David Friedman is out of step with American Jews and dangerous for Palestinian human rights – Mondoweiss
Ariel Gold and Isso Amro write, "As a Jewish American and a Palestinian
human rights activist, we stand united in our opposition to
President-elect Donald Trump’s
nomination of bankruptcy attorney David Friedman to be the next US
Ambassador to Israel. Friedman, who has no diplomatic experience, is
aligned not with American Jewish positions, but with Israel’s illegal
settler movement. He is hostile to the two-state solution and refers to
the West Bank as Judea and Sumeria, a biblical name used by settlers and
Israel’s extreme right. Friedman’s reference to the West Bank by this
name reflects his support for Israeli annexation of the West Bank, which
would force the Palestinian population either to leave or be contained
in enclaves, not unlike South African apartheid era bantustans"
