What is an a/209345 and why should I be warned?

I have so many questions, such as: What's his favorite Woody Allen movie?

He's a worthless piece of shit in every way, and my wife and I have no contact with him or his wife (my wife's sister). In general, her whole family is horrible and we are looking forward to being far away from them.

He molested my wife when she was a little kid. And because they are worthless garbage people.

Was this before or after the sister married him?

After. And I think she was like 15 when he started dating her (he's quite a bit older than she is).

Trump may not be completely wrong here.

David Brooks is the absolute worst, as Trump once again demonstrates why he's the least terrible of all these guys

So is Israel the rare issue in which the traditional "left-right" roles could be reversed?

https://www.yahoo.com/politics/hillary- ... 15028.html
Hillary Clinton did not mention Donald Trump during her keynote address at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s annual policy conference in Washington, D.C., on Monday. But her words were sharply pointed at the Republican frontrunner.

“I know that all of you understand what’s at stake in this election,” Clinton said. “We need steady hands, not a president who says he is neutral on Monday, pro-Israel on Tuesday, and who knows what on Wednesday because everything’s negotiable. Well, my friends, Israel’s security is nonnegotiable.”

Last month, Trump suggested he was “neutral” in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict so that he could negotiate with both parties.

“I think making a deal would be in Israel’s interests,” the brash billionaire said on ABC’s “This Week With George Stephanopoulos” on Sunday. “I don’t know one Jewish person that doesn’t want to have a deal, a good deal, a proper deal, but a really good deal. But I would say it’s probably one of the toughest deals. Me being a dealmaker, it’s probably one of the toughest deals in the world to make, because there’s just so many — there’s just so many decades of hatred between the two sides.”

Clinton seized on Trump’s reluctance to take a stand.

“America can’t ever be neutral when it comes to Israel’s security or survival,” she said. “We can’t be neutral when rockets rain down on residential neighborhoods, when civilians are stabbed in the street, when suicide bombers target the innocent. Some things aren’t negotiable. And anyone who doesn’t understand that has no business being our president.

It's a tricky issue for Dems, I think.

I generally get the feeling that the far-left has a centrist view on Israeli-Palestinian relations, while the middle-left is still mostly pro-Israel.

Can anyone point me to a good primer on the history of the Israel/Palestine conflict? I know virtually nothing about it and have been curious for a while.
