Neighboring Arabs no more want to “take back’ Palestinians from Gaza and the West Bank than Europeans want to ‘take back” Jews from Israel. Two populations competing for the same parcel of real estate with no where else to go. And the UN eager to put its thumb on the scale in favor of one population. What could possibly go wrong?

Scatter them to the four winds, but not here. Let their Arab brothers take them in.

I’ll wager that their Arab brothers adjudge them jailbird cousins you do not want to see on your doorstep.

Humanity demands that these awful people playing at being “Palestinians be scattered to the four winds, and their memory erased.

Bauxite @7:40am,

I’m not sure they believe liberal democracy can be imposed on societies. I’m also not sure they believe liberal democracy is preferable.

Mostly I think the Obama camp are anti-Imperialists. “Dreams of my Father.” Obama’s father dreamt of vindication for the immense harm he believed Europeans, especially England, did to his native Africa. They want to punish western governments and remove their influence from African, Asian and South American lands that those western governments colonized.

When that is done Africa, Asia and South America will revert back to the utopian paradises they were prior to 1492.

Despite mountains of evidence to the contrary, some still believe that we are capable of imposing liberal democracy on any society and that it will be the solution to all of their problems

The some are to be found in your imagination and hardly anywhere else. See William Kristol’s remarks on what he expected in Iraq, delivered on NPR in early 2003.

In both countries, the decision was made for reasons of state to remove the extant crew of rulers. An attempt to put both places in the hands of their elected officials was a logical next step, though you might have ginned up some alternatives in Afghanistan. BTW, it wasn’t ‘democracy’ which was the problem in Afghanistan, but the lack of coherent public institutions tout court.
==
While we’re at it, Iraq’s elected officials are still in charge. The civilian death toll from political violence during the calendar year 2023 was 537. On a per capita basis, Iraqi civilians are less in danger than was the civilian population of Ulster during the period running from 1977 to 1999.

Someone Else – They’re not animals. Animals don’t do that to one another, only humans.

On the larger topic – I think there’s a straight line between Biden/Blinken and the Iraq/Afghanistan democracy experiments. Despite mountains of evidence to the contrary, some still believe that we are capable of imposing liberal democracy on any society and that it will be the solution to all of their problems. Wrong and wrong. I still believe that the left’s opposition to W. and post 9/11 wars was opportunistic rather than principled. Biden and Blinken reinforce that belief.

Anyway, I think most Israelis, right and left, realize that the Palestinians don’t want a two state solution and will act accordingly. The American left is too ideologically blinded to figure it out.
