Adding, subtracting, embellishing or changing the meaning of another's words is a unique talent!

Macron - and other world leaders - had 17 months to speak up on behalf of the Palestinians being slaughtered and force and end to it. Because he/they didn't - and by "they" I include everyone who COULD have made a difference - the slaughter and destruction was normalized and the door opened wide for the coming ethnic cleansing.

Israel has now declared it will shortly begin Trump's Plan to remove Palestinians. To Egypt or the war-and-famine torn parts of Africa.

There can be no Palestine without Palestinians. So Macron's words at this point are meaningless cover-your-ass garbage.

But if you think a Palestinian state is still
possible, by all means let us know how you envision that happening.
