Elder of ZiyonIt's happened again.
One of these columns shows a (slightly edited) email from J-Street. The other shows an email from the BDSers known currently as the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights.
See if you can tell which is which.
As President Donald Trump prepares to meet tomorrow with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, we also wanted to make sure you were aware of another important policy development that you can impact. On Thursday, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee will hold a hearing and vote on David Friedman’s nomination to be ambassador to Israel. You’ve already sent more than 6,000 letters to Senators opposing the nomination of this extremist who denies Palestinian rights, funds and identifies with the Israeli settler movement, and viciously attacks all who disagree with his abhorrent ideology. Now, we need you to pick up your phones and call your two Senators to oppose Friedman’s nomination. | Two days from now, the Senate will begin its deliberations on Trump’s nominee for US Ambassador to Israel, David Friedman. This is a man who called President Obama an anti-Semite. And, in contrast with everyone who has held this position since 1967, he’s a major supporter of the Israeli settlement movement. In fact, he’s raised millions of dollars for one of the most extreme settlements in the West Bank. Right now, we need you to call your senators and tell them to vote NO on David Friedman’s nomination. Every Senator needs to know that a vote to confirm Friedman is a vote against America’s commitment to Middle East peace. Today is the day. Let’s flood the Senate with calls opposing Trump’s nominee for US Ambassador to Israel. |
(If you read carefully, you can figure it out - only J-Street pretends that treating Israel like a banana republic helps Middle East peace.)
