Democratic socialist politicians like Cori Bush and Rashida Tlaib are right about the violence in Israel and Palestine: we should both be mourning civilian deaths and calling for an end to the Israeli occupation.
It matters because Palestinians have zero leverage. Their choice is either make peace and build a future, or keep fighting a losing battle, and ensure that their children never have a chance.

Israel is thriving.
I hear you, but certainly you can understand how “accept that you’ve lost” may not sit well with some people.
Yes. But it is objective reality.
And the rest of the world would be doing the Palestinians an enormous favor of they told them that in no uncertain terms.
Hm. You have a good point.
This could lead to rebuilding a Palestinian nation in the same fashion as Japan after WW2.
