Marc Lamont Hill tore into Robert Kraft’s defense of barring Macklemore from Gillette Stadium, saying that treating“Free Palestine” as anti-Jewish echoes claims that Black Lives Matter was “anti-white.”
Hill also explained how Kraft’s language about “innocent Palestinians” draws a line between Palestinians deemed worthy of sympathy and those who resist occupation: “They admire the ones that don’t throw the rock.”
“The oppressor acts reasonable by saying, ‘Let’s split the pie.’ But it’s not your pie… every time I say, ‘How are we going to split the pie?’ I take another slice.”

"My father Michael Massaroli...you do my dad's legacy and the legacy of all these victims no honor by using this tragedy to spread hate. We have seen a medley of people come up today, of all races, all religions, all creeds and this tragedy is just that, it's a tragedy. I've had to grow up and spend the past 25 years seeing people use it to hate on our Muslim brothers and sisters, to hate on people who don't look like them. That's wrong. That does no honor to the victims here...please stop."

Land of the free, by the way.
US House passes legislation that blocks federal aid for colleges and universities if they engage in discriminatory commercial or academic boycotts against Israel in 237-169 vote.

Every week, members of both parties in the "US Congress" pass a bill or resolution to protect and serve Israel, pledge their allegiance to Israel, make pilgrimage there, send billions more there.
But it's the ones who notice and object who are "obsessed" with Israel: not them.
i think it’s remarkable that marjorie taylor green spoke out against laura loomers insane racist rants against angie nixon before most prominent dems and the entire republican party did.
As the nation prepares to mark 25 years since Sept. 11, 2001, Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Michigan, may be facing the risk of renewed scrutiny and fresh political attack. https://t.co/BHsuxDhOZj
