[Power 2 the People]

Kudos to Beto for drawing the distinction between support for Israel and support for Netanyahu.

4. That's not news to anyone

who knows anything
He is a racist pig and that's for starters

When does this asshole go to prison?

5. Well, that will siphon off some voters, no doubt.

We're beginning to see the primary candidates trying to differentiate themselves from the rest. Bernie announced that he doesn't want "Open Borders" recently. And now Beto is going after Netanyahu. Appealing to specific groups of voters is going to be the trend, now, for a while.

It should be interesting to watch.

6. You say that like it's a bad thing but Beto is right.

Netanyahu has been Isreal's elected leader for ten years now so I presume he reflects the nation's values. Otherwise I don't give the home of HA Goodman clicks.

7. As an American Jew, I agree with Beto

I do not support Bibi and hope that he is voted out

8. No lies were told.

Especially the way Netanyahu treated President Obama.

So crooked, too.
