of vilifying Israel.

10/
Your choice to stick with your genocidal principles is what brought us to this day. You have squandered chance after chance for a state and for peace.
11/
Israelis would have been just as enthusiastic about peace with a Palestinian state as they are about peace with any Arab state. And you know this.

12/
Even now, you refuse to take responsibility for your choices and you are now calling the UAE and Bahrain traitors. No - you are the traitors to the Arab nation by trying to hijack their agenda to be your own.

13/
You could have had a state 20 years ago. You said no. The Arab world tried very hard to show you the folly of your decision. You stubbornly remained blind and deaf to what your brothers told you.

Time's up.

1/ Sam Harris asked a simple question: What would each side in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict do if it had the power to do whatever it wanted? If Hamas had that power, it would carry out a genuine genocide, a project it has announced repeatedly and acted on when it could. (If the PA had it, they would put all the Jews on ships to Europe.) If Israel had it, there would be peace.
2/ He said this is the only important question, because both sides have different interpretations of the past and litigating that is a waste of time. And this is why he refuses to debate Israel-haters.
3/ @PeterBeinart responded, and as he normally does, he avoided the question and then did exactly what Harris said was a waste of time: relitigating the past.

My essay points out Beinart's deceptions and methods, with a healthy dose of facts that he does not want anyone to notice.

1/ Here is yet another case of @Amnesty literally making things up when it comes to Israel.
2/ It issued a press release on a report by the NGO @HelpAge about the (very real) problems older Gazans have in wartime.

But it claimed HelpAge said things it did not say.
@HelpAge 3/ While HelpAge's methodology was problematic, particularly how it selected who to interview, the report is honest about it. it includes appropriate caveats.

Amnesty throws all that out the window.

For example:

I haven't been writing much about the Iran situation because there are so few facts. No one knows what's going on, everyone is guessing, everyone is frustrated, analysts are filling the gaps with their own politics.

But I have my own guess as to whats' happening that fits the facts we do know.
1/
Trump is running hot and cold between being a warmonger and wanting a ceasefire. Netanyahu seems to be supporting Trump. The conventional wisdom is that time is on Iran's side, and every delay by Trump is a victory for the IRGC and the hardliners. What is really going on?
2/
Israel has incredibly good intelligence of what's going on in Iran. We must assume that this includes inside the supposedly impenetrable IRGC. If anyone knows the situation on the ground in Iran, it is Israel.

This is the key to understand what is happening.

1/Every negative news story about how hard the Iran war is actually proves why it had to be fought — and why we nearly waited too long.Image
2/U.S. intelligence says the war hasn't changed Iran's nuclear timeline. Iran still has its highly enriched uranium stockpile, buried in tunnels American munitions can't penetrate.
Critics say: proof the war is failing.
The correct reading: proof of what a decade of delay costs.
3/Israel and the US still can't produce interceptors nearly as fast as Iran produces ballistic missiles. Iran fired ~650 ground-to-ground missiles in 40 days of fighting. The 4 week ceasefire wasn't close to enough to replenish stocks. That's a time bomb that only gets worse.

In April, based on the Lebanese Ministry of Health's numbers, I wrote that roughly 80% of Lebanese deaths in the current war were adult males — far above their approximately 37% share of the population.

That by itself is improbable if Israel is bombing and destroying indiscriminately, the way the media likes to imply.

But it turns out those incredible numbers are not even close to the reality.
1/Image
Their latest infographic shows that there have been 2,679 deaths, of which 2,459 are adult males - which is 91.8%.

Comparing the April 17 and May 3 numbers, we see the number of women killed and injured has gone down, not up, meaning that they ministry was classifying some people wrongly.

91.8% males is very impressive. But even that is an undercount!

2/Image
When we look at the small print in the infographic, we see that the Health Ministry, against all international standards, is counting 18 year olds as "children."

A back of the envelope calculation estimates that between 50-100 of the "children" killed were really 18 years old. So the percentage of adult males may be in the 93-95% range.

The Manhattan Institute did a survey of Democrats (registered voters plus Kamala Harris voters.) It asked about antisemitism, and the answers show that Jew-hatred is becoming normalized in the Democratic Party.
1/
4% of Democrats describe themselves as openly antisemitic. Among voers 18-29, the percentage increases to 8% - one in twelve young Democrats aren't just "anti-Zionist" but literally hate Jews. (The correlation with antizionism is undeniable now.)
But that's not the worst part.
2/
When asked whether they think antisemites should be unwelcome in the party, less than half - 44% - said that hating Jews should disqualify someone from being a member.

Imagine if the same question was asked about racists.
