Salon: Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke calls Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu a "racist"

Kudos to Beto for drawing the distinction between support for Israel and support for Netanyahu.

We're beginning to see the primary candidates trying to differentiate themselves from the rest. Bernie announced that he doesn't want "Open Borders" recently. And now Beto is going after Netanyahu. Appealing to specific groups of voters is going to be the trend, now, for a while.

It should be interesting to watch.

Netanyahu has been Isreal's elected leader for ten years now so I presume he reflects the nation's values. Otherwise I don't give the home of HA Goodman clicks.
