Pope Discovers Two-State Solution, US Congress Still Funded By One
The New Arab reports Pope Leo's assertion of a Palestinian state as the 'only solution' to the Israeli conflict. This sage advice echoes every rational diplomat for decades. Yet, in Washington, Senator Chuck Schumer, who has received over $450,000 from pro-Israel groups, including AIPAC, since 1990 (OpenSecrets.org), declared Hamas's destruction (not a two-state solution) as his top priority just
months ago. Funny how divine wisdom struggles against earthly donations. While the Vatican offers moral clarity often ignored, the U.S. narrative continues to prioritize one side. We're told the Pope's view is 'news,' but the fact that congressional leaders like Schumer consistently align with AIPAC's agenda, often diverging from international consensus on a two-state solution, is apparently just
'bipartisan support.' How many "only solutions" does it take for America's leaders to actually pursue one, instead of funding endless conflict?
