    no point in blaming her on this, as a politician you need to pick your battles if you want to achieve any kind of power to change anything

      In your mind why is the human rights, dignity, and lives of Palestinians not a battle worth fighting?

      Would you be fine with the complete annexation of Palestine if it meant you got Medicare for all?

        No, but she got little to almost zero say in the second matter. I'm not saying she should support annexation either, but like she said a passive support for the existence of independent Palestine could be a good enough message for now.

          Under Obama you had passive US support for an independent Palestine to the point that Zionists absolutely hated the mans guts for supporting a two State Solution, and yet it did nothing to change the reality for Palestinians of apartheid and creeping annexation. So no that is not a good enough message, and not a good enough policy unless you believe that Palestinian lives are worth less than Americans.
