(4,458 posts)two-state solution, and that includes VP Harris, who campaigned on it, had four point plan which included ceasefire, return of hostages, rebuilding Gaza, and to the negotiating table for a two-state solution.
There was no question where trump stood verses VP Harris.
as for your convenient 70 year time frame, during most of that time the Arab neighbors, along with the PLO refused the UN Partition Resolution based on the British mandate, continuously tried to destroy Israel through multiple wars, and declared through the Khartoum Resolution there would be "No peace with Israel, No negotiation with Israel, and No recognition of Israel.
No peace with Israel, No negotiation with Israel, No recognition of Israel. "The Three Noes", Khartoum Resolution, 1967.
Jimmy Carter started a comprehensive peace process, and that was continued by Bill Clinton using the Oslo accords as the basis, and Clinton had a framework in place when he was leaving office, leaving a continuation of that framework for the next administration to continue. Unfortunately, the republicans won, with the help of Nader and those who pushed the LIE that there was no difference between republicans and Democrats.
The bush administration completely ignored the Clinton Administration's middle east peace progress, trashed canned the Graham/Hart report on al qaeda, and ignored the presidential daily briefings. 9/11 happened, and the entire middle east peace process was put on ICE.
While President Obama tried to move negotiations back toward a framework for a two-state solution, very little happened in that regard, however, he did accomplish a lot in other areas, including a negotiated nuclear agreement with Iran, safeguards to minimize another financial implosion, ACA, American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the raid that got rid of bin Laden, opened Cuban relations, advanced LGBT rights, Lilly Ledbetter act, etc.
Unfortunately, with the help of some of the same actors in 2000, we lost in 2016, the Supreme Court, and almost everything the Obama Administration had accomplished was reversed when trump won in 2016.
and while Democrats regained control in 2020, the damage done by trump was so massive that four years was not enough to reverse it. When Saudi Arabia along with other Arab countries offered a substantive peace plan, that was a major factor which motivated Hamas to do October 7, derail any peace process with Israel, and impacted the 2024 election because of the blind ignorance of some who refused to vote for VP Harris.
So yes, those who refused to vote for VP Harris in 2024 ARE COMPLICIT, not only with what is happening here in the U.S., but also Gaza.
What happened in 2016 wasn't enough for them, they needed to seal it with 2024.
