“Here’s how to end this once and for all: For the Palestinians, you confine them into two separate territories under duress, and for the Israelis, you give them an unlimited supply of weapons and funds. A positive outcome for both sides should come in a matter of days.”
We could just drop a million people from a third nationality in there and see what happens
The scientific method.
Neither Israel nor Palestine will stand before the might of Brazil 2
Nah, they said a million people, not a Brazillion people.
“Off the top of my head? I’d probably concentrate billions of dollars into the hands of a few international defense contractors and I suppose I’d call them Raytheon, Boeing, and Lockheed Martin, and then—gosh, I don’t know—I’d let them dictate U.S. foreign policy through gratuitous lobbying, and—just spitballing here—destabilize and antagonize nearby nations to protect our oil interests while providing unconditional aid to Israel, and then I guess I’d enable those defense companies to indiscriminately bomb the shit out of Gaza, and on top of all that, I guess I’d write a $14.5 billion check to Netanyahu for good measure.”
Holy shit
A genuinely massive portion of Americans support a ceasefire, actually. I dont like this framing that Americans are idiots or think that all of use are liberals who think we are experts on this issue.

Looking for a source on this… CNN? Pivoting right. Data for Progress? I think they were connected to the Biden Admin. Rasmussen - consistent conservative bias. Harvard Caps? I have never heard of this poll before.

The point of the article is not that people want peace, but that people are so out of touch with the problem, and the American role in creating the problem, that they think a ceasefire is a simple and long term solution.
Well one data point I did see was that 15% of Americans think a ceasefire will last.
