The US' support of Israel comes from ideological grounds, Christian Zionism, and more significantly from Foreign Policy grounds, from MIC profits to weapons testing to destabilization of the region for dominance.
Despite the blackmail Israel has on US politicians, it is by far Israel that is the puppet of the US. Israel is entirely dependent on the US.
Yeah the Nazi who's famously done Holocaust revisionism is actually not anti-Semitic and opposes israel on the basis of human rights instead of cynically using it as a talking point to garner support..
If I'm being very generous, this dude was in straight up denial about all his buds being Neo-Nazis for a looong time. I guess it's possible all those crayons blocked a lot of his critical thinking lol. Working for Blackwater is still by far the most damning, I'd need to hear an authentic condemnation of all the merc shit He's done to really believe that he's not a fascist or that he's at least reflected and reformed.
It'll be interesting to see how many ppl in Maine will choose this guy over the incumbent, and whether this kind of background matters at all to the electorate as long as the policies being advocated for actually address affordability
There is the Saif al-Islam Gaddafi Isratin proposal:
The Gaddafi Isratin proposal intended to permanently resolve the Israeli–Palestinian conflict through a secular, federalist, republican one-state solution, which was first articulated by Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, the son of Muammar Gaddafi of Libya, at the Chatham House in London and later adopted by Muammar Gaddafi himself.
Creation of a binational Jewish-Palestinian state called the "Federal Republic of the Holy Land";
Partition of the state into five administrative regions, with Jerusalem as a city-state;
Return of all Palestinian refugees;
Supervision by the United Nations of free and fair elections on the first and second occasions;
Removal of weapons of mass destruction from the state;
Recognition of the state by the Arab League.
Similar to the Binational State Solution advocated by the Palestinian leadership and some others prior to the Nakba.
The Zionist position changed in 1928, when the pragmatic Palestinian leaders agreed to the principle of parity in a rare moment in which clannish and religious differences were overcome for the sake of consensus. The Palestinian leaders feared that without parity the Zionists would gain control of the political system. The unexpected Palestinian agreement threw the Zionist leaders into temporary confusion. When they recovered, they sent a refusal to the British, but at the same time offered an alternative solution: the partitioning of Palestine into two political units.

On 31 August 1947, UNSCOP presented its recommendations to the UN General Assembly. Three of its members were allowed to put forward an alternative recommendation. The majority report advocated the partition of Palestine into two states, with an economic union. The designated Jewish state was to have most of the coastal area, western Galilee, and the Negev, and the rest was to become the Palestinian state. The minority report proposed a unitary state in Palestine based on the principle of democracy. It took considerable American Jewish lobbying and American diplomatic pressure, as well as a powerful speech by the Russian ambassador to the UN, to gain the necessary two-thirds majority in the Assembly for partition. Even though hardly any Palestinian or Arab diplomat made an effort to promote the alternative scheme, it won an equal number of supporters and detractors, showing that a considerable number of member states realized that imposing partition amounted to supporting one side and opposing the other.

This ongoing Settler Colonialism annexing the West Bank continues to make a Two State Solution less possible, it has already divided the West Bank into hundreds of isolated enclaves. This Apartheid State needs to end as a binational state for all Palestinians and Israelis.
Here are resources by Historians about a One-State Solution. In many ways, it's already a One-State, an Apartheid State, this change would be the emancipation of Palestinians to bring forth a One-State with equal rights.
The settlements represent land-grabbing, and land-grabbing and peace-making don’t go together, it is one or the other. By its actions, if not always in its rhetoric, Israel has opted for land-grabbing and as we speak Israel is expanding settlements. So, Israel has been systematically destroying the basis for a viable Palestinian state and this is the declared objective of the Likud and Netanyahu who used to pretend to accept a two-state solution. In the lead up to the last election, he said there will be no Palestinian state on his watch. The expansion of settlements and the wall mean that there cannot be a viable Palestinian state with territorial contiguity. The most that the Palestinians can hope for is Bantustans, a series of enclaves surrounded by Israeli settlements and Israeli military bases.
Thank God it wasn't acid or some even worse shit
