As Israeli apartheid grows even more brazen, and as the Israeli gov't continues to go after the country's judicial system, those numbers will only swell. The masks have come off entirely and, barring some unforeseen change, liberal Americans won't tolerate it much longer. 2/

The party establishment knows this. They read the numbers & know what’s coming. They see what’s happening in Palestine & recognize that a growing number of party leaders will, in the next years, most likely take Squad-like positions on apartheid, and they want to prevent this. 3/

The Dems have an apparatus made up of organizations and people whose entire goal is to whip Democrats who speak out about apartheid back into their “rightful place.” From @DemMaj4Israel to @ADL to @RepRitchie , the goal is to stop the Squadization of the discourse on Palestine. 4/

@DemMaj4Israel @ADL @RepRitchie But punishing left-liberal Democrats like @RepJayapal for describing what it takes to maintain apartheid & colonialism (yes, racism, and a lot of it) won’t magically make the party base sympathize with Israel. It will likely have the opposite effect. 5/

@DemMaj4Israel @ADL @RepRitchie @RepJayapal Palestine has become one of the central issues of American progressive politics, and no amount of silencing members of Congress, anti-BDS legislation, or faux accusations of antisemitism will be able to stop this. 6/

@DemMaj4Israel @ADL @RepRitchie @RepJayapal So many resources are spent shutting down speech on Israel by the same leadership that has no problem wearing Kente cloth & condemning American racism. They will learn, perhaps the hard way, that they were way better off spending their energy on actually fighting apartheid. END.

@edokonrad Please @UnrollHelper

@edokonrad why are they in trouble? Totally reasonable

@_oddtree_ ❤️

@edokonrad My brother Edo, thank you.

@edokonrad Well said. The jig is up. AIPAC et al can’t continue to shut out the truth

@edokonrad @HughJaeger Great news

@edokonrad The trouble is that 38% still support apartheid.

@edokonrad Great points, Edo. Would you share your source?

@edokonrad @leahmcelrath They need to stop funding Israel like they do. It’s US money that citizens pay going to them allowing such brazen actions.

@edokonrad @nkulw to be fair both parties have no trouble not following what voters want in foreign policy

@edokonrad @feather_sweater What is right to do? Condemn Israel.

@edokonrad Palestine is the real settler/colonialist apartheid state. And they’re Islamofascist on top of that.
