The reason residents of the Palestinian authority don’t get to vote is that they don’t hold elections. Like many backward states, one election is enough. The President should spend his time worrying about getting Puerto Ricans and illegal aliens the vote. Heck, why not Mexicans.
None the less, the “intellectual class” has for some time pushed the apartheid line at Israel. Our intelligencia has resurrected the 1930s prejudices against Jews. In their view, the Israelis are European Jewish refugees that oppress legitimate Palestinians. In other words, much of the world has bought the Islamist lies.
