Warren supporters can't talk about Palestine

posted on: Feb 14, 2015

“Run Liz Run,” by Reeves Wiedeman in The New Yorker, reports on a New York party with a lot of celebrities pushing Elizabeth Warren to get in. Presumably a lot of these folks oppose Hillary Clinton’s hawkish foreign policy. But.

A hundred and fifty people mingled in [Julie] Pacino’s loft, listening to speeches from Warren supporters. After one audience member posed a question about Warren’s stance on Palestine, the organizers decided that there had been enough dialogue, turned on the music, and told everyone to dance.

You may remember that Elizabeth Warren herself ran away from the Gaza question last summer. Good luck maintaining this policy. US progressives are reaching consensus.
