When asked if he considers himself a Zionist, the governor did not respond directly: “I revere the state of Israel,” he answered. “I’m proud to support the state of Israel. I deeply, deeply oppose Bibi Netanyahu’s leadership, his opposition to the two-state solution and deeply oppose how he is indulging the far right as it relates to what’s going on in the West Bank.”

    I don’t regret it. That’s exactly what they’re doing, and apologizing for it just makes you seem like an insufferable douche.

    Israel is one of the worst Apartheit states in the world. There is no need to apologize for the truth.

      Do you think the DNC that proffered such jems as Schumer, Clinton, Pelosi, Harris and rejected Sanders for one, is capable of coming to a real opposition? Republicans and Democrats alike are both in the pocket and under control of the Israeli Fascists. You’re already cooked because no one wants to say and run on the clear and obvious truth for fear of pissing off the Israeli puppetmasters. Oh noes! We’ll be called anti-semitic. Israel’s influence is executed through the wealth and power of Wall Street and Hollywood to name two.

      (Just to be clear, Jews are cool, as long as they aren’t supportive of the genocidal fascist apartheird potential or reality of Israel and America.)

      What’s Schumer’s job again? My dude, you’re already cooked.

        You have it backwards. Israel is America’s foreign policy. Our government wants them to be the big swinging dick in the middle east because it furthers the economic interests of capital. Corporate dems know that genocide looks bad but they fundamentally want to keep our rabid attack dog armed and dangerous.

      Shit Americans say: “Oh no it’s clearly the Dems who are wrong, it’s not some fat old man running around naked swinging his tiny dick”

      “It’s clearly Hillarybidenkamalas fault I could not get off my ass and vote”

      Etc

        They could have had some normal politician that says normal politician things. With some overly diplomatic stance on Israel.

        They chose whatever this is supposed to be right now. They chose genocide PLUS Trump Riviera on top of the bones.

    Do you want little genocide? or big genocide? If you don’t vote and choose which of the two piles of shits you want to support, we will take all your tax money to get you extra ethnic cleansing and extra genocide

      Lol. This is like sending back their soup because there was a hair in it and getting back a bucket of pigshit to replace the soup. And then yelling at everybody to stop criticizing their preference to not eat a strand of hair in their soup. Oh and because they are picky about the hair in their soup everyone else in the restaurant also gets buckets of pigshit.

    Here he is, another hypocritical politician. Unfortunately, they are all the same, greedy for power and money, whether it is Trump or this poor guy. “Cheap politicians are bought cheaply” (an old proverb)
