Do you think Palestinian Americans demanding accountability from those the US government asserts are their “leaders” but won’t even name makes me and these 548 people “sad, pathetic trolls”? How are you so arrogant and contemptuous, Jim? docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Any person of principle would and should object to be used as window dressing by @Ablinken, so he can falsely appear "evenhanded" by talking to "Palestinian American leaders" while giving full support to Israel's genocidal apartheid regime.

.@jjz1600 knows very well that nothing he or the other anonymous "Palestinian-American leaders" (Jim isn't even Palestinian) will change US policy by one iota. The only thing you did was allow Blinken to market his extreme Zionism as a kinder, gentler form of racism.

Since the people who met with Blinken are not actually "Palestinian American leaders" and have no constituency, they cannot bring any pressure on the US government. They would have done more good by publicly refusing to be used as window dressing.

The biggest lie the Washington bit players hungry for access, Iftar invitations and photo-ops tell themselves and others is that they are "changing things from the inside." This game is fooling no one. You cannot advance yourselves at Palestinian expense anymore.

I do not mind being called names by the likes of @jjz1600 and others. I consider it part of my job. But I will not allow him to claim that his decades long pursuit of access in the Democratic Party and the DC establishment is for the sake of Palestinians and their rights. Enough
