I'm on @simonschuster 's email list & learned that the same company that won't publish a book by @HawleyMO is putting out one by @SouljahBooks , famous for her advocacy for murder of white people which earned her a rebuke by @BillClinton . Interesting ethical standard for authors.

Obama’s moral equivalence between Hamas and Israel encourages hate. His belief that both sides are wrong isn’t “complexity.” It’s amoral and a reminder that his appeasement of Iran means that there is Jewish blood on his hands. I explain in @JNS_org .
