GOP love of Israel is kinda like some Americans sudden concern for "Black Lives Matter"

I just get this feeling that there is a similarity between the bullshit concern GOP has for Israel and Israeli's, and the concern we see by some Americans for the "Black Lives Matter" issue.

I think the "Black Lives Matter" movement is seen as a hinderance to a goal by a certain group. An annoyance, maybe, that if only those folks would be quiet we could get back on this unprecedented movement of our own.

I worry that once they get what they want, if they do, the real problems will be ignored, once again.

I can see where some would be confused by who is who in my comment.

To be blunt, I think those with "sudden concern" are some Bernie supporters, not all, but some.

And maybe it isnt sudden for most of them, maybe, but I do believe they see it as an annoyance.

I could be wrong, but that is what I am seeing.

BLM is a righteous legitimate movement. Period. End of story.

Bernie Sanders did a bad job addressing BLM concerns at NetRootsNation. NO CONTROVERSY THERE.

Some Sanders supporters on DU were overly defensive when Bernie was criticized.

There is no link between these facts, the GOP, and Israel.

It's just another excuse to get the flamethrowers back onto the field.

Please talk about something based in facts....PLEASE!
