I'm not sure that ANYONE (except maybe zionists) is particularly enjoying "hearing " about this. What Van Hollen has said hear is thoroughly aligned with the facts of history. Like it or not, this independent video clip has been viewed by almost half a million people... That doesn't account for the televised broadcast, which I'm sure far exceeds this number of views...

      The Arabs have always rejected two states in western Palestine. In 1947, the UN voted for partition. The Jews declared their state. The Arab countries invaded. We have seen how unpeaceful the two post-Oslo Arab mini-states are. After 75 years, the Israelis are tired of this charade. By the way, Jordan (eastern Palestine) was carved out of Mandatory Palestine in 1922 and is Palestinian in all but name.

      If you read Hamas's and the PLO's Charter you see that the Palestinians (official) are NOT interested in Israel's existence never mind living beside a Jewish state (Israel).
      True, Netanyahu isn't helping create a respectful and peaceful relationship with the Palestinians.
      Unlike Gaza and the West Bank, Israel holds frequent elections so Netanyahu can be voted out of office. There haven't been Palestinian elections since 2006!

It is an unfortunate choice but yours to make . If you vote neither for Trump to Biden , it is a silly act. But for me as Norwegian it may be good as it weakens US. Or maybe it is not.

      What I'm about to say by no means takes Biden off the hook for his complicity in Israels genocidal ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people. However I feel an obligation to point out that that would be the mistake of giving a vote for Trump by extension. We can deal with Biden by voting down ballot progressives into office at every level of government. Together we can force the issue of the United States and Israel. Surely you understand the extensential threat risk to our country and the Constitution, of allowing Trump to win this election by any means. I don't want to vote for Biden, but as always with this two party system of government, its a matter of choice between two evils. I can only hope that I've provided a voice of reason for you.
