“Gavin Newsom bets antisemitism is the Democratic Party’s future” from the New York Post sums up the entire theme of this article. “Gavin Newsom endorsed the lie Tuesday that Israel is an ‘apartheid’ state — a damning sign of where the Democratic Party is headed, and how far it’s already sunk.”
If Newsom doesn’t know that Christian and Muslim Israeli citizens can vote and be elected to the Knesset, and that Israel’s laws protect all of its citizens equally, he is incompetent.
“All Israelis are treated equally under the law, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, religion or ethnicity.”
This is a lot more than can be said for violent Dark Age theocracies such as those in charge of outhouses (the family-friendly term for the word Donald Trump uses) like Gaza, Iran, Afghanistan, and so on. Rape, including of boys in Afghanistan, is commonplace along with violent discrimination against gay people like Hamas water-carrier Pete Buttigieg.
If Newsom knows this but says otherwise, he is a liar. He is lying about Israel to curry favor with extremists in Minneapolis, Dearborn (note inflammatory language like “Israel Occupation Forces” and the false accusation of genocide) and, as shown by Zohran Mamdani, New York City.
Now let’s talk about Pete Buttigieg, who also is being considered as a presidential contender. “Would he have voted for Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-Vt.) proposed arms embargo against Israel? Yes. Would he recognize a Palestinian state? Yes, as part of a two-state solution. Should the U.S. pass another 10-year agreement with Israel for foreign military aid? No.”
