Osama bin Laden uses the word “Palestine” 13 times in his letter explaining his actions while having just a few throw-away paragraphs on women, sex, gambling, etc.
Admittedly if Palestine wasn’t an issue it’s tough to say that Islamic supremacists would say okay that’s fine pack up and go home no need to agitate for our religion any more.
True, but if not for the prominence of US imperialism they’d have a far more difficult time finding significant bases of support.
we could stop feting Malala and leave Pakistan to its own devices, I guess?
Who needs Palestine? Give the territory to Jordan and Egypt, demobilize the whole identity, and it’s no longer under Israeli rule.
Also, if you want the US OUT of the Middle East, staging a terrorist attack that literally kills thousands of people, thus providing the political will to invade middle eastern countries that did not previously exist for a President that was just barely elected is the opposite of what you should do.
