Coleman and Franken shake hands, agree on support for Israel

• If Hamas agreed to lay down its weapons, there would be no more war in Gaza. If Israel agreed to lay down its weapons, there would be no more Israel.

• McCollum and Ellison have objected.

• Kaiser, huh? That's an interesting name. Sounds kinda....I don't know....German or something. I mean, I'm not saying, I'm just saying. Just implying ugly things. You know how that goes, right Emily?

• No response from Emily Kaiser. All in the name of bigotry.

• Well, this just goes to show the strong Israeli lobby in the US. All, I mean all politicians support Israel's illegal butchering of the Palestinians. BTW, not all Jews support the artocities. Franken and Coleman support but they do not represent all Jews.

• Yeah, that line, "all in the name of Israel of course," really jumped out at me, as well. I don't want to read too much into a quickly-written off-hand phrase in a blog, of course. And, indeed, there is little else that these two men do agree upon--for whatever the reason might me. But, obviously, this could have been phrased much better!

• "All in the name of Israel of course." And what's THAT supposed to mean, Emily? Were you referring to the fact that both Franken and Coleman are Jewish? Why don't you come out and say it, then?
