Mostly on Israel-Palestine + a bit of US politics. Applaud conversation & nuance. Shun snark, dogma, slogans. Head of @confederationip. Views here - mine alone.

A rambling 🧵: When the UN General Assembly called for a "Jewish state" and an "Arab state" in 1947, it consulted with both national movements, but didn't request the permission of either. Neither was granted a veto over the other's national rights. 2/ This needs to be the case today. Israel's gov't is purposely conflating 2 related, but not identical, things: 1) Recognition in principle of Palestinian rights to self-determination and statehood; and 2) the exact nature of the future settlement between Israel and Palestine.

The core of the problem isn't Smotrich and Ben-Gvir; it's Netanyahu's ruling party. So a 🧵of sh*t that Likud MKs are saying about Gaza and the Palestinians:
1. Likud MK Moshe Saada: "It is clear that all the Gazans need to be destroyed" haaretz.com/israel-news/20… 2. Deputy Knesset Speaker and Likud MK Nissim Vaturi said that Israel had to "no less than burn Gaza". "Who's left in Gaza? Are there citizens? There are only tunnels, Hamas, and accursed terrorists. We have to crush Gaza, Gaza is Hamas." jpost.com/israel-news/po…

Before folks start to go gaga re Bahrain-Israel announcement, short thread of historical reminders for context:

2. Bahrain was publicly hosting Yossi Sarid, Israel's Environment Minister, for the Working Group on the Environment, part of the multilateral peace process that was launched at the Madrid Conference in 1991. jewishvirtuallibrary.org/multilateral-w…

1/ I sat through the 15 minutes of @jdgreenblatt45 at UNSC because it's best to listen to the original. A few thoughts. First: Greenblatt's entire purpose is to create parity for Israeli and Palestinian claims, e.g. "some call it WB, some Judea & Samaria" @jdgreenblatt45 2/ Similarly, Greenblatt seeks to undermine any application of international law to the OTs in order to make it a non-factor. He even blasts those who use the word ("weaponize the word") Occupation.
