Michael Moore says Palestinians have gotten a ‘raw deal’

Here is another sign that last week’s floor eruption at the Democratic Convention over the party leadership’s move to stuff Jerusalem back into the platform is indicative of a groundswell inside the center-left in favor of human rights in the occupied territories. Palestine is mentioned only in passing by Michael Moore at alternet, but he didn’t have to mention it at all. The fact that he did may suggest that the issue has gained some weight in left-liberal circles… 

The Republicans know this: that we, the majority, will have sex when we want and with whom we want, will read and watch whatever we want when we want, will use marijuana if we want and if we don’t want to then we certainly don’t want our friends who do to be throw into prison. We are sick and tired of being poisoned, by chemicals or propaganda, we think the Palestinians have been given a raw deal and we want our friggin’ jobs back! The Christian Right (and their Wall Street funders) know this all too well – America has turned, and there’s no going back to not loving someone because of the color of their skin or expecting women to cede control of their bodies to a bunch of Neanderthals.
