Nuisance Newsom Nonsense
By Beverly Newman, Ed. D.
Perhaps, the Governor needs to review the maxim to “clean up your own backyard first” because his is filled with ashes from uncontrolled fires that displaced much of his state’s citizenry and pot lots that drain the water supply.
Likewise, his state is drenched with rampant vagrancy and homelessness, antisemitism, fraudsters, environmental catastrophes, and crimes perpetuated by revolving door “consequences.”
Newsom compares Israel to ‘apartheid state,’ wants to ‘rethink’ U.S. relationship
by Ryan Mancini
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) on Tuesday compared Israel to an “apartheid state” while suggesting that the U.S. should “rethink” its relationship with the Jewish state after both countries carried out attacks on Iran Saturday.
Newsom, promoting his new political memoir “Young Man in a Hurry,” sat down with the hosts of “Pod Save America” for an interview in Los Angeles, where the governor was asked about how many Democrats disapprove of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s “trajectory” and want to “rethink” the U.S.-Israel relationship.
“The issue of Bibi is interesting because he’s got his own domestic issues,” Newsom told Tommy Vietor, a co-host of the podcast. “He’s trying to stay out of jail. He’s got an election coming up. He’s potentially on the ropes. He’s got folks, the hard line, that want to annex the West Bank. [Journalist Thomas] Friedman and others are talking about it appropriately as sort of an apartheid state.”
The governor brought up the issue of regime change — a term thrown around before and after the U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran — and said, in relation to Israel, that “they haven’t even been able to solve the Hamas question” in Gaza following the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on country.
Co-host Jon Favreau then asked Newsom, a 2028 presidential contender, if the U.S., “looking down the road, should consider rethinking our military support for Israel?”
“It breaks my heart, because the current leadership is walking us down that path where I don’t think you have a choice about that consideration,” Newsom answered.
He added that the “regional war” is the opposite of what President Trump campaigned on in 2024, when he and others touted him as a candidate for peace compared to former Vice President Harris.
Newsom’s criticism of Israel comes less than two months after he said he refused to call Israel’s bombardment of Gaza, the cutoff of humanitarian aid and the hundreds of thousands of Palestinian deaths a genocide. He told conservative commentator Ben Shapiro on the governor’s podcast “This is Gavin Newsom” in January that he was “crystal clear on my love for Israel.”
