One of the issues with resolving this conflict is that the Arab world simply does not acknowledge the European "rules" of warfare, such as surrendering and accepting loss of territory when losing an offensive war. Germany lost 25% of its territory to Poland after WWII. We don't call that "occupied Germany."
Further, an unspoken truth is that Jews were perceived as a weak pushover race, and Arab Muslims felt deep humiliation at consistently losing to them in wars, believing that Muslims should be dominant and unchallenged in the region. Many see defeating Israel as necessary for redemption of their people.

El-Sayed’s America
🚨🚨 JUST NOW: Deranged Abdul Supporter tackled a Jewish girl (@basedinmalibu) at free speech event.
She was SWIFTLY arrested, resisted and then said “I SHOULD HAVE KILLED HER!!” As she was loaded into the police vehicle.

Haley Stevens is being called a traitor, but by reversing her endorsement of Abdul El-Sayed, she is showing exactly the kind of courage moderate Democrats once cheered, writes James Kirchick. thefp.com/p/haley-stevens-ab…

Haley Stevens was going to do a Democratic unity rally with Abdul El-Sayed and James Clyburn where she was going to encourage her supporters, many of whom have serious reservations about El-Sayed, to vote for him.
This was very important for El-Sayed, because Stevens is popular among Jewish and black Michigan Democrats and Clyburn is an icon among black voters nationwide. El-Sayed has weakness with both of these groups and needs to shore them up going into election day.
Stevens's condition was that he make an unambiguous, unqualified condemnation of the antisemitic rhetoric his friends, supporters and surrogates have been using, including in ads run in Michigan.
El-Sayed refused to do this, and instead asked Stevens not to appear at the event. At that point, Stevens realized that he was not interested in unity with her or her supporters and that she could no longer support him for Senate.
El-Sayed is an antisemite. He is friends with antisemites Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur. He will not condemn them. He will not condemn the awful things they say.
He has had multiple opportunities to condemn their hateful rhetoric, and he always says: "He is not part of a campaign, nobody speaks for me but me, and I'm not here to talk about that."
That's not good enough. If that is how a Republican talked about Nick Fuentes or Richard Spencer, it would be the biggest controversy in the race. The fact that so many Democrats are willing to tolerate this from Abdul El-Sayed is an indictment of the entire party.
There is no coalition that can include both the Jewish Democratic members of Temple Israel and supporters of the Hezbollah terrorist who tried to murder their preschool children. Abdul El-Sayed made a decision about who he wanted in his tent.
Haley Stevens was late to realize it, but it is admirable that she finally decided to be an upstander instead of a bystander. No Nazis in the US Senate.

For my Jewish Democratic friends feeling boxed in right now - and for every moderate who feels homeless in their own party.
Say it with me:
🔵 I don’t surrender my principles to win an election. My conscience, the Constitution and the rule of law come before any party.
🔵 I don’t have to tolerate hostility inside my own political home just because the other side is worse. I can demand better from both. Everyone should be doing exactly that right now.
🔵 It is normal to be loudest about the hate that wants me, my family or my people gone - whether it comes from the left or the right.
🔵 Nobody can guilt, shame or force me into a vote that makes me or the people I love less safe.
🔵 Nobody can make me believe a lie. Nobody can punish me for refusing.
🔵 My vote is earned through respect and shared values. It is not a ransom paid to keep the other side out.
🔵 Solidarity means standing by my allies, at home and abroad, when it costs me something - not dropping them to pass someone's reactionary, partisan, political purity tests.
🔵 Free nations stand together against the regimes that want them dead. That used to be the center of both parties. It still should be.
🔵 Any party that wants to govern must run candidates who build broad coalitions, not ones who alienate the center and demand obedience.
If you want my vote, earn it.

12 people now indicted in Michigan for a campaign of terror against Jews and anyone tied to Israel.
Jars of noxious chemicals thrown into family homes. Windows smashed. Homes marked with red inverted triangles, the symbol Hamas uses to mark targets for death.
One allegedly threatened to slowly poison a victim once he became a doctor.
Targets: the Jewish Federation of Detroit, UM regents, a campus cop, a student.
This was never a "protest movement." It's Hamas tactics on American streets.

Not gonna lie. I'd like to see both Paxton and El Sayed lose next week. Regardless of what happens in the big picture, I'd love for both parties to lose big, winnable races because they had no shame.

That Abdul El-Sayed has refused every opportunity to make a simple statement condemning a blatantly false and anti-Semitic ad produced on his behalf tells you pretty much everything you need to know about both his arrogance and his utter contempt for Jewish voters.

On 10 January 1992 a container of 28,800 plastic bath toys (yellow ducks, red beavers, blue turtles and green frogs) went overboard from a container ship in a winter storm near the Date Line. Ten months later the first ones washed up near Sitka, Alaska, and oceanographers began using them to study ocean currents.
This video is a drift simulation. 3,000 virtual ducks start at the spill point and drift with the daily surface current, plus about 3% of the wind pushing on the floating toy. The first simulated duck reaches the shore on day 325. The real first finds near Sitka came on day 311. After two years most of the simulated ducks are ashore in British Columbia and southeast Alaska, and a few have reached Washington, Oregon and California.
Current and wind records do not go back to 1992, so the simulation uses the currents and winds of 1995 and 1996, the first years with both on record.

הגזענות נורמלה באופן כ״כ עמוק מאז יום הבחירות ב2015 (״הערבים נעים בכמויות אדירות לקלפי״) שראוי להזכיר: ראש ממשלה לא אמור להזהיר ולהסית נגד אזרחים ישראלים שמממשים את זכותם הדמוקרטית היסודית - להצביע בבחירות.

Your party was literally in government when jihadists carried out the deadliest massacre of Jews ever. That is an extraordinary fact to overlook while lecturing others about defending Jews from jihad. The degree of delusion among your party is staggering.
