Chuck Schumer, Senate minority leader, out here explaining the conflict: "Of course we say it's our land, the Torah says it. But [the Palestinians] don't believe in the Torah. So, that's the reason there is not peace." That's it. That's his geopolitical analysis. One religious text, one chosen people, and anyone who doesn't accept it is the problem. The guy supposedly representing the opposition party in the US Senate just reduced a decades-long occupation and mass civilian killing to "they should've read our book."
