@mtaibbi Walter was either lying or mistaken when he said the anti-genocide protestors were targeting Jews for abuse. Ignore is the fact that a significant number of Jews are among the protestors. He was also wrong about Israel being the victim of attacks from the Arab world in the '70s.

So it’s okay to just blatantly make things up about me on the air because I’m insufficiently outspoken on the Palestine issue? Seriously? And that’s supposed to make me positively inclined to that point of view?

@MikeK_LA @mtaibbi Re Israel/Palestine and Matt I’m starting to see @briebriejoy ‘s point.

The statement in question is part of a broader conversation on Twitter regarding historical and current geopolitical issues, specifically focusing on Israel and its conflicts. The tone of the statement is confrontational and corrective, aiming to challenge a previous assertion about Israel's history of being a victim of attacks. The content references historical events (Munich, Entebbe, Black September) to substantiate the claim that Israel has indeed been a victim in past conflicts. This statement constitutes public discourse as it engages in a substantive discussion about historical and geopolitical issues that are of public concern.
