"Make no mistake .... what are we to make of Obama's statement at the UN quoted above. Does that mean that those Americans who criticize Israel are guilty of injustice in the opinion of the president of the United States?
If that is true, what is his opinion of the value of the 1st amendment to the US Constitution when weighed against the desire of Israel and its supporters to suppress voices that "detract from Israeli legitimacy?"
Will criticism of Israel eventually be considered to be a federal "hate crime?"
Will a desire to see a congressional investigation of the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty be the same?
There are reports now of break-ins in the houses of people who do not support Israel. Will the government do anything about that?
President Obama declared himself today."

The repression against BDS activists in France is reaching a new scale with the prosecution of a French MP, Alima Boumediene-Thiery (member of the French Senate) who has participated in a BDS action in the Paris region one year ago and who is a supporter of the BDS campaign. Her trial is due to take place in Pontoise (North of Paris) on Thursday October 14. She is accused (like all the other French BDS activists prosecuted) of “incitation to racial hatred” and “discrimination against the Israeli nation”.
We're "catching up" to Europe, but not there yet.
