Anyone who claims that Israel is an apartheid state has drunk the Far Left Kool-Aid and has no idea what they are talking about. This kind of irresponsible rhetoric is music to the ears of the Iranian regime, Hezbollah, Hamas and all other radical Islamic terrorists. This is slander of the Jewish people and demonstrates a complete misunderstanding of the dynamic Israel faces. So much for Gavin Newsom being considered more mainstream as a potential nominee for the Democrat party in 2028. Any would-be candidate that repeats this slanderous rhetoric is completely unqualified to be commander in chief.
