A one state or a two state solution for Gaza Strip and West Bank?
We have tried for how many decades to implement a working two state solution and it has failed!
It is time to say goodbye to the two state delusion and fantasy!
The Arabs living in Gaza Strip and the West Bank have proven again and again over several decades that they are not willing and not capable of a peaceful coexistence with Israel and to govern their affairs without crooks, criminals, warmongers and terrorists! These Arabs have allowed themselves to become all too willing pawns and useful idiots of hatred and hostility against Israel against their best interests!
Thus, a (transitional?) one state solution with Israel in charge and allowing some autonomy and self-governance of the Gaza Strip and West Bank to its citizens.
Arab countries could and should join the effort and together help Israel and the citizens of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank to make the one state solution a lasting success and to realize peace in the Middle East at last! The Abraham Accords were a major step in this direction!
In 20-30 or so years, the one state solution could be reviewed and reconsidered depending on the progress towards peace and prosperity! Annual or biannual reviews could be established as well.

University of California: 2 million voters with felony convictions have the right to vote – but might not know. Really!
- Voting eligibility for people with felony convictions has expanded since 1997, with more than two million individuals now able to vote.
- Several factors, like misinformation, distrust of government or lack of clarity around procedures, impede many from exercising their right to vote.
- Direct outreach, including through trusted, on-the-ground community organizations, as well as informational text messaging, can help eligible voters navigate the process and make sure their voices are included in elections.

Smart on Crime plagiarism by Mistress Kamala exposed by a prominent Austrian plagiarism hunter
As an aside, I think I prefer the broken windows theory!
Has an Austrian just dared to commit foreign election interference less than 30 days before elections? Just kidding! 😊
This book was published in 2009. Did nobody ever before claim that it contained plagiarism?
Note Mistress Kamala did not write this book herself! How much did Kamala write and how much the ghost writer contribute? This should be a fair question for the presidential candidate.
To hire ghost writers is common, but in her case it has perhaps more meaning and supports the allegation that she is incompetent and has achieved not much in her professional life.
Plagiarism is not uncommon among politicians! 😊
"... The so-called "plagiarism hunter," Austrian professor [???] Stefan Weber, found 27 times that Harris, the 2024 Democrat nominee for president, and her co-author allegedly committed some form of plagiarism. ..."
"Like Germany’s current minister for foreign affairs Annalena Baerbock, also Kamala Harris did plagiarize in a book, namely in „Smart on Crime“ (2009). ..."
Footnote: It appears Mr. Stefan Weber is not a professor. He might be a docent. See e.g. the Wikipedia entry on him.

This might be at the core of the current, intensifying foreign relations dispute between Canada and India.
Were the reasons for Canada to deny the extradition well founded or flimsy? It has the appearance that the reasons for the denial were not convincing!
Caveat: I am not familiar with the details of this dispute

Do you recognize this guy?
He should have stayed home and play with his three grandchildren or have lunch with his wife!
His campaign for Mistress Kamala was a disaster! He appeared more senile and demented than the 46th President! Perhaps, his romantic affairs with interns caused him to contract a sexually transmitted diseases.
To bring him out to campaign is one heck of sign of verry palpable desperation by the Dimocratic Party!
