At least you disclosed the funding which is more than the others did. I’m sorry to be so harsh about who funded your trip Brian. At least you disclosed the funding which is more than the others did.

Isn't it true, however, that, just for kicks, Israel ran that gay pride parade through the Palestinian neighborhoods? So clever, those Israelis. Killing two birds with one stone-getting their gay pride message out and marching through the Palestinian neighborhoods like hooligans to cause maximum humilitation.

Anyone who favors a two state solution should attempt to draw a map connecting the West Bank and Gaza and dividing East and West Jerusalem to the satisfaction of both Israel and Palestine. It can't be done without creating a map so Gerrymandered the countries created would have no hope of successfully functioning. Under a one state solution formed like a confederation you would have courts to settle the property disputes legally and in the interest of all parties without discrimination. Call it the Holy Land States Confederation made up of Israel and Palestine with common citizenship and security organizations. I think your talks with Mr. Harel and Erekat highlight that perfectly.
