Senator Cory Booker, who is one of the Democrats contending for his party's 2020 nomination for president, is pleading political negligence, claiming that he didn't bother to read a sign that he allowed himself to be photographed holding.  Booker, who has raised considerable money from pro-Israel Jewish groups, apparently got carried away with intersectional enthusiasm at the Netroots Nation confab and was unable to get a clue from the t-shirt on the woman standing next to him that proclaimed Palestine's virtue in the realm of "feminist/queer refugee racial justice" that he might be endorsing a radical point of view.

The professionally printed sign reads, "From Palestine to Mexico all the walls have got to go."

As Aaron Bandler points out at Jewish Journal, that slogan was crafted by the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights, and "standing next to Booker on his left is Leah Muskin-Pirret, the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights' government associate."

The U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights, according to a Tablet exposé, is the "American umbrella group of the BDS [Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions] movement" and has funneled its money toward Islamic terror groups like Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).

The U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights has also celebrated convicted terrorist Rasmea Odeh[.]

[BenLurkin]

[Bommer]

Well then he is disqualified for all offices for being a dumbass! if he can’t read, why the hell is he voting on bills.

I don’t like the guy but people wanted a picture, good looking guy or gal (hmmmm) hands him a sign, quick glance says it is NO WALL, Girl in black has an apparent ANTI-Palestine shirt on so MAYBE the guy can just be accused of not paying attention.

Would have been ‘better’ if he was holding sign with right hand with left hand out of sight ESPECIALLY with the grinning fool standing next to him.

So, I don’t think it is ‘proper’ calling it an anti-Israel sign.

But when MSM puts one in its sites, BOHICA...

And Rosenstein didn’t read the FISA warrant he signed.

And Clinton administration official Josh Steiner lied to his diary.

He was good with the queer part though.

What the sign read: "From Palestine to Mexico all the walls have got to go."

What Booker wanted the sign to say: "From Palestine to Mexico all the Jews have got to go."

[SkyDancer]

Like it was in Hebrew or something?

[Da Coyote]

If he’s lying, he’s a dumbass.
If he’s not lying, he’s a lying dumbass.
Either way, he’s a Democrat.

[17th Miss Regt]

If he can’t read, why the hell is he voting on bills?

Because people keep bringing him wads of bills and telling him how to vote.

[RightGeek]

Gay and Stupid

[ROCKLOBSTER]

lying dumbass...Democrat

Same thing.

[leaning conservative]

So, you’re a senator & you hold a sign that you have no idea what it says & you take a picture???? Then you are stupid beyond belief.

[Olog-hai]

I see that AT now has no comments section on articles about Israel. That’s thanks to a bunch of antisemitic trolls having ruined the comments section in the past.
