14. A negotiated two state solution is a plank in the 2024 Democratic Party platform.

It has long been a Democratic Party policy goal, so no strawmen, please.

There is only one Democratic elected official that I know of who favors a single state solution; your ire is better directed at them.

Like many Democrats who favor a two state solution, I trust the Biden-Harris administration and our Department of State on matters like this, rather than folks who grandstand on an international stage.

It's difficult to take a politician seriously when they want it Now! Now! Now! and are recommending that a tarnished, discredited, and largely inept UN take on the task.
