Well, this is something.
Quoting an item from Trita Parsi, who notes this item from Lauder:
... “Ronald Lauder has never lived in Israel. But in the past year the Jewish billionaire, who serves as president of the World Jewish Congress, has given up his remaining properties in the country, a sign of the deep shift in his views of its future. A deep sense of disgust appears on his face as he recounts this. “I’ve sold my apartment in Tel Aviv, I gave my home in Be’er Sheva to the Jewish National Fund, of which I’m also the chairman. I basically cut my ties there. Because it has become so…,” Lauder grimaces, making a gesture of vomiting.
He goes on to blame Israel for failing to make peace, explaining that Israel actually didn’t want peace:
“I realized at the end of the day that Israel really didn’t want peace, but they wanted dominance. And I walked away from it.”
“You’ve lost the Democratic Party, and you’re losing the Republican Party. And it’s all because of foolishness on your part. I want to tell Israelis, ‘Shame on you! Shame on all of you. Your fathers and your grandfathers fought for this place, and you’re losing it because of foolishness. Period.’”
I think this reflects the view of many who fought to establish Israel/supported its creation, but at the same time believed in peace. Perhaps an unjust peace, clearly a peace on Israel’s terms - but a peace nonetheless.
But Israel has long swapped dominance and control for peace, and it has taken quite some time for many of its original supporters and champions to realize it - and admit to themselves the direction Israel actually is going in....
The last two grafs are Parsi--but No Lies Detected.

Trita Parsi enjoys the dubious honor of having been found by a Federal court to be engaged in behavior so probably demonstrating him to be an agent of the Islamic Republic of Iran that, the court found, it wasn't libel or slander to state that he probably was one.
“Trita Parsi enjoys the dubious honor of having been found by a Federal court to be engaged in behavior”
So has Trump. A true Christian would cast them both to the Sodomites.
It's clear from near everything one sees and reads that Parsi is highly partisan. But that doesn't change what Lauder said, assuming that Parsi didn't invent that.
Perhaps we should String him up at the nearest tree just to make sure he’s not a problem ….we all know the spotless reputation the courts have after all And we know they never land on the wrong side of justice
Better to silence and permanently, and have no more problems!!!!!!
Better yet
Who is the judge that found trita parsi suspect?
Was the judge a special member of a desert death cult in the Middle East?
Sources?
It's a public record. As far as I know the judge was a Methodist; he went to Wesleyan.
“Perhaps we should String him up at the nearest tree”
Go right ahead. Get arrested and charged. Good riddance to you.
