Geraldo Rivera: The Voice of Reason

Hey, you takes ’em where you can get ’em:

’50-year-old Palestinians… have never lived in freedom their whole lives,’ Rivera says on Fox, defending Tlaib by Phil Weiss.

It is absolutely outrageous that two sitting members of the Congress of the United States of America, a country that gives Israel over $3 billion a year in aid, were denied entry into the country. I am shocked that the ambassador did not mention 52 years of Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories. These are people who are being denied their human rights. They can’t freely travel. The fact that the congresswoman from Detroit could not go and visit her grandmother– I just think that if it were not Israel and it was not the Jews, if it was any other country that took this action, we would all be outraged.

… Why is it a stunt– a woman wants to see her grandmother in an occupied country? It’s a stunt! There are 50-year old Palestinians that have never lived in freedom their whole lives… I have friends on the West Bank, I see that they cannot travel freely. They can’t even bring their relatives in when they get married. This is an occupied country.

I know, I know, what a horrible anti-Semite he must be. Except, “Rivera called himself ‘a Jewish American and a fervent Zionist,’ said he was comforted by Trump’s support for Israel, and showed off his Star of David tattoo.”

Maybe the thing is that he knows the first thing about it and cares at all about truth and fairness. Or something.
