What’s with the credulity about Richard Gere on Israel? The guy, who calls himself a human rights advocate, has been involved with Israel for at least two decades. In all that time he hasn’t been able to figure out what’s what with colonialism & apartheid?

The guy is my age. There are no magical political transubstantiations after 60. He’s doing what he’s always done: siding with colonialism & doing the good guy schtick with Palestinians. He’s pretending to play both sides of the street.
