President Carter's greatest wish was to facilitate peace in this part of the world. He did what he could, accomplished what no one had before. Every president since 1948 has addressed this conflict - until George W Bush - and it's been on the back burner ever since. However, when John Kerry became Secretary of State for Obama, he began his service with a meeting with President Carter and promised to do what he could.

They say it's our right to a homeland
yet some in the homeland regained (actual Jewish people) want the same peace for Palestine.


What is the West Bank, Gaza, Israel proper.

Who are the settlers, do you build a wall - is that the best way to go???


Well, I guess they did.

A lot of things countries do that they think makes them safer in the end -

to what end?


What's wrong with the Middle East. I have some good Bros from the ME,
people who are cool, smart, honest, people I trust who are from all over the ME,
Palestine, Syria, Iran, Iraq - I am sure there are cool people in Saudi Arabia,
I just don't have any friends from there, maybe it is because I am not that rich...


Wait, that sounds bad.
I guess I'm just not too happy with MBS
- as in who murdered Jamal Khashoggi.

Who later bought off G. Kushner, AKA,
Trumps son-in-law.

And hey, the US state department is upset

seeing the link between Autoritarian satire these days.

First, we take over Hungary,
No sir, first we create more massive chaos in Syria

Egypt is fucked - is it Muslim brotherhood or Militarial rule /
Hell - they did go far by marching in the streets /
considering...

Ha ---
Oh and I remember US generals saying it is a quagmire,
that without ever admitting the US government helped.
