"Within five years at most, those very same comments will be accepted wisdom by the leftmost 1/3 of the American political spectrum and they will routinely voice such views in the public discourse without shame or remorse. No one will lose their job because they advocate the destruction of Israel."

this is why it's so bad for Israel. The discussion about continuing support is now on the table. I never thought I'd see this in America.

"Stop Funding Israeli Terror,"


Pelosi heckled at liberal activist conference
By Jordan Fabian - 06/08/10 11:05 AM ET
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was heckled during a speech she gave before a gathering of liberal activists in Washington on Tuesday.

A short YouTube video recording has emerged of the flap at the "America's Future Now" conference. Protesters unfurled at least three banners, one of which read "Stop Funding Israeli Terror," likely a reference to the Gaza flotilla controversy.

At points, Pelosi can be heard raising her voice trying to speak over the protesters' shouts.

President Barack Obama has also been interrupted by protesters at campaign events twice this year; each time over the "Don't ask, don't tell" policy against openly gay military service members.
