Pennsylvania Governor and potential vice presidential nominee Josh Shapiro tries to distance himself from a recently uncovered op-ed he wrote in college in which he identified as a former volunteer in the IDF and argued that the Palestinians are too “battle-minded” to pursue peace with Israel.
Palestinians will not coexist peacefully,” Shapiro also wrote in the op-ed titled “Peace Not Possible.”
“They do not have the capabilities to establish their own homeland and make it successful even with the aid of Israel and the United States. They are too battle-minded to be able to establish a peaceful homeland of their own,” added the then-20-year-old.
Veep Not Possible.
People need to take to whatever socials they might use to make it clear to the KH campaign that this asshole will tank her popularity. Just because he was much younger when he wrote that doesn’t make it ok when Israel is literally committing genocide and deliberately fouling up every opportunity for a ceasefire today. The world has had its eyes opened to what they’re doing in a way that cannot be denied ever again. This man made himself toxic with what he wrote and it’s his own fault that he isn’t qualified for the job.
Why do have no faith that the DNC will pick the best candidate that will help her win? I feel they will find a way to sabotage her run because they can’t let us have a progressive VP. They probably will choose this asshat or someone worse. I hope I am wrong.
They picked Hillary, Tim Caine, and Biden. It’s not like they have a great track record in recent years.
Or she’ll tank it herself by revealing that, pretty speeches aside, her actual policies and ideals are completely dependent on what’s most advantageous for her at any given moment.
I hope to be proven wrong, but other than being the first presidential candidate to ever mention the security and self-determination of Palestinians, (which is admittedly huge, as far as statements go) her record so far isn’t that convincing…
