Sesame Street's Maria bashes Israel on Twitter Sonia Manzano, who plays Maria on Sesame Street, has been bashing Israel on her Twitter feed (Hat Tip: Jack W). The actress sent out two pro-Palestinian messages relating to the latest unrest in the Middle East, first calling Israel bullies and then comparing the Jewish state to early American settlers who wiped out Native Americans. Israelis retaliate the simple recognition of Palestinians by UN by deciding to build 3,000 more settlements. Bullies! Why do Israelis need to be "recognized" by Palestinians. Did Native Americans need to "recognize" their tormentors? It's 'apartments' (actually housing units) - not 'settlements.' But I guess you can't really expect a moron to know how to tell the difference. So long as it's her twitter feed and not the publicly financed show, she's entitled to her opinion. Besides, given the other things for which Sesame Street has been in the news lately, support for the 'Palestinians' fits right in as just another Leftist political cause. It's not like she's thought about it or something. And I vote to cut off PBS's funding.... Labels: anti-Israel obsession, Sesame Street
