Yeah, I just find it odd that his feet are being held to fire over a paper he wrote in college before he could even legally drink alcohol.
I mean, at twenty-years-old there is no way he could have had any sort of intimate knowledge or understanding of the Israel-Palestine issue, and it was pre-internet. I just don’t see how people are using a paper from 1993 against him in good faith; even active politicians from the 1990’s to now have changed their views on the matter, so why are we holding Shapiro to his college paper?
It just seems there is a very concentrated campaign to dig up every single piece of dirt on the guy possible.
Agree with all this. This is clearly not a good faith criticism.
I think the Biden administration have been far far too soft on Netanyahu and his thugs and their abuses, and I’m looking to see a Harris administration take a much tougher line. But I don’t think something Josh Shapiro wrote when he was 20 tells me much at all about his views on Israel and Palestine today.
I agree - I just wanted to get something up that had any more context than a screenshot and statement questioning “which Shapiro”.
