“CNN political commentator Van Jones joins Boris Sanchez and Brianna Keilar to discuss recent protests in Los Angeles.”

From CNN

This is somewhat ironic, because Joe Walsh on Threads today was complaining about the lack of coverage from the mainstream media of these anti-Semetic protests in Los Angeles today:

“It is Jew-hatred. It’s not anti-Zionism. It’s not anti-Israel. It’s antisemitism. It’s Jew-hatred. And it’s on the rise here in America & around the world. And it must be defeated. And all us non-Jews must stand with our Jewish brothers & sisters arm and arm to defeat it.”

From Joe Walsh

And I get the fact that if there were Neo-Nazis who were physically going after Arabs, in an Arab-American community, that most of the mainstream media would be all over that. But Jews are also an ethnic minority in America and at least CNN thought enough about that, to bring 1 of their left-wing Democratic analysts, Van Jones, to criticize these left-wing, anti-Semetic protestors, against these Jewish-Americans in Los Angeles. –

I completely agree with Van Jones here. 20-30 years ago, he would’ve been 1 of those young, hipster, left-wing, political revolutionaries, whose trying to take down “The Man”. (I’m having some fun with this) But he’s in his mid-50s now and I guess what comes with age, comes experience and wisdom.

I don’t agree with everything that the State of Israel is doing in Gaza right now either. Yes, they need to take down Hamas and at least get them out of the Gazan Government. But they have to let the everyday Palestinians there flee from the violence and get to a safe territory, while they’re taking down Hamas.

As Van Jones said: “You protest the policy. Not the people.” Jewish-Americans have the same right to life and right to exist as every other ethnic group in America. And therefor have the same right to life and right to exist as everyone else.
