SHORING UP THE BASE

Cigar Store's all-in.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on Saturday said that she was open to making aid to Israel conditional on whether the government ceases settlement building in the West Bank. 

"Right now, Netanyahu says he is going to take Israel in a direction of increasing settlements, [but] that does not move us in the direction of a two-state solution," Warren responded when asked what her stance was on aid and settlement-building. 

"It is the official policy of the United States of America to support a two-state solution, and if Israel is moving in the opposite direction, then everything is on the table," she said, before repeating: "Everything is on the table."

Anyone dumb enough to believe in the possibility of a "two-state solution" in this day and age is literally too stupid to be allowed outside without adult supervision, never mind become president of the United States.  The "Palestinians" have never wanted it and don't want it now.

That said, I don't think too much should be read into this.  Cigar Store's only saying what the rest of the Democrats are already thinking.  As far as Israel is concerned, Cigar Store can't go full-Trump and hope to have a chance of being nominated.
