I wonder if Brad Sherman's first allegiance is to the citizens of the USA or these of Israel? Do not want to bring he ethnic origins into it but he seems to be the most vocal on this issue on capital hill. As an Rep, he should be representing Americans and not Israel.It seems that a lot of people in US government seem to think that the US exists for the sole use of Israel. I wonder why he did not make the citizens arrest on the activists? He seems to want others to do it for him.

Palestinians will never gain US public support. We have too many bad memories of Palestinians blowing up innocent people, blowing up airliners, killing traveling Americans on planes and ships abroad. Muslims hate Americans and we feel it viscerally even though most Americans could not discern the difference between a Lebanese and a Jordanian. We mistrust everything Palestinians claim to be factual.We have seen Israelis soldiers locked up in Palestinian jail when mobbed by Palestinians the Palestinian police allowed the mob to murder the Israeli soldiers in their cells brutally by hand, then they ran outside with bloody hands to show the cameras their handiwork. Palestinians, Iranians, Muslims and Arabs are deeply anti-semetic and have learned fascism from the Nazis sent to the Middle East during WW2 with thousands of Gold Reich marks to persuade Arabs to go Nazi. To this day fascism is the main secular belief system of Muslims, Arabs, Iranians. Hamas the govt, of Gaza refuses the right of Israel to exist and has vowed for its total destruction, it uses every opportunity to further those goals including infiltrating peace groups that want to break the embargo of arms and missiles to Hamas which is the real intent of these actions against Israel.
