Note: this is Scott Weiner, not Anthony Weiner.

Anthony Weiner resigned from Congress in June 2011 after it was revealed that he had sent sexually suggestive photos of himself to different women, including a minor.

    Hard to say where he really sits without knowing more about him, but voice wise it seems he was calling for people to protest Israel’s actions while not performing them specifically at Jewish events. Which I get. Bringing the protests to specifically Jewish events in the U.S. isn’t protesting Israel, it draws the idea that if you are Jewish you are Israel, which is false. His comments that Palestinians should be able to live without fear I haven’t seen anyone mentioning and the fact that they are quoting him from 2021 saying Israel should be more surgical, 2 years before things escalated from the Oct 7th attack and prior to any ground invasion.

    A U.S. Senator speaking about Israel overreach in 2021 is actually surprising.
