Way too much over the top virtue signalling when it comes to US immigration policy, which is far far more liberal and non racist than that of Israel. On Booker says Israeli walls in Palestine are different from walls in America Do people not bring their culture with them? If so, it matters where people come from does it not? On Booker says Israeli walls in Palestine are different from walls in America Booker is a shameless political whore. He claims to speak up for minorities, but it is clear he speaks up for himself to accrue more political power. On Booker says Israeli walls in Palestine are different from walls in America Exactly! And why aren't we throwing the accusations of racism back at them? Why aren't the Zionists called supremacists? Why aren't they called anti Palestinian bigots? Or anti Gentilists? Our side seems to enjoy losing. It is very disconcerting. And we would have far more success if we spent a little less time exposing what Israel is doing to Palestinians than exposing what it has done and is doing to the US, more recently, the fact that it has successfully hijacked our foreign policy and pushed for wars that have led to so much misery and death for our service men and women.

On Hasbara is dead I should not have said bi-partisan, I meant to say, across political spectrum. thanks for the good point. On Hasbara is dead Tying the Palestinian cause to the anti Trump crusade is a very dangerous strategy. Unless we have a huge economic crash, Trump will win re-election. Why not work on convincing middle America that Israel is not our friend and that Israel does not deserve to continue to be America's welfare queen? All you need to do is tell the truth about what Israel has done to this nation over the years, from the Lavon Affair, to the attack on the USS Liberty, to the lobbying for the Iraq War, etc. Make the case against Israel with a bi-partisan approach. On Hasbara is dead The fact that they keep quiet about Israel's aid to AQ and ISIS fighters in Syria, about Israel serving as the Air Force for these terrorists in Syria, says so much more than their silence on Gaza.
