That clip was taken out of context, and I did NOT say Israel was not an occupying force in Palestine. I was referring to Gaza as opposed to the West Bank. Israel had left in 2005; the occupying issue there is usually referred to in terms of the siege and the blockade, which I have condemned for years. I also corrected my language within an hour. For whatever reason, @normfinkelstein has made faux outrage at me a part of his brand this year. And be very clear. We are talking brand protection here, not genuine progressive values.
