    What were the demands?

    You say that like the two sides are remotely comparable.

    Uhoh.



    If this is true, will Fredo change his story a fourth time? Will the agent be listed on Kushner's newly revised (100 added to it) list of foreign contacts?

    Since Trump's lawyers knew about this meeting three weeks ago, does the continually changing account indicate witness tampering?

    No, I said what I actually said. ... I was responding to your post -- about Jared Kushner having "as good a chance" as "anyone else on this planet."

    I found that to be a ridiculous statement. ... Kushner grew up with Netanyahu as a friend of his family, and Kushner is personally aligned with Israel's goals. It is moronic to send that kind of person in as a mediator. If you do, you take a fairly intractable situation and you stupidly make it even more intractable because your "mediator" is pre-aligned with one of the sides.

    Yes ... and they're dead. All in a country deeply used to ongoing violent conflict. Does this surprise of shock you in some way?

    Do you think the headline conveys what happened?

    Maybe Fucko should put Creepy Seb Gorka and Smelly Steve Bannon, both anti-Semitic Nazis, on the Mideast negotiating team.

    Their goal is to shove the Jews in the ovens.

    Maybe KushCuck and Bibi should have a review session on how that fits in with Israel's goals.

    What Ragu leaves out is that Netanyahu's demands were that the Palestinians stop doing things like paying the families of suicide bombers, so that Israel can achieve their goal of living in peace, side by side, with their neighbors.

    You can see why that's so outrageous, was dismissed out of hand by Abbas, and set back any hope for peace.

    Ahhh, I figured you were applying and American level of preciousness/outrage at the death of police to a situation where it's not really applicable (we see police as some sort of noble souls deserving all our deference. Palestinians, probably rightly, do not view Israeli police in the same light)

    But instead I now see you're concerned about tweet phrasing. And the answer is, I don't totally care about that. The tweet phrases one way, the actual headline (Israeli policeman killed in shooting attack) the opposite. I've watched enough sports fans find what gets them mad and get salty, I'm less concerned with what some low-level employee quickly dashed off on Twitter (0r wrote with the hopes of getting traction with its readers).
