The State of the PA: Between Annexation and Recognition

star 0 Politics Israel

JL;DR SUMMARY The episode analyzes the fragile state of the Palestinian Authority (PA) amidst Israeli policies in the West Bank, economic instability, and Palestinian statehood recognition attempts. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski.

  • At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself.
  • This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude.
  • Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from.
  • But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
  • And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
