Disgraceful.

Tom Nides praises Israel's 'relatively calm' attack on Palestinians in the blockaded Gaza Strip. Really? You want to tell that to the parents of the 17 Palestinian children killed?

Seriously, you need to stop Jewsplaining. Nearly 40% of Jewish Americans under age 40 (and probably an even higher percentage of college aged students) believe Israel is an apartheid state. (Source: Jewish Electorate Institute)

Israel's judicial coup has ALREADY enabled another racist law. The Knesset passed a bill expanding communities' abilities to keep out people deemed “unsuitable to [its] social & culture makeup”, i.e. Palestinians. Yes, Israel is a racist, apartheid state.
