We’ll always have South Africa.
Now would be a good time for Tlaib, Omar, and AOC to sign up as cosponsors of McCollum’s bill. Not a single member of Congress, other than McCollum, has signed up. None.
The two state solution may have died years ago, but Democratic politicians are still cashing its social security checks. House guests are beginning to notice the stench coming from the freezer.
McCollum’s bill died when Congress adjourned in December and the bill had not yet been passed. If AOC were serious she would reintroduce it in the current Congress. It’s pointless for a representative to praise a dead bill without resurrecting it. It’s also misleading.
Exactly. The elections proved it.
Beto said Netanyahu is “racist” and “doesn’t represent the true will of the Israeli people”. Beto got the first part right.
“(Well, liberal Zionists could come out for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS). That would be a countermove.)”
Yesterday AFTER Benjamin “Annex the Settlements” Netanyahu emerged victorious in the election, eight more Democrats and six more Republicans in the House added their names to the cosponsors of H.Res.246. This resolution is titled “Opposing efforts to delegitimize the State of Israel and the Global Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions Movement targeting Israel”. This brings the total of cosponsors to 116 Democrats (including the sponsor) and 83 Republicans.
Zionists, liberals and conservatives alike, are moving the chains.
Also, on ABC’s The View, Buttigieg engaged in pinkwashing when he blasted Ilhan Omar for comaparing Israel to Iran. “People like me get strung up in Iran… So, the idea that what’s going on is equivalent is just wrong.”
Buttigieg did not meet with AIPAC last week
The Washington Post’s David Weigel, who publishes the Trailer newsletter, had some insight into Buttigieg’s absence at AIPAC:
Two of them reached directly by The Trailer, Pete Buttigieg and Tulsi Gabbard, explained that they simply were not invited and wouldn’t rule out going in the future.
“We’d entertain any serious invitation to engage in an issue that matters to people in our country,” Buttigieg said. “We should be able to have different views represented without saying something that belittles someone’s right to be in the debate.”
Buttigieg is open to going in the future. He isn’t even trying to appeal to AIPAC’s critics.
