MSNBC Guest Compares Israel Responding to Hamas Rockets to Mass Killings of Blacks During Jim Crow

EXCERPT:

KHALIDI: “The images that people are seeing on social media, they cannot unsee. And I think you have changes going on, things like the Tulsa riots, things like Black Lives Matter are seen as connected by a very large number of people not just in the Democratic Party, but particularly young people on campuses, young people all over the country. And I think this is something that's actually happening not just in the United States. There is a lot of pushback. There will be even more pushback. But I think people are moving in the direction of understanding that much — many of these bromides, 'Israel has a right to defend itself,' well, do Palestinians have the right to defend themselves? 'Israel’s security.' The most insecure people in Palestine and Israel are Palestinians, and we talk about Israel’s security. If people are people and we believe in human rights, which the United States supposedly stands for, then the kinds of things that we expect for ourselves, we should expect for people not just in Israel, but also in Palestine.”
