Jimmy Dore reports ... never saw anyone else mention this in the news:
Just one counterexample:
That video is from January. The "report" I was referring to, that I had not seen mentioned in "news reports" recently, was actually the senate vote on the Bill. At least 20 Democrats voted Yay. Sorry if that was unclear. Sorry you cannot stomach Jimmy Dore too.
The issue I was focusing on in my comments above was not so much about Ilhan Omar personally but about the Israel Lobby/AIPAC
and the Israeli Governments ongoing attempts to manipulate anti-BDS Laws being passed in the USA
which has been their mission of late. I recommend The Lobby doco (links already provided here) as a good place to start - IF you wish to better inform yourself of the issue.
South Africa BDS and the recent Laws voted on in Ireland are useful comparisons with what is been attempted today in 2019 by the Israeli Govt and the Israel Lobby in the US Congress.
So when I was a teenager in my private school uniform going to South African apartheid protests after school in the 1970s the question people would be advised to ask themselves is - at that time what would have been the public political reaction had the PM Botha tweeted that
"People like me were nothing more than an Anti-White Racist Xenophobic Anti-democratic Communist bastard!" Even though I was simply an everyday Anglo-Saxon teenage dufus who disagreed with his Government Policy? What do you image the media and politicians response would have been in the UK, in Australia, in France, in the Netherlands, in Italy,
in Austria etc at that time?
That Botha was right?
That it would be a very good thing if Botha could arrange for a secretive dishonest deceptive South African Lobby to pressure and blackmail/gaslight Congress any way he wanted to until he got his way
no matter what the US Constitution and social norms said about such matters?
Like that's all Kosher in the 70s was it? Acceptable behaviour
to pass laws banning teenagers from protesting the Apartheid Regime.... including promoting BDS or protesting the Vietnam War and Conscription.
These are the kind of things YOU need to seriously think about
properly!
