Senator Cory Booker, who was just forced to flee the Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel this past weekend, was seen in 2018 holding up a sign in support of pro-Palestine activists.
The image resurfaced on social media after news of Booker’s (D-NJ) harrowing experience.
“I was in Israel when the horrific attacks carried out by Hamas started on Saturday,” he wrote on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
“My team and I are now safe, but like many we are shaken, angered, and heartbroken by the hundreds killed, the thousands injured, those taken hostage, and all who are directly affected by these sickening terrorist attacks,” he added.
Booker recounted having to take refuge in a bomb shelter before being flown out on Sunday.
SNIP: Booker Caught Holding Up Anti-Israel Sign
An image from August of 2018 showing Booker holding an anti-Israel sign made the rounds following the Palestinian terror attacks over the weekend.
The US Campaign for Palestinian Rights posted the original image on X showing the Democrat senator attending the Netroots Nation conference.
Booker can be seen smiling with anti-Israel activists while holding up a sign that reads: “From Palestine to Mexico. All the Walls Have Got to Go.”

CORY BOOKER CLAIMS HE DIDN’T KNOW HE HELD A PRO-PALESTINE SIGN. NEW DETAILS CAST DOUBT ON HIS DENIAL
"Pro-Palestinian activists say they spoke briefly with Booker about their advocacy work before taking a picture with him holding a pro-Palestinian sign."

BUT, in the article details, Sen. Booker seems to have been unaware of the sign:
“Just before delivering a speech in New Orleans, Senator Booker was approached by dozens of people for photos,” Giertz told JTA. “In one instance, amid the rush, he was posing for a photo and was passed a sign to hold — he didn’t have time to read the sign, and from his cursory glance, he thought it was talking about Mexico and didn’t realize it had anything to do with Israel.”
Giertz went on to defend the wall in question — the separation barrier Israel has erected in the West Bank. “[Booker] hopes for a day when there will be no need for security barriers in the State of Israel, but while active terrorist organizations threaten the safety of the people living in Israel, security barriers are unfortunate but necessary to protect human lives,” he said.
Giertz’s statement echoes the pro-wall rationale used by the Israeli government, but that reasoning ignores the fact that the barrier extends far into Palestinian territory, providing Israel an opportunity to continue to expand settlements. The international human rights community’s position on the wall reflects leftist critiques that are rooted in an objection to Israel’s choice to build on Palestinian land and displace Palestinian people — not an objection to Israel protecting itself.
Even former President George W. Bush, no left-winger, was initially quite critical of the barrier. “It is very difficult to develop confidence between the Palestinians and Israel with a wall snaking through the West Bank,” he said. He later backed down on his criticisms when the Israeli government pressed forward.
Claudius saw it all. The poison is bubbling up now.
T-Bone’s friend!
Making sure these democrats are seen for what they are.... he will never be president.
Farticus.
That WAY BACK MACHINE Internet website is forever like death and taxes.
and the POS was in Israel... BECAUSE???
Unless you’re octogenarian journalist Taylor Lorenz in which case your connections get info on you erased from Internet Archive and Wayback.
Yes, she did that.
While many Americans were trapped, missing or held hostage this “American leader” ran away to safety and left his countrymen behind. That is all you will ever need to know about Corey Booker.
Corey Booker is a piece of fecal matter shaped vaguely like a human being. In that regard he’s like many of his fellow Democrats.
Man are lefties stupid
The Democrat base will vote for them regardless. Democrat voters are for the most part brain dead zombies who have lost (if they ever had it) the ability of critical thinking
