The "they of all people" argument followed by a comparison of Israeli Jews to Nazi Germany. I think I just hit bingo.
There are some unfortunate parallels between Zionist claims to the West Bank and the German policy of lebensraum.  Fortunately, the parallels with Nazi ideology are far from complete, and I hope they never come close.  The parallels with South African apartheid however are stronger, especially among those Zionists seeking to limit Palestinians to bantustans that remain dependent upon Israel, but have no real power or independence.  I can see why bantustans would be appealing to some Zionists, as a one-state solution means that Israel cannot be both Jewish and democratic. That said, a two-state solution isn't viable right now either. The best I can see is that the Israeli/Palestinian mess continues to muddle through for another generation or two until such time as the conditions occur for the existence of two viable and independent states of Israel and Palestine.  It strikes even me as a utopian fantasy, but it is the only way I see for anything other than a dystopian future for the region.

So having a critical view of the State of Israel=supporter of segregation?
You are utterly deranged. People like you are why Israel is rapidly losing the sympathy of the world.
Guess what? The State exists largely because of the fact that Israel simply cannot depend on the "sympathy of the world". Israel relying on the "sympathy of the world" gave us the pogroms. People like you gave us Auschwitz. Now we have the State and no one cares about scum like you and their "sympathies" anymore. "The world" only "sympathizes" with Israel if we are being killed. But we are not your slaves anymore, sorry to disappoint.

Ernest is probably going to apply his own anti-Jewish policy in terms of moderation with regard to this post, but whatever.
Other than correcting in my reply your misspelling of my username, I'm not changing what you wrote. I think that establishment of the State of Israel was a mistake, but I don't call for it's elimination for the simple reason that two wrongs don't make a right. That said, I think in the long term the State of Israel is doomed. The only stable resolution is the two-state solution (and is in my mind the best possible outcome) and Israeli policy since 1995 makes that much harder to reach, if it was ever possible. Not that the Palestinians are doing anything either to enhance the prospect of a two-state solution.

There's ample room to keep falling if the party doesn't get its DAMN CRAP TOGETHER, and White Supremacists take over the GOP in full. We have already seen that their voters are willing to let it happen.

If the Democrats think the reason they lost was White Supremacists, then they will lose badly in 2018.  What happened this year was a combination of two toxic candidates and voters deciding that rather than worrying about which candidate was more toxic, they'd vote for the candidate that represented change.

Governor Moonbeam is 78 years old. I doubt he wants to take up a new and thankless job at this point in his life. Jerry Brown is most likely in the final office of his long and fruitful career.

The importance ascribed to this position seems grossly exaggerated to me. Why all the fuss?

People are hungry for elections.

Also, neither Schumer nor Pelosi are particularly inspiring, so there's a leadership void for the party as a whole
