Try reading Churchill’s history of WWII, the first book specifically.
I was about as depressed as it was possible to be the whole time I was reading that first book.

The parallels to today are so close it’s unbelievab… all too believable.

Anyone who pointed out that Hitler wasn’t abiding by treaties was being unhelpful(no matter how bad the Versailles Treaty, they should have enforced it or renegotiated it, not let him void it by his actions), and any who said that Hitler wouldn’t be happy with whichever piece of Europe he took last was called a “warmonger” and worse.

The PA will declare it has renounced terrorism but it will continue the violent rhetoric in Arabic and it will not drop the pro-terrorism clauses from its charter. What it will do is announce that they are going to consider those clauses non-operative, but never actually do anything like an actual excision of them. This will suffice for the world and further pressure will be placed on Israel. As I have...ahem..pointed out before, from the Jews deeds, from the Arabs, words.
