First Amendment protects even the Israel lobby | Letters to the Editor | The Daily News – Galveston County Daily News
Category: First Amendment
In response to the commentary by Ali Khalili ("This is a defining moment in US human rights values," The Daily News, May 26): Ali Khalili, where do you live? The tagline in your commentary says Webster. We have trouble enough in our country that you dont need to go on creating anti-Jewish feelings here.
The First Amendment guarantees freedom to petition the government. If the American Israel Public Affairs Committee cant lobby the government, neither can any group claiming to represent Palestinian Arabs.
By the way, Ive not seen any stories about American Jews and supporters of Israel beating up or harassing Palestinian supporters anywhere, unlike what the supporters of Palestinians in New York and Los Angeles have been doing to American Jews and supporters of Israel.
