Two Other Voices Speak On Israel

 Howard Dean was the Democratic Governor of Vermont from 1991 to 2003.  In 2004 he ran for President of the United States.  From 2005 to 2009 he was the Chairman of the Democratic National Committee.  And he is yet another Democratic Israel-hater.  Here is a Tweet from Dean:  "I've been there and I think our alliance with Israel is important (for) both the US and Israel.  And Israel is in fact, an apartheid state."

Liar!  No, Israel is not an apartheid state.  Unless they changed the definition to mean that, although the minority (Palestinians) are doctors and lawyers and judges, and hold seats in the legislature (the Knesset) and even hold ministerial offices in the current government, if that is the definition of apartheid, then yes, Israel meets that definition.  As do most Western countries.  

Comedian and actress Sarah Silverman is Jewish.  But she was disappointed with the Squad, and just didn't get their vote against the funding of Iron Dome.  Silverman:  "It's frustrating because my girls, ma gurls in the Squad, really didn't want it to be funded...all the Iron Dome does is protect civilians from getting hit by missiles and bombs.  That's all it does!  It's not a weapon!...Voting against the Iron Dome defense system is voting for dead Israelis and that's Muslims, Christians and Jews."

And Silverman said this:  "I'm really trying to understand it, though...none of them talk about Hamas!  No one in the Squad is bringing up Hamas.  I can't - it's so bizarre."  Poor Sarah.  Of course she does not get it, because notwithstanding her occasional support for Israel, she is a leftist.  

Silverman:  "It just seems to prove the point that I didn't think existed which is, um, people only really like Jews if they're suffering.  Dead Jews get a lot of honor."  Welcome to the party, Sarah.  Welcome to the party.
