Pennsylvania Governor and potential vice presidential nominee Josh Shapiro tries to distance himself from a recently uncovered op-ed he wrote in college in which he identified as a former volunteer in the IDF and argued that the Palestinians are too “battle-minded” to pursue peace with Israel.
Palestinians will not coexist peacefully,” Shapiro also wrote in the op-ed titled “Peace Not Possible.”
“They do not have the capabilities to establish their own homeland and make it successful even with the aid of Israel and the United States. They are too battle-minded to be able to establish a peaceful homeland of their own,” added the then-20-year-old.
For the love of God just pick Kelly as VP, he’s a fucking astronaut for christs sake
I mean, does that make you automatically qualified to be the Vice President?
No, but it’s not like he’s just a random astronaut, he’s also a well respected senator.
Part of the issue is they don’t want to lose his Senate seat which was formerly held by McCain and by no means safe. It needs a strong defender like Kelly.
It shows he’s smart and adaptable enough to handle high stakes situations, so he may be a little overqualified but would make a great pick nonetheless.
Mark Kelly is “healthcare reformer” that doesn’t support universal healthcare.
