In reply to the discussion: A prayer for AIPAC's demise By Medea Benjamin [View all]Scootaloo
(25,699 posts)31. Made with the insinuation that she did so as a holocaust denier, Dave
Now maybe you're unaware - probably you're unaware - but despite it's origins as Ahmedinejad's sad attempt at a spoof of Laugh-In, it has grown and developed well beyond a bunch of knuckleheads chuckling about the so-called "Holocaust Industry."
if i understand correctly, Benjamin attended in 2014. sadly I can't find any video or transcripts of what she said there. But given that she's pretty much talked about nothing except drones and guantanamo bay for the last eight years or so, i rather doubt sh's going to take a break and talk about whatever you find most convenient to put into her mouth.

I am telling you you do not get to speak for all Jews. You do not get to strip their identity.
