Jamaal Bowman (D-New York) takes confusing stands on Israel while, across the Atlantic Ocean, Britain’s Labour Party promises to recognize a Palestinian state if it returns to power in Parliament.

Did you know that a mere four-hour flight from London lies a self-proclaimed Arab state chafing under a decades-long occupation? And that their haughty overlords, motivated in part by dubious historical claims to the land, partly by naked territorial aggrandizement, annually encourages thousands of its settlers to move in and tilt the demographic balance in its favor?

The world wants us to believe that the Israelis are the monsters, even though they are defending themselves. The United Nations is no friend to Israel and spreads lies to the world.
