On We must thank Ilhan Omar for opening a debate about AIPAC at last
The ACLU is appealing a third ruling by a judge in Arkansas who said the measures are not unconstitutional. I have not read anywhere that Arkansas Times v. Waldrip is under appeal. Is there a reference?
On Maryland software engineer sues Gov. Larry Hogan over anti-BDS law
The Combating BDS Act of 2019 is overreach by AIPAC, and unlike the state bills that it encourages, the federal bill doesn't actually do anything. However, it stokes resentment against the lobby in the Democratic base and awakens the previously unbothered editorial boards in our newspapers. It underscores the pernicious influence of Israel in our democracy. The backlash is clearly seen in the Reader Picks comments to Rubio's NYT op-ed. For AIPAC, a Pyrrhic victory.

Dershowitz in The Hill:
The front page of the New York Times Sunday Review featured one of the most biased, poorly informed, and historically inaccurate columns about the conflict between Israel and Palestine ever published by a mainstream newspaper.
There was a time when Dershowitz would make me angry. Now he just makes me laugh.

Besides Cory Booker, cosponsor of S 720 (115th Congress), a couple of less known Democratic 2020 hopefuls have anti-BDS records. Maryland Congressman John Delaney is listed as a cosponsor of HR 1697, the House companion bill of S 720. And in March Colorado Governor Hickenlooper signed HB 16-1284 which requires the state pension fund to create a blacklist of for-profit entities that boycott Israel. Both Delaney and Hickenlooper are in the CNN Poll list of potential 2020 candidates.
On Senate is unlikely to debate BDS — so long as gov’t remains shut down
Along the same line as Goldberg and Telhami, HRW's Kenneth Roth recently wrote on Twitter,
Why are people souring on the two-state solution for Israel-Palestine? Because as the moribund "peace process" goes nowhere, talk of two states looks more and more like a cover for a permanent, discriminatory regime of control.
The key word is cover.
On Israel got delegitimized last week
Thanks for this Misterioso. So Desrshowitz keeps changing his story about the massage. How could his wife have been present during the massage as said the deposition, if he, as he said in 2016, immediately called her afterwards? From the Palm Beach Daily News in 2016:
"I never got a massage from anybody. It's made up out of whole cloth," Dershowitz said in a Jan. 21, 2015, article in the New York Daily News. In an interview the following day on Local 10 News, he said, "I kept my underwear on during the massage." Dershowitz said he received one massage at Epstein's house "from a woman in her 40s. I think her name was Olga. I called my wife after getting the massage. It was an unpleasant experience. I've always acknowledged I had one massage. I said that from day one."

The two-state solution is indeed dead, but politicians conveniently keep it animated like Norman Bates' mother. Nancy Pelosi mentioned the two state solution this week in an address to Israeli-Americans. She was surprised when the audience jeered her.
