Israel's 'Two-State Solution' Now Includes 19 More Settlements
Israel's security cabinet approved 19 new settlements in the occupied West Bank, with the UN noting settlement expansion is at its fastest pace since 2017. This isn't just 'expansion'; it's the systematic, illegal confiscation of Palestinian land, a flagrant violation of international law. Figures like AIPAC mega-donor Haim Saban once quipped, “I’m a one-issue guy and my issue is Israel.”
Conveniently, that 'one issue' often translates into unquestioning US support for policies that ensure no viable Palestinian state can ever exist. While US politicians offer 'deep concern,' the funding continues. Senator Lindsey Graham, who received over $200,000 from pro-Israel groups in 2022 alone (OpenSecrets.org), routinely votes for massive aid packages that enable this very territorial
expansion. How many more 'condemnations' will it take before the world recognizes that a 'peace process' under these conditions is merely theater for ongoing occupation?
