What a striking illustration of the difference in power between Israel and Palestine.

Try to imagine someone in the US being pressured to support Palestine by some business. It's laughable, yet Israel's influence on businesses, government and our corporate media is undeniable.

They have one of the most well-funded superpacs and lobbying groups in the country for the explicit purpose of tanking any politicians who criticize israel or show support of Palestine (United Democracy Project). I don't want any foreign country lobbying on our soil for politicians, whether it be Israel, Russia or China.

it also illustrates how fake all the "free speech" guys who insist we need to stick up for Nazi rhetoric are--the moment you say something they think is politically incorrect (and, to be clear, i think some of these letters have said some really dumb shit) it's immediate blacklists and life-ruining consequences.
