” If progressives used the same standard when they measure Israel, he said, they would see that Israel has outstripped the U.S. in many of their dearest causes, including gun control,…”
Thanks for the laugh.
From former head of Israel’s Int’l Law Div., Military Advocate General’s office:
“If you do something for long enough, the world will accept it. The whole of international law is now based on the notion that an act that is forbidden today becomes permissible if executed by enough countries … International law progresses through violations. We invented the targeted assassination thesis and we had to push it. At first there were protrusions that made it hard to insert easily into the legal molds. Eight years later, it is in the center of the bounds of legitimacy.”

Endlessly repeating this erroneous information about Nader undercuts our work of challenging the corrupt duopoly by generating third party efforts.

She shouldn’t have gone off her meds, obviously.

It could be Amy’s fault because she NEVER mentions the occupation when she is reporting on the knife attacks, etc. But here again there is no context except that the IDF is supposedly guarding the Palestinians during the Olive Harvest. Ha!
I’m with Citizen C. Jeff and Erik should come home and work in the belly of the beast.
Me too.
