“Hamas, which has been in control of the Gaza Strip since carrying out a bloody coup against the Palestinian Authority (PA) in 2007. . . ”
Sorry to see “Arab News” and Mondoweiss passing along this Zionist propaganda, which is of course completely false. In ’06 Hamas won the last representation election conducted in Gaza and the West Bank. Hamas offered to enter into joint governance with the PA and recognize the state of Israel. Instead of respecting self determination as exercised by Palestinians and the reasonableness of the political response by Hamas, Condi Rice, Israel and Egypt slipped PA assassins into Gaza to foment civil war. Hamas put a stop to that.
Our Congress is responsible for the humiliation of members of Congress, who are denied entry into Israel.
Three years ago Congress passed an extraordinary exception to visa requirements for Israelis, who wish to enter the United States.
The US has a visa-exception arrangement like this with several countries but the no-visa-required privilege is typically, reciprocal.
The visa exception arrangement Congress has made to accommodate Israelis is not reciprocal for U.S. citizens.
The “enablers of Apartheid” have filled up the Congress.
This means that Congress is responsible for the humiliation of members of Congress, who are denied entry into Israel.

The Palestinians killed were “militants” ?? The Israelis are . . . what? Why buy into the propaganda ? Would you be a “militant’ if you were defending your home in Richmond or Chicago from colonial Invaders and occupiers who control all land, sea, and air routes into and out of your open your prison, where you wife and children were confined year after year?
$50 billion of other people’s money – the asking price according to Jared’s homework paper, for people to shut up about political rights; Plan B must be to wave that in front of the Israelis. What? No takers? So ungrateful . . . such a missed opportunity . . .
CROCODILE TEARS – Like shouted accusations of anti-Semitism or talking over the voice of the invited speaker, tears are a rehearsed ploy, designed to distract.
A year or two ago, at a private school in the Bronx, ‘outraged’ parents gathered to demand the dismissal of two teaches who were leading courses about Palestine; one parent accused a targeted teacher of making her daughter cry in class. The two teachers were removed from the faculty; one retired, the other was fired.
Now at UCLA, another crocodile tears stunt. Notice that the UCLA newspaper student newspaper article focused on reaction – not on substantive statements from the invited speaker.
A few years ago Miko Peled (if memory serves) was speaking to a full auditorium and people lined up at microphones to ask questions. When it was her turn at the mike, a woman began to cry; Peled said, stop with the crocodile tears! She stopped.
” . . . it is a good thing that we will now finally be able to have an honest debate about the dreadful situation created by American complicity in enabling Israel’s continued oppression of Palestinians.”
That’s it? You, now hoping for “a debate” ?
A century on and counting plus a thousand more words from you @ why Bibi’s re-election is a good thing – so you can wish for (not even call for, just wish for) . . . a debate.
You got all the Democratic Pres. Candidates lined up to debate Israel / Palestine? Sure you do. Not.
Let’s all close our eyes really tight and wish for . . . a debate.
You write like we all live on Planet Patty Cake.
Well, the Israelis don’t.
