Free Palestine Bill (Tabled)

Nay

I'll admit the bill could use some fixing up and it is mostly just a copy/paste of the original with a few changes to make it a tad more friendlier.  We cannot continue to pretend a problem does not exist and blindly fund Israel

What pray tell are the "conditions?" What wall is being condemned. The one that keeps the perps out of Israel proper?

The conditions are those outlined in Section 1 and Section 2

As for the wall, I have no idea that is copy/paste from the last one

Really shows what can be done in a productive senate and why the senate is so much better off with the senators there now

True I suppose, but it still needs a companion bill to ensure the offer sits favourably with some stubborn Arab League nations who would hold a dagger over Palestine for it's own ends. I'm trying to put a draft together.

I don't disagree with you but the latter has nothing to do with the former

To be fair to the last Senate, they were essentially correct:

Aye. This bill is unsalvageable; we're better off starting over from scratch.

Which is what the Senate more or less did.

Well that's not necessarily what happened, we more or less changed the wording of it, it accomplished the same goals.  The former senator and current Holocaust lover stated that the bill simply could not be passed because I was the sponsor, something he echoed during this current debate as well.

Franzl,
This is highly a compliment to yourself.  This senate has worked incredibly well together, it is important for the people to understand this.  We cannot let the senate slip back into a state of insults and uncooperative behavior. 

The fact that we accomplished something with a right-wing, moderate, and left-wing senator orchestrating the compromises is truly spectacular and something that hasn't happend since my first term
