Governor Josh Shapiro (D-PA), who may have already been picked as Kamala Harris's VP running mate, chose to serve in Israel's army -- not America's -- as a young man.
Shapiro also wrote a column in college echoing the Jewish supremacist talking point that Palestinians need to be ruled over by Jews (who must act as their "babysitter," as he put it) because they are unable to govern themselves. Shapiro wrote in the University of Rochester's student paper the Campus Times: The only way the "peace plan" will be successful is if the Palestinians do not ruin it. I find it impractical to believe that factions of Arabs can miraculously unite in peace as Palestinians, so they can coexist with Israel. Rabin's people are unified and stand behind the basic premise that the value of the status quo was at a low point, they no longer want to see bloodshed or fight for the sake of fighting. Mr. Arafat cannot suggest that his people accept the plan, because he cannot represent such a splintered population.From The Philadelphia Inquirer, "Josh Shapiro once wrote that peace 'will never come' to the Middle East. He says his views have changed over 30 years.": In remarks to reporters Friday, Shapiro reiterated that the column does not represent his beliefs today. Shapiro has also been deeply critical of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whom he has described as "a dangerous and destructive force" and "one of the worst leaders of all time." In remarks to reporters last week, he said widespread suffering in Gaza is unacceptable, and has advocated for a two-state solution.Polls show some 70% percent of Israelis oppose Netanyahu, so Shapiro's criticism of him means nothing. In a sane country, Shapiro's statements would be completely disqualifying but in occupied America it's likely only going to help him and Harris raise even more money.
