Not just here but in the rest of the country, politicians are spineless when it comes to questioning Israel's actions. They must appear to align with the policies of Netanyahu no matter how inhumane those policies may be. Not matter how much he breaks international law. McKee in this is beyond hypocracy; he is spineless and exploitative.
This is truly preposterous. Deaths in Israel are under 2,000 while in Gaza and possibly the West Bank as well are approaching 9,000. But apparently in RI, that is nothing but an inconvenient number. People expressing any concerns about those numbers which represent real people who happen to be mostly the elderly, children, and women, must be antisemitic. That is nothing if not amoral vulgarity.
This is quite quite scary -- as a progressive activist Jew with a sister in Israel -- the stifling of dissent from politicians/other Jews etc -- in order to prevent any sort of understanding/discourse about the Palestinians plight. It is a complete corruption of Jewish and democratic values. UGH!
And -- isn't it illegal? suspect the ACLU will soon be flooded with such cases around the country?

I just emailed McGee. Greg is right, that guy is a jerk, and he needs to hear from us.
I would expect a jerk like McKee to do this kind of thing. I also know he would not fire someone for Islamaphobic comments
