I didn't have to use 'we' to make a point about so many members here wishing for the Muslim unity, wishing for the Pakistani nukes helping the Palestinians etc etc. This long long thread is full of such wishful thinking. Now, I too use 'we' in a sort of way and I use that consistently in this thread and I don't hide that: Political mobilization, smart politics, political alliances where it matters the most, which is America. Smart politics. I can tell you that those stupid Muslim Imams who made selfies with Trump, those 'Latinos for Trump', those African Americans who supported Trump and more of such people are already regretting their wrong support for Trump. Go, look it up. It is not that I want to be proven right on Trump, it is to remind people that choices have consequences and prepare for the 2026 Mid Term and 2028 elections now. And also realize that The Green Party is a non-starter and is actually a 'controlled opposition' used by the Republicans to split the Progressive vote. I know this. I too voted for Nader in 2000 and Jill Stein in 2016. But now I know better.
As to your point about Gaza not lost, yes, they are valiantly still standing there but the real prize was the West Bank. Even Gaza is not a major threat to Israel for decades to come, allowing Israel enough time to focus on the West Bank and the large track of land they have just acquired in Syria. Israel may well acquire land in Gaza too. That's a victory. The Israelis are bruised but the Israelis are not brought to their knees. They got the land and they are the clear winners. Those who acquire land and hold onto it are the winners! It is painful for me to say that.
