every Congress member who even considered signing the anti-BDS bill is sacrificing the rights of their own constituents and all Americans to the interests of a foreign government. Once again, this is the height of disloyalty – and a measure of just how much power AIPAC has. Every one of them should be removed from office.
It is clearly illegal for government to force someone to waive a constitutional right of political speech, including boycotts. We cannot allow Zionists, be they Democrats or Republicans, to abrogate our constitutional rights, so as to further shield israel from accountability.
And everyone is in a tizzy about Russia when israel has interfered more in US politics than any other country? If your loyalties lie with Israel, you’re free to leave the States; just surrender your US citizenship at the border. No man can serve two masters.
I’m sure all of the countries who could stomach listening to this drivel were rolling their eyes. israel, who takes every chance to bash the UN now hopes to make a useless case like this? His moronic words are useless but he and israeli are just to stupid to realize it.
Here’s a another peace plan – Let’s call it “The New Israel”
The settlement blocs in the occupied West Bank, which are illegal under international law, would form part of Palestine.
Jerusalem will not be divided but is to be shared by Palestine and the “New Israel” with Palestine maintaining general control.
Israelis living in Jerusalem would be citizens of the Palestinian state and Palestine would remain in charge of the municipality and therefore the land.
The newly formed Israeli state would – pay taxes to the Palestinian municipality in order to be in charge of education in the city for Israelis.
New Israel will have a local police force who will be allowed to hold “light weapons.” The new Israeli state will be prevented from forming a military. Palestine will be responsible for security – for a fee paid by the Israeli government.
Egypt will offer the new Israeli state land to build an airport, factories and for agriculture which will service the israel proper. Israelis will not be permitted to live on this land.
“New Israel” would not be allowed to continue having or forming an army but could maintain a police force. Instead, a defence agreement will be signed between “New Israel” and Palestine in which Palestine would defend the new state from any foreign attacks.
Israelis will not be in charge of their own security against Palestine, which means not only the Israeli military but also the fanatical, messianic settlers, many of them Americans, who think nothing of killing, bashing, and humiliating the goyische Palestinians with impunity will be deported back to “new Israel”. See army vets’ testimony about gratuitous violence at Breaking the Silence – these people will form the backbone of security with Palestine
The Jordan Valley will remain in Palestinian hands and a four-lane toll road will be built through ‘New Israel”.
Oh, no? the zionazis would NEVER agree to something like that right. Then why should the Palestinians?

Oh wait, the Israelis would NEVER agree to that, oh gee, now they know how the Palestinians feel. NOT!
Agreed. These arguments and slogans have become clichés and inside jokes, the classics include: “Israel made the desert bloom”
“A land without a people, for a people without a land “ – Israel, so they say, meaning Palestine, had been mostly wasteland and one of the great feats of the Zionist enterprise was to turn the desert green.
An example would be a crop of Jaffa oranges, which was exported to the rest of the world. What a triumph against the odds of nature and humanity’s neglect.
What a lie. Most of the orange groves and vineyards belonged to Palestinians who had been tilling the soil and exporting oranges and grapes to Europe since the eighteenth century.
Or my favorite: “There was never a state/place called Palestine” – they stick the word ‘state’ or ‘place’ in there like it proves their worthless point.
This last one I find especially entertaining, it clashes so wonderfully with other Israeli talking points. In the end it amounts to “We are under existential threat from the people who don’t exist.”
Sorry, here is the Haaretz link without the pay wall.

Do we hold Islamophobia and Antisemitism to the same standards? On January 18th the POTUS tweeted that “prayer rugs” were found near the United States’ southern border in order to incite fear about dangerous Muslims immigrating into the United States. All untrue.
Where was the backlash to these unfounded claims? Yet when a Muslim woman, who has been a victim to Islamophobia herself, tweets about concerns of United States’ controversial policy and foreign relations in Israel, she is immediately attacked as being anti-Semitic.
What kind of real democracy results in 2% of the population determining US foreign policy in the Middle East to rubber-stamp israel’s rogue whims? Shameful.
Isn’t it pathetic a tiny country the size of Bakersfield Cal that’s 6,000 miles away controls the foreign policy of most powerful nation in the world? Shameful.
Videotapes recording illegal jewish settler squats throwing garbage and spitting on Hebron Palestinians does more to stereotype israel to the world than the claims of any anti-Semites.
Don’t look now but Haaretz is also firmly on Omar’s side and that speaks volumes.
Great piece in Haaretz supporting Omar – very succint and clarifies the brouhaha.
Well, well, well, – Lee Zeldin? Let’s hop on over to Opensecrets shall we? Zeldin makes the top 20 and top 5 for pro -israel donations. Shocker right? Along with Cardin, Menendez and guess who – Beto. My, my, my – what motivation these folks have to try and smear Omar. Not gonna work. I stand with Omar and Zeldin should be ashamed of himself and called out for it.

“Accusing Jews of “allegiance to a foreign country” is a historically classic way of delegitimizing their participation in the political system. ”
But it’s ok when members of Congress and the MSM equate pro-Palestinian advocates and Muslims as siding with Iran or supporting Palestinian people a.k.a ‘terrorists’ who want to ‘wipe israel off the map’ as if such a thing were even possible in 2019. I’m so sick of these hypocrites and stand with Omar and Tlaib.
Ms. Harris is married to a Jew. It may be true.
