"... organizers put the tally at ~3M... [While] data scientist G. Elliott Morris estimated... total attendance at up to 6M [which is ~2% of the U.S. pop.]" tinyurl.com/y9uwwsat

Trump Wants a Prize. Gazans Want Peace. #ABlueView🧵1/3

🧵3/3 Palestinians Are Unlikely to Get Peace

The problem for the Palestinians is that this is a complicated deal over time with lots of moving parts and short-attention-span, historically-illiterate Trump has made himself the key actor in the middle of it!

🧵2/3 Trump Wants a Prize.

How many Palestinian & Israeli lives would have been saved if he forced the deal a year ago (which, btw, is very similar to the one Biden tried to get at the end of his term)?
