Netanyahu is a terrible person. Not on the same level as our Twit, but terrible. They’re calling him out on that, From his (and Lester’s) perspective that’s a stinky mess that they left on his step, but for those of us who are both reality based and at least mildly empathetic, it’s his mess in the first place.
I believe that the White House has published a source book for alternative facts for pseudo-conservative politicians, pundits and cartoonists so they can agree on the same stories. It’s probably titled “Mein Drumpf”.
So Trump tells them they should go back to where they came from. But when Rep Tlaib tries to go back to where her parents came from he yanks Israel’s chain and tells them not to let her go back to where she came from. He hasn’t enough of a mind to make up, sad.
Any time they’re criticized the Israelis play the antisemitism card because it has worked consistently in the past. However, the nation of Israel is a political entity that makes political decisions that effect the entire region. There is no reason the Israeli government should not face criticism for their political actions when those actions adversely effect others. And considering the flagrant and repeated violations of international laws and agreements there’s no reason to believe that the criticism will not become louder and international isolation more intense. And this has nothing to do with religion.
You know what, MLester? Those are some pretty reasonable ways to fight authority, don’t you think?
We both grew up in the 60’s and 70’s, you and I. We watched terrorists hijack planes, murder Olympic athletes, blow up the Marine Barracks in Lebanon. Some frankly bad shit. A long list of bad stuff, left burning on our doorstep.
And now the Palestinians are trying to change the rules, the way that they play the game. BDS.
What would you rather have them do, Mike?
Oh, wait, I know. What you’d rather have them do is simply go away. Cease to exist. Surrender their entire culture.
On the other hand, there is Israel. Failing to meet obligations and agreements to the Palestinians within international law.
And you give them a free pass.
Here’s a newsflash, Mike. Israel is wrong. And it isn’t anti-Semitic for me to say so. You’re supporting the wrong side. Our president is supporting the wrong side.

Netanyahu is old school, old testament. Be sure and hold that grudge, never forgive, eye for an eye and so on.

Amazing how many hate Lester’s viewpoint, and yet make no effort to leave. Evidently masochists all.

Like L. Benson, Lester eagerly promotes #45’s agenda.

For safety’s sake, I hope The Squad used lead lined gloves when placing Trump’s brains in that paper bag.

@clayusmcret — Are you suggesting that there is something wrong with trying to correct ‘wrongheadedness?’
