@GeraldoRivera The internet, cell phones, TV, etc. likewise didn't exist at the time the constitution was written. That doesn't mean those particular forms of technology aren't protected by the free speech provisions of the Bill of Rights. Ditto for present day firearms.

@ninaturner No, but applying one set of standards to Israel and another one to its neighbors is Antisemitism. And it’s time to quit pretending it isn’t. Not all critics of Israel are bigots, but all bigots seem obsessed with Israel.
