    He raises some fair points about the shitty things the US has done in the Middle East and our continued unwavering support of Israel. But we can’t just Ctrl-Z 80 years of history and ignore that State of Israel now exists and will have to coexist with Palestine. He lost me when he started whining that no one would let him implement Shariah law.

    The rest of it is tired antisemitic conspiracies along with calling on the US to convert to Islam and enshrine Shariah law into the Constitution. Thanks but no thanks: we already have enough religious nutjobs trying to turn the country into a theocracy and we don’t need more.
