The Democratic Party’s mega-donor class is horrified by the rising tide of progressive populism. Too bad. It's time they recognize the real choice is between democracy and tyranny, between an economy that works for all or one that works for a small sliver at the top.

The Iran war has pushed Israel-Palestine off the diplomatic agenda — even as Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon worsen. The lesson: ignoring structural inequities in Israel-Palestine doesn’t contain conflict. It regionalizes it. www.brookings.edu/articles/the... @brookings.edu

🧵 1/ The US/Israel war with Iran may have bumped Israel-Palestine out of the headlines. But it was, in part, a consequence of it. For years, many argued the Palestinian issue could be managed or bypassed. The region has paid the price for that assumption. www.brookings.edu/articles/the...

1- Trump’s “Board of Peace” to be rolled out this week in Davos is not “peace architecture.” It’s “control architecture” that centralizes power, dilutes legitimacy, and makes a long-term sustainable peace harder. Isn’t just about Gaza, it’s about team Trump’s approach to world.🧵

1. As Trump heads to the region, Israel faces a massive bipartisan crisis in its relationship with the U.S. There is a way out, but it requires ending the war, getting the hostages out, pursuing normalization and a Palestinian state. Short of that, the relationship may never be the same.
