Hillary Clinton posted:

My first visit to Israel, in December 1981, sparked an enduring emotional connection for me — to the land and its people — and admiration for how Israelis have built a thriving democracy in a region full of adversaries and autocrats.

...

I have stood with Israel my entire career. As a senator, I fought to get Magen David Adom accepted to the International Red Cross when other nations tried to exclude the organization. I wrote and co-sponsored bills that isolated terror groups, and pushed to crack down on incitement in Palestinian textbooks and schools. As secretary of state, I requested more assistance for Israel every year, and supported the lifesaving Iron Dome rocket defense system. I defended Israel from isolation and attacks at the United Nations and other international settings, including opposing the biased Goldstone report.

...

I also will combat growing efforts to isolate Israel internationally and to undermine its future as a Jewish state, including the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement. I’ve spoken out against BDS in the United States and at the U.N., and will continue to do so.
For me, fighting for Israel isn’t just about policy — it’s a personal commitment to the friendship between our peoples and our vision for peace and security.

Very true. And they pretty much rewarded his killer by going down the crazy ultranationalist route afterwards.

When Democrats were their most pissed this spring when he gave his speech before congress, support for Israel on the D side hit its big low of 64% calling for mass support for Israel.


Looking at individual politicians is like looking at individual chess pieces. Sure they have different capabilities and strengths, but the real story is the forces moving them.

I think the idea is breaking through the veil of anonymity that the KKK has historically used to avoid punishment for their actions, but yeah in the modern era it's pretty underwhelming. Unless there's a famous person or politician on it, then it's badass.

But let's all reflect and lol at how eager people were to believe the "four sitting US Senators are card carrying members of the KKK" fake story from Tuesday.

Isn't NPR government-funded though? Like the GOP hates any money going for public television/radio and them badmouthing Israel could get their funding yanked really quickly since the Israel thing is probably the only issue that gets bipartisan support.

Not saying it's not lovely to begin with.

NPR gets a sliver of money from the feds, the vast, vast majority of their operating budget comes from listener donations.

They are pro Israel because liberals are usually pro Israel and that's their demo.

The campaign says “reaching out and talking to them in a language that they prefer and in a language that, and in a cultural format that they appreciate” is a way of broadening its appeal to the younger African-American vote.

“This happens to be a group that we feel pretty strongly is ready and prepared to start working for Ben Carson,” Watts said.

When I went to the New Hampshire democratic convention in September there were quite a few visible minorities with Bernie stuff then. People do come up to NH from Massachusetts and farther for big campaign events like that and this, hell I'm one of them. It's quite odd that not a single one was there.

He could just be going senile. I mean, he did retire a few years back so it's not like he's a danger in the operating room because of it.
