Odhinn wrote: » Simplistic nonsense, in view of continuing expansion by the Israeli state. Again - do you support continued Israeli colonialism outside its borders. You might be more specific with regards the claim that Jerusalem was to be put under international control - when, where etc.

Here is the information you asked for…https://www.timesofisrael.com/abbas-admits-he-rejected-2008-peace-offer-from-olmert/ My turn. Do you support the Palestinians launching rockets into Israel that results in the deaths of civilians?
Abbas said he supported the idea of territorial swaps, but that Olmert pressed him into agreeing to the plan without allowing him to study the proposed map. “He showed me a map. He didn’t give me a map,” Abbas said. “He told me, ‘This is the map’ and took it away. I respected his point of view, but how can I sign on something that I didn’t receive?”

Having a go at Trump too I expect makes him feel like less of a loser.

Going back to Somalia could spell big trouble for Omar. Somalia’s Islamist group al-Shabaab has publicly stoned a woman to death in a town for cheating on her husband. I guess Israel would be a better and much safer choice for her... Who’d have thunk. The hypocrisy of Omar knows no bounds. Supposedly married to her brother (a possible immigration scam), then cheating on him with the father of her three children, and now with another married man and father. She spends most of her time in front of a TV camera. Claims to be a devout Muslim and ignores campaign finance laws. When does Omar even have time to do legislature work the people of her Minneapolis district (who seemingly all have had lobotomies) elected her to do? And why is this woman not being investigated by the IRS, DOJ, and virtually every other government agency?

Dow plummets more than 600 points after Trump orders US manufacturers to leave China Friday’s decline added to a series of sharp moves down this month. The Nasdaq has now fallen at least 1% six times this month while the Dow has posted five drops of 1% or more. The S&P 500 has closed down 1% or more four times in August. Those moves come as the U.S.-China trade war intensifies while the bond market flashes a recession signal.https://www.cnbc.com/2019/08/23/us-stocks-wall-street-monitors-speech-from-fed-chair-jerome-powell.html
