Senator Lindsey Graham is considered to be one of the most pro-Israel members of Congress. It’s difficult to imagine why. In speaking to the Jerusalem Post at the recent Republican Jewish Coalition summit, Graham trotted out the old two-state solution from its well-earned grave, dusted it off, and insisted that without it, Israel has no sustainable future.

"Being pro-Israel means telling hard truths," said Graham. "The only path that keeps Israel Jewish and democratic is a two-state framework, when the conditions are real. That is the reality friends should say out loud."

Graham claims to be a friend to Israel. But what kind of a friend tells Israel it must give up land, hand it over to bad people, and let them move in and rule it? Does Graham have a God complex? Because God Himself does not seem to have endorsed this plan. God granted that land to the Jews, not to anyone to else, and most especially not to the bestial neighbors.

Therefore, Senator, speaking between friends, I have questions:

What right do you have, Lindsey Graham?

What right do you have to carve up our land and give it away to our enemies—speaking of it so matter-of-factly, as if it were a foregone conclusion, telling us that the only way to get peace is to give away our ancestral lands to the baby-killers who burned, beheaded, and raped our people?

Of what faith are you that you would take the Holy Land away from us? That you would separate the Jews from Judea?"

But apparently, the good senator doesn’t think of himself in this way, as a thief. He has ideas! "Hamas must be gone as a governing and fighting force,” said Graham. “Then you put Gaza in the hands of Arabs who do not want to kill all the Jews—Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and others. They reconstruct Gaza. They change the school system so it does not glorify killing Jews. You devolve authority based on performance. If they cannot meet the metrics, they do not get the power. Meanwhile, Israel gets new security boundaries and the right to act."

How lucky is Graham to have insider information. He knows which Arabs wish to kill all the Jews and which do not. He also believes that world opinion trumps Israel’s, even when it renders Jews unsafe.
“If you want to marginalize the Jewish state, go down that road,” says Graham. “It will do more damage to Israel’s future than any bomb Iran could ever build. You would lose support here in America, and you would isolate Israel from the world.”

Lindsey Graham is smart. He knows that there are a whole lot of Muslims. For some reason he thinks this means that Israel has to let them move in. “There are a billion Muslims. If you imagine a new Middle East with no Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, you are living in a dream world,” says Graham.

In playing the numbers game, Graham somehow misses the fact that there are 22 Muslim Arab states in the region. He wants the Jews to also give them eastern Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and Gaza. But do they have to live in these places? Is there no arable land left in any of those 22 Arab states where Israel’s nasty neighbors might reasonably reside alongside other Muslims who speak their language and share their culture?

Senator Lindsey Graham professes to be a Baptist and a born-again Christian. How then does he simply ignore the fact that God gave Israel to the Jews? Graham postures as Israel's ally, yet wishes us to accept terrorists as our eternal neighbors and relinquish our ancestral lands to them.

Is this your idea of turning the other cheek, Lindsey Graham?

If so, fine—turn yours if you must, but please, spare the Jews. That doctrine is part of your faith, not ours.

Our Talmud says something else altogether: "If someone is coming to kill you, rise up and kill him first."

For us, self-defense is not optional—it's a sacred imperative.

Said Arikat is the Washington bureau chief for the Palestinian Al Quds newspaper. Every day, he attends the State Department press briefings, and more often than not he asks a question or two.

The questions themselves are often loaded; they are attempts to drive a wedge between the US and Israel, or to put unfounded accusations against Israel on the record. Arikat tries to get the spokesperson to condemn Israel for anything and everything conceivable. Generally, the spokesperson - currently Ned Price - does not take the bait.

Yesterday, however, Arikat sneaked some antisemitism into a follow-up question about the Iran deal:
Last question. Are you concerned with the level and intensity of Israelis rallying opposition to this deal? I mean, this is – this comes out in modes of expression or statements by Senator Cotton, for instance, or Senator Lindsey Graham, or Senator Ted Cruz, and so on. Or are you just fine with that; they do whatever they want?   
His question presupposes the idea that Israel controls many prominent members of the Senate. Furthermore, it assumes that no one would oppose the Iran deal based on their own analysis; the senators are slavishly following the dictates of the Jewish state. 

The "they" in the final phrase is referring to Israel, not the senators - is the US fine with Israel freely controlling much of Congress?

This is not a hard hitting question by a journalist trying to uncover the truth. This is propaganda, an attempt to normalize anti-Israel and antisemitic attitudes in the US. The audience is the other reporters and the people who watch the briefings; Arikat wants them to subconsciously accept the idea that the US has a "Zionist occupied government."  And every day, he is given a platform to do exactly that - a platform provided by the US government itself. 

Ned Price brushed aside the question as if Arikat was asking whether the senators can do whatever they want, not Israel: " I’m going to let lawmakers speak for themselves." This was not the proper response. Arikat's antisemitism should have been called out, immediately and forcefully. 

Because otherwise, it takes root and grows.
