If you believe that Palestinians will be treated any different under a Democratic administration than they were under a Republican administration, you have been AWOL from American Politics. There is no difference in America between the two when it comes to Palestine … the real culprit, the real cancer is the mainstream American news media which fuels the racism against Arabs and plays partisan politics with the American system.

STAND UP COMEDY
Book the Palestinian-Israeli standup comedy performance. Irreverant but respectful, not afraid to take on all of the issues, and loved by moderates and those who support peace. Hated by the fanatics, Hezbollah, Hamas activists, racist Israeli settlers, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Ahmadinejad, Hassan Rouhani, Phalangists, the KKK and Neo-Nazis, Hanania is popular with the righteous, people who love comedy, peace and justice. (My mother is from Bethlehem, Jesus is my cousin!)
