Cory Booker may actually be the single most dedicated (and destructive) Zionist in all of Congress
AIPAC bought him off many, many years ago, but the what most of us had no idea of is that Cory Booker has been a committed Zionist and ardent supporter of Israel since college. It gets VERY deep.
I’ve met Cory Booker. We’ve served on panels together and have generally supported each other when it comes to American civil rights. We’ve followed each other online for at least a decade. He’s my Senator. He’s also one of the single most dedicated and unrelenting Zionists in all of Congress.
That image above, of Cory with Yoav Gallant, isn’t old. It’s from this past December - nearly 1 year after Yoav Gallant was charged with a long list of international war crimes by the highest court in the world - the International Criminal Court - and Gallant was charged with many heinous crimes - including the forced starvation of and slaughter of hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children. Let me clear - Yoav went to visit his friend Cory. And his friend obliged.
How much evil can your friends do before they cease to be your friends Cory? That was what I asked myself last December when Cory proudly and happily took a photo with an international war criminal, but back then, I just didn’t understand a core fact about Cory.
He’s one of them. They are his tribe. Not only are they his biggest financial supporters - it’s deeper than that. Cory absolutely ADORES and loves them. This is his crew.
Let me explain…
Tablet Magazine called Cory Booker “the single most Jewish non-Jew in the Senate.” He is so overtly Jewish that many wonder if he is actually Jewish and simply won’t say it out loud.
He speaks Hebrew
At Oxford in 1993 he was literally the President of the Jewish Society.
He officiates Jewish weddings
He receives an outrageous amount of money from AIPAC and other Jewish PACs (nearly $1 million and counting)
Have you ever seen this video?
This is Cory Book in 1993 with Rabbi Shmuley Boteach literally riding his back around on the Jewish holiday of Purim. Cory and Shmuley were and are best friends. Shmuley is also one of the single most offensive and flagrant Islamophobic Zionists on the planet.
Cory is committed. It’s why he never misses an opportunity to pose with his mentor and hero, the genocidal maniac Benjamin Netanyahu.
It doesn’t matter even a little bit what evil Netanyahu is doing in the world, Cory is always there to have his back.
The photo above, with Senator Tim Scott and Netanyahu, was actually taken on one of Cory’s many trip to Israel. He absolutely loves them.
Notoriously, Cory showed up to meet with Netanyahu and posed in a photo with him again just this past week. Again, this man has a WARRANT OUT FOR HIS ARREST on some of the single most heinous war crimes in the world.
Notice something? Cory is the only African American congressman in the room. Most of his Black colleagues wouldn’t dare show up to pose in this photo and that’s what I want to focus on for just a moment.
Cory Booker may be the single most important Congressman when it comes to whitewashing the crimes and evil actions of Israel. When you think “heinous” - maybe you think of Ted Cruz, but Cory Booker is probably pretty low on most people’s lists of heinous men in the government.
That’s what makes him such a problem. As Cory Booker smiles and laughs and speaks way too much in the Senate, affable and friendly, it masks just how evil his votes and actions supporting Israel truly are.
Cory Booker is a deeply dedicated and loyal Zionist.
Again and again, Cory Booker has voted for and defended laws creating PENALTIES for anyone that boycotts Israel. Mind you, you can boycott America. You can boycott Cory’s home state of New Jersey. You can even boycott Cory, but he will not let you boycott Israel. The next day Cory will give a speech defending free speech. It’s all as phony as a $3 bill.
Cory not only votes again and again and again to send BILLIONS of dollars of weapons to Israel - no matter how many studies prove they are using them for war crimes - he also votes against any bill FROM HIS OWN PARTY to block those weapons for being sold or even requiring Israel to simply follow the law with them.
This is who he is. What’s painful about it is that many of us thought we could trust this man. We simply can’t. Palestine is the litmus test of our time. If you support genocide, I simply cannot and will not support you.
Cory Booker is the smiling Black face they use to defend the indefensible. And they will give him as much money as he needs to never leave their side.
Love and appreciate each of you.
Your friend and brother,
Shaun

Comments are open to all. Did you know this about Cory Booker? He may very well be the single most dedicated and destructive Zionist in all of Congress.
I have been on to Cory Booker for a while now. I have been giving him hell on his FB page. Thanks for this piece Shaun.
