Talk about illogic, my appeal isn’t an argumentum ad populum (appeal to the mob).

Right now, a two-state solution is still the formula most of the world endorses but the chances of either side accepting it are slim. Netanyahu and right-wing coalition partners oppose a sovereign Palestinian state, citing security concerns and biblical/historic claims. Many ministers advocate permanent control over much of the West Bank. Most…[Read more]
