Closing Thought–31Jul19
I hate anything that tries to straddle the issue and make everyone happy….kinda like the straddle Trump did in Charlottesville when he said there were “good people on both sides”……
Now 2020 candidate Beto is trying to make everyone happy….his straddle is on the Middle East problems…….
The video of Beto O’Rourke in New Hampshire dancing around without answering an IfNotNow member’s question, “Would you commit to putting direct pressure on the Israeli government to end the occupation?” is now nearly two weeks old.
But it is worth watching/reading for how little O’Rourke says in four minutes– while making it a point to blame “both sides” for violence and bad leadership when the context was, atrocities experienced by Palestinians.
Beto O’Rourke blamed ‘both sides’ when asked about atrocities of Israeli occupation
This just eliminated him from my consideration.
Palestinians have their land stolen….homes demolished…..crops destroyed…..water confiscated…..children killed and maimed…..
Israelis get cash from US and live in luxury…..and that’s suffering?
Beto is a putz…..he was a flash in a pan from Texas…..he needs to stay home and work on Texas….he is NOT ready for Prime Time….the Middle has too many pretenders.
I have NO use for Beto and neither should any American that has a conscience.
Be Smart!

“Lego Ergo Scribo”
I cannot really see any candidate speaking out against Israel, and meaning it. For some reason, it seems that the Israelis now have overall control of the USA. How would the truth of that play out with Trump’s fan base, I wonder?
Best wishes, Pete.
It is their dark money in the politics…,AIPAC controls a lot of votes in the Congress. chuq
