    It could be the headline writer to blame, but I’d like to recommend that these people stop making “demands” of the only party in our two-party system that recognizes them as human, and start working with them to make incremental improvements. It won’t get fixed overnight, let’s not pretend it can be fixed by making “demands”.

    I understand it’s not their fault that our two-party system is as fucked up as it is. But, for all practical purposes, there are only two sides to choose from here, and one side wants to pave over Gaza and build resorts there. Gazans will be shipped out by the bus load, and the only ones allowed to stay will cater to wealthy Americans and Israelis. People who advocate for Palestinians, but refuse to work with Democrats, will be just as culpable in that outcome as the current US Administration who is deporting anyone they can who says publically that Palestinians are humans who have the same inherent rights as any other human.
