“In one instance, amid the rush, he was posing for a photo and was passed a sign to hold—he didn’t have time to read the sign, and from his cursory glance he thought it was talking about Mexico and didn’t realize it had anything to do with Israel.”
He didn’t have time to read the sign? How long would it have taken him to read a sign that was eleven words long? In order to stave off charges of antisemitism and support for the “Palestinian” jihad (which is widely shared among far-Left Democrats anyway), Booker would apparently have us believe that he is functionally illiterate. Should an illiterate really be serving in the United States Senate?
“Cory Booker Pictured With Anti-Israel Radicals, Holds Sign Calling for Elimination of Security Borders in Israel,” by Brent Scher, Washington Free Beacon, August 3, 2018 (thanks to the Geller Report):
New Jersey senator Cory Booker (D.) was pictured on Friday afternoon at the liberal Netroots Nation conference holding a sign calling for the removal of security borders in Israel, a policy proposal from a radical anti-Israel group with financial ties to terrorist groups.
Booker, standing next to radical activists from the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights, is holding a sign that says, “From Palestine to Mexico, all the walls have got to go,” a slogan used by the group in its call for the removal of Israeli security barriers used to protect its citizens from terrorist attacks.

The picture of Booker was posted by the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights, a radical activist group that supports anti-Israel campaigns such as the Boycott, Divest, and Sanction (BDS) movement and was recently found to be financially tied to designated terrorist groups such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
“Excited to be here at Netroots Nation talking with progressives like Sen. Cory Booker about our shared commitment to freedom, justice, and equality for all people,” the group wrote.
Booker’s senate office did not initially respond to an inquiry on the picture and whether he believes security barriers that prevent terrorists based in the West Bank and Gaza Strip from entering Israel should be removed, but after publication sent a statement claiming the New Jersey senator didn’t know what was written on the sign he was holding.
“Just before delivering a speech in New Orleans, Senator Booker was approached by dozens of people for photos,” said spokesman Jeff Giertz. “In one instance, amid the rush, he was posing for a photo and was passed a sign to hold—he didn’t have time to read the sign, and from his cursory glance he thought it was talking about Mexico and didn’t realize it had anything to do with Israel.”
Giertz added that Booker does believe security barriers are necessary as long as “active terrorist organizations threaten the safety of the people living in Israel.”
“He hopes for a day when there will be no need for security barriers in the State of Israel, but while active terrorist organizations threaten the safety of the people living in Israel, security barriers are unfortunate but necessary to protect human lives,” Giertz said….

Two unrelated points:
1. This will play very well with Cory Booker’s base as they are uniformly America- and Israel-hating radicals. Normal Americans find this despicable, but normal Americans already despise Cory Booker (and Senator Booker feels the same way about normal Americans).
2. Take a look at the black tee-shirt. “Palestine Feminist Queer Refugee Racial Justice”. If she wore that shirt in “Palestine” she would be beaten to death by an angry mob. The “Palestinians” that she is so crazy about take a very dim view of both feminists and homosexuals. In fact, the only place in the entire Middle East that she could wear that shirt safely is in the very country that she hates so much.

“She”? Cory Booker is a big dude.
Agree with most of the rest of your post, though.
blitz2b says
@gravenimage,
I believe the “she” that shortfattenxan is referring to the the woman to his right, wearing the black tee shirt.
shortfattenxan , These liberals snowflakes are so obviously stupid, that it’s not even funny. You’ve rightly pointed out what this idiot’s fate would be if she ventured into Palestinian territory wearing that irony.
Liberals truly believe they are champions of a utopian society, where the whole world is ready and willing to accept their ultra western liberal ideas.
These goof balls know absolutely nothing about life in an Islamic country and the status of women and queer individuals… It’s pathetic the way these ignoramuses walk around with rose colored glasses.
Terry Gain says
Saudi Arabia only needs a border to keep people in. Booker is an idiot. if Muslims are the best of people why are they fleeing Muslim countries in order to have a better life?
Buraq says
Or, perhaps: From Mexico to Palestine, hear the leftist-fascists whine!
Clowns!
somehistory says
He just didn’t have time to sound it out. Poor guy. He just can’t get anything right.
He knew what it said….after all, with whom was he standing?
may as well put down his rug and prey right there on the sidewalk.
The guy is outspoken…on every subject, but when it comes to whether Israel has a need for security borders, his “spokesman” responds. How about booker saying it?
J D S says
Booker would choke on words that upholds Israel…..proof..He’s with anti Israel radicals isn’t he…..Why didn’t his sign say America for Israel or something to that effect.
Dan says
It was equally an anti-Israel sign and an anti-American sign. Can we upset about both aspects?
Indiana Tom says
“Cory Booker Pictured With Anti-Israel Radicals, Holds Sign Calling for Elimination of Security Borders in Israel,”Why not? He is a Democrat.
Mac-101 says
And 85% American Jews vote Democrat? Why are they anti-Semitic?
.
This guy is a real Useful Idiot. What does he think will happen to his Black constituents when they are replaced with a hundred million + Hispanic voters?
Indiana Tom says
I really have no idea why Jews vote for the Democrats. Makes no sense.
Mac-101 says
I can understand why the Elites do, THEY want their NWO with THEM ruling over ALL. I can’t understand why the majority of the rest of the Jews vote Democrat when the Democrats in practice are against ALL that a true Lib believes in!
Wellington says
Well, Booker did go to Stanford.
mccode says
An educated fool.
Charles says
I find it poignantly ironic how the liberal left calls for the end of secure borders in Israel, yet ignore the string of assassinations of artists, bloggers and activists, like Qutub Rind, recently murdered in Bangladesh for alleged blasphemy. Israel can make only one mistake and its gone…forever. I find it even more ironic that the left is control by a Jewish cabal that run the media and the Democratic party. It seems that the middle class white Americans, falsely accused of fascism and antisemitism, are more principled allies of the Jewish State than the American “liberal” Jewish community who persistently maligns them.
carpediadem says
Jews do not “control” the Dems et al. You sure you’re an ally?
Lu says
“He didn’t have time to read the sign, and from his cursory glance he thought it was talking about Mexico and didn’t realize it had anything to do with Israel”
Nice try but not buying it … he knew all too well what the sign represents. Now he is in the damage control mode.
Really stupid tactic but as to a leftie, NOTHING HAPPENS TO HIM again.

What a load of tripe. Israel is not an apartheid state.
Lack of borders would destroy Israel–which is just what Ibrahim itace muhammed wants. He has said here that he looks forward to personally taking part in the genocide of the Jews.
And what is that “horrible condition of life” that “Palestinian” Muslims suffer? Why, not being able to slaughter Israelis with impunity.
WPM says
Moslems , Christians ,Jews are not segregate in Israel ,Israel has Moslem people elected to places in government. Moslems who are citizens of Israel have more freedom of speech, movement , higher standard of living over all then Moslems in Islamic run countries. Moslems of different sects can worship as they please in Israel unlike Iran and many other Islamic run countries. How many Christian and Jews can live lives of freedom to worship, speech , movement in any Islamic run country? Do Islamic countries have borders that keep people from entering them or leaving ,do they have people armed guarding them ? What would happen to a Christian or Jew who try to cross a border of an Islamic run country uninvited without showing a passport and his business of entering??

Once again Ibrahim…PALESTINE BELONGS TO THE JEWS Decreed by God himself…besides there are no such peoples as Palestinians except the Jews..Those there now are just a mish mash of tent dwelling Arabs and only God knows what others are mixed in and camped there, but none except Jews can truthfully be called Palestinian……Even you should know that. If you can read that is.

Wow–what is this, *six* identical comments from Ibby?
You can always tell when he is feeling especially unhinged, because he just wildly spams.
Nothing gets him as worked up as the idea of Jews living freely in Israel–nor their living much, much better than Muslims do in the surrounding Islamic crap holes.
