[It's disgusting how feeble and late this is, but it is an indication of how popular sentiment continues to shift against Israel. 👍 ]

In recent days, a majority of Democratic senators voted for a resolution to bar the sale of assault rifles to Israeli police, a marked change in the party since the start of the military conflict. Their unprecedented rebuke comes as polling shows slipping support for Israel among Democratic voters, signaling the prolonged war has potentially caused permanent damage to the country’s relationship with the Democratic Party.

I've yet to meet a Zionist who actually supports a two state solution; one where Palestine is given full sovereignty, the hundreds of thousands of illegal settlers are forcefully expelled in a massive military operation that would require the global community to contribute soldiers to, and the organs of the Israeli government that deliberately expanded those settlements with the deliberate intention of preventing a two state solution are forcibly dismantled and prosecuted by the international community. Because that's what a two state solution actually entails.

When Zionists say they want a two state solution, they mean a bantustan.
