When Tom Friedman says the possibility of a Palestinian state was always a “fiction,” he shows contempt for Palestinians and reveals his role, promoting support for Israel in the U.S. establishment, no matter what.

Many experts have said Israel/Palestine is a one-state reality characterized by apartheid, but the establishment finally seems ready to listen, maybe because the two-state solution is so farcical no one is buying.

In a breakthrough for mainstream media, Amna Nawaz of PBS grilled former Israeli PM Naftali Bennett, and observed that Israel is not a democracy because 5 million Palestinians can’t vote.

U.S. Rep. Brad Sherman vilified the BDS campaign on PBS News Hour last night: “leaders of the BDS movement are trying — not the try to get Israel to change this or that policy, but to try to remove every Jew from the Middle East. Just as Hitler wanted a Jewish-free Europe.” Host Amna Nawaz allowed the false characterization to stand, and also echoed a characterization of Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib as anti-Semites.
