Jerry Brown no longer has any right to claim to care about the fate of the Palestinian people. There's no difference between signing a trade deal with Israel and endorsing everything that Netanyahu has ever done or ever WILL do.

And it's not even good politics, because it goes without saying that Brown will be opposed by AIPAC if he runs for re-election since AIPAC pretty much only backs Republicans now(as Debby Wasserman Schultz can tell you).
