Republicans Scold Elizabeth Warren for Echoing Ariel Sharon on Israeli Occupation

( It is ridiculous to portray Warren as promoting harm to Israel, completely ridiculous. The GOP is nuts on this issue. )



Right-wing Israelis, and their supporters in the United States, have spent the last 48 hours venting their fury at Sen. Elizabeth Warren, since the Massachusetts Democrat told a young Jewish activist that she would press Israel to end its military rule over millions of disenfranchised Palestinians in territories it seized by force in 1967.

To be more precise, Warren’s critics, led by the Republican Jewish Coalition, have expressed outrage that she said “yes — so, I’m there” when asked, as she campaigned for the presidency in New Hampshire on Monday, if she would commit to push the Israeli government “to end occupation.”

( excerpt ) In fact, Warren’s comments were not recorded secretly, they were filmed openly by IfNotNow, a group of young American Jews who want their community’s support for the Israeli occupation to end, as one of their members, Becca Lubow, posed for a photo with the senator at a public event.
