I'd be more interested in hearing how many non Arab MK's do it.
Holy Feck
what the feck, is there anyone who didn't speak with the Russians?Few if any I'd guess. Not sure what your point is.

Obama's staff did their best to preserve Russia-Trump Campaign links.

My point is, that Arab MK's speaking out against some of Israel's more aggressive policies is hardly a surprise. Expected, if anything. However a 'true' Israeli national condemning his own? Might face a bit of a backlash for that.
So you're suggesting that 'apartheid' Israel discriminates against its Jewish critics by having them silenced while leaving its Arab critics free to say what they want?
Ever heard of the term 'Self-Hating Jew' and all the nastiness that surrounds this phenomenon. Also, did I personally describe Israel as 'apartheid' or did you just throw that in for effect?
For effect I'll admit.
Now, I'm sure you'll admit there is a long way from calling someone a self-hating Jew to making them have 'an accident', no?

I think the outrage an Arab would face would be much less than a Jew would face for publicly condemning Israel. 'An accident' might be leaning towards hyperbole but I do think it was a dangerous move.
Israeli media, academia, and peace organisations are full of anti-Zionist Israeli Jews, just google Neve Gordon, Gideon Levy, and Shlomo Sand for example.
I stand corrected, then. I apologise and withdraw my remark.
I'm absolutely no expert, but I'm not sure I'd say full of. Gideon Levy (the only one I know of) is in a niche in Haaretz, which is a tiny niche itself.
Lyin' under oath.....he's toast.
So, what are we looking at here? Is this something ole' Beauregard can sweep under the carpet or are we looking at his immediate resignation and possible criminal action?
"I misremembered"
CNBC actually covered this in depth last year...

So, Congress can choose to ignore it? Seems to be bearing out so far in that people only seem to be asking for him to recuse himself from the Russia investigation.
That, and does everyone believe that the FBI won't know? Not much respect for the Bureau these days...
Nancy Pelosi asking for Sessions resignation.

We've seen it with Brexit (i've likely been guilty of it at times), and it's one of those potential contradictions of the anti-globalisation, anti-corporate aspect to the debate.

You gotta love politicians...he's gone from under oath - 'I've had no contact' to
'Campaign issues'
Hehehe
'Campaign issues'
Hehehe
Isn't Sessions the one who had a very long hearing? I seem to remember it went on far longer than usual. At the time people were quite curious about his answers, and now it seems he's lied under oath.
Someone should link John Oliver's Obama care vid as well as Seth Myers' about Trump's speech. Can't right now
Come on guys be fair to him. He had as many as 25(twenty five) meetings with different ambassadors last year. You can't expect him to remember every single one of them. It's not like these sorts of things would have been on his schedule.
Yeah he's the one Coretta Scott King wrote the letter to the senate about in 1986. Elizabeth Warren tried to read it at the hearing and was silenced.
Sessions as said that he never had meetings with the Russians to discuss the campaign .
You have to be a fruitcake to believe, this admin isn't compromised.
Sessions being busted regarding connections to Russia makes it is now a 3rd person affiliated with Donald Trump that got caught. It is almost certain to say Donald Trump are involved in this him self as it is just too many people close to him that is discovered with Russian connections to it just being random events or lone wolf actions. It really do look like its been organized from the Top from the start of Trumps campaign. This could get extremely serious as more indications of a possible Russian and Trump cooperation gets to the public. The Attorney General being caught with Russian connections is no laughing matter and shows the need of an independent investigation into this matter.
I wonder if the Trump administration will call for Sessions resignation as they can no longer trust him (to not get caught).
Back in September, Julia Ioffe (Politico) wrote in her article that someone told her that Carter Page (One of the other traitors) was recruited by Rick Dearborn. You may be wondering who he is, it just happens to be that Dearborn was Sessions' chief of staff.

They can't ignore this turn of events, surely?
I think they will try. An attorney general going down, is a pretty big deal.
I love how often politicians use the Shaggy defense.
