Need more than one word for clarity

Standing with our allies is not an act of cowardice.

You do realize the majority of the votes came from the Democratic leaders.

Pat Buchanan was castigated by the press for calling Congress "Israeli-occupied territory". This is a perfect example of what he was talking about. Now all of this noise over alleged Russian interference in the 2016 Presidential election when we have a foreign lobby that has bought off Congress?

When Israel is wrong , and only boycotted two women . Because they couldn't stand up to Trump. They should be boycotted. But I have a feeling Israel just uses the Conservative Christian anyway.

They have been since the nation was formed.

Has zero to do with them, has everything to do with a globally recognized boycott designed to damage a sovereign nation.

We may have been their ally, they have in no way been ours, ever. It's a one sided subsidy to a wealthy nation that acts like an entitled child the moment we question how it in any way is in our national interest to be entangled with them.

When it's standing with our "allies" against the rights of American citizens to freely express their political opinions, yes it is cowardice.

You mean all 209 Democrats who voted for it are "Democratic leaders?"

 

[TreWalker]

No, meaning if the Demo leaders did not agree the 209 would not have voted 'yea'.

This was a month ago. As you should know.

What has Israel done for us?

How was their freedom of expression stopped?

Why should we need to take a vote in Congress to condemn a non-violent movement aimed at using financial leverage to change policies that the movement finds unfavorable?
