Progressive Dem Caucus Chair Condemns Israel as a Racist State, says Palestinian Statehood increasingly “Unimaginable”

A minority of Americas politicians are ready to take a stand against Israel more support Russia and India who behave in in much the same way.

Remarks Saturday by Rep. Pramila Jayapal may signal the end of the “liberal except on Palestine” ploy of most Congressional Democrats, who decry police brutality against US minorities but are perfectly all right with Israeli government repression of the Palestinians being kept stateless and without rights. She explicitly denounced Israel as a “racist state.”

The major umbrella for the Israel lobbies in the United States, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), may have picked this fight when it threw its campaign money behind successful attempts to defeat rising members of the Progressive Democratic Caucus, which Jayapal chairs. Game on.
