Schumer outdoes Trumpites at AIPAC conference with anti-Palestinian bias

Mondoweiss - The AIPAC policy conference has featured one prominent Democrat after another seeking to outflank the Trump administration in expressions of love for Israel. Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer took the prize by slinging mud at Palestinians and Arabs as the reason there is no end to the conflict. Schumer said the problem is the Palestinians "don't believe in the Torah. So that's the reason there is not peace."

Genocide against non-believers is justified by the need to eliminate bad beliefs. Ultimately this is the ideology of nuclear war which will be with us as long as there are mass destruction industries among humans. The IQ of chimpanzees is not significantly less than homo sapiens. Given our phylogeny the chances of survival are of concern.; March 8, 2018 at 6:42 AM
