If America’s leaders prioritized the lives of all those who live between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, it would become clear that asking if Israel has a right to exist is the wrong question.
When Palestinians resist oppression in ethical ways — by calling for boycotts, sanctions and the application of international law — the U.S. allies work to ensure those efforts fail, which convinces Palestinians that ethical resistance doesn’t work

The Netanyahu government has already deliberately, systematically and effectively eliminated the two-state solution.
