For John, BLUF: This represents an interesting divide for Democrats (I doubt Mia Love is boycotting). Nothing to see here; just move along.
I admit to being a little surprised to find this item listed in Memeorandum. But, listed it was—"Black pastors urge CBC not to skip Netanyahu speech". The source is The Washington Times. "CBC" is Congressional Black Caucus.
The most interesting paragraph was this:
“And yes, black caucus, I’m saying you have gone against Israel when you decide to protest the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, from coming and speaking on the behalf of the nation of Israel,” Mr. Sanders said. “That is a slap in the face to the people of Israel, and not only that, it’s a slap in the face to God. And not only that, it’s also a slap in the face of all Bible-believing African-American people in this country.”Within the Black population in these United States there appears to be some diversity of thought on some issues.
Hat tip to Memeorandum.
