MAGA2020 08/08/18 10:27:51 AM #1:	https://theintercept.com/2018/08/07/cory-booker-israel-palestine/ At the Netroots Nation conference in New Orleans this past weekend, which brands itself as a political convention for American progressive political activists, the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights attended panels, handed out literature, and advocated for the end of the occupation of Palestine to secure a just future for both Israelis and Palestinians. As part of that effort, members snapped a photo with Sen. Cory Booker D-N.J., during which he held a sign that clearly read, From Palestine to Mexico, All the Walls Have Got to Go.... ...Although he has a long history of strident pro-Israel advocacy, this year, Booker declined from speaking publicly at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, Americas prominent pro-Israeli government lobbying group although an AIPAC official told The Intercept that conference attendees met with him at his Capitol Hill offices following the event. It seemed as though Bookers choice to enthusiastically pose with a pro-Palestine sign might be part and parcel of his move to the left, but within hours, his campaign disavowed the whole thing. His spokesperson, Jeff Giertz, told the Jewish Telagraphic Agency that Booker was simply snapping photos with fans and that he had no idea what the sign actually read. Just before delivering a speech in New Orleans, Senator Booker was approached by dozens of people for photos, Giertz told JTA. In one instance, amid the rush, he was posing for a photo and was passed a sign to hold he didnt have time to read the sign, and from his cursory glance, he thought it was talking about Mexico and didnt realize it had anything to do with Israel. Giertz went on to defend the wall in question the separation barrier Israel has erected in the West Bank. [Booker] 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, he said... <cite>MAGA2020 posted [p:906483539] in Cory Booke...
