Ibtihaj Muhammad Viewing Party

No matter what anyone says about the actual content, the Sage of Short Hills has decreed that if you disagree with his condemnation, you must be anti-Israel.

Clearly you are anti-Israel too so you have no legitimacy. And the Tweets do exist.

@Jamie - Maybe have a new, pinned thread just with the viewing information, and close the one the Sage of Short Hills decided to soil.

I will follow. Because I still am convinced that the tweets indicate a person the community should not support. And will continue to make that clear. I might even come picket the event or any homecoming event. I am sure I can find some people to come with me.

Those so quick to dismiss anti Israel attacks are so quick triggered on calling any negative words about any other group as the worst thing ever. But Israel, the only functioning democracy in the area is some how fair game. And we all know why.

I could guess what you mean, but why don't you tell me exactly what you want to call me.  Thanks in advance.

There is lots of things I have wanted to call you over the years.

My man brammz, I'm guessing you won't come out as you are likely a small, scared man. But if you do hit the spot to protest know that you will be in a safe, loving environment. I will bring you coffee or perhaps a water bottle, sealed of course, in case you don't trust me.

I'm a big fan of the 13th Amendment and I know manumission is central to your people's narrative, so we're not that different. But I love the 1st Amendment just as much, and your right to have an opinion is equal to this young fencer's. So I support and salute you.

these are criticisms of the government of Israel.  Criticism of any government in the world should be fair game.  You are the one who rails agains the PC of "the left," and yet you are blind to the fact that criticism of the government of Israel runs afoul of a different set of PC police.

This thread should have never become political. It is the announcement of a local event concerning a prominent local resident.

It's as if someone went onto a thread about Maplewoodstock to discuss the political views of a member of one of the bands.

If it had been warranted I would not have hesitated to do so. 

This was things people should be aware of.
