        Boy oh boy did they screw up on this topic. I guess the DNC got their cheque and left laughing as the rest of the world continues to get fucked.

          More like consciously made an awful decision whilst gaslighting the public about their desire for a two-state solution and active war crimes they’re sponsoring and supplying:

          While clarifying that President Joe Biden has worked vigorously to support “Palestinian aspirations for statehood” within the context “of a comprehensive peace that would resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,” a diplomatic cable dated April 12 details U.S. talking points against a U.N. vote for Palestinian statehood. The cable says that Security Council members must be persuaded to reject any proposal for Palestinian statehood — and thereby its recognition as a sovereign nation — before the council’s open debate on the Middle East, scheduled for April 18.

        I’m not seeing it here, but the other ironic subtext is that Goliath was a Philistine, now known as a Palestinian (same root word).

          I’ll explain: Israel is evoking an image OF David to defend against people that are (as you just said) descendants of the Philistine. If that’s not cruel irony, I don’t know what is.
