Beware Thy "Friends"

"When we talked last week I meant to ask you about the rally"
"What rally?"
"The rally  that sounded anti-American and anti-Israel."
"What about it?"
"It was at the doorstep of the Capitol of our nation."
"Well, now, we can't be too hasty in judging . . ."
"Some of your former associates spoke at the rally.  What did you think of it?"

"Well . . . uh . . ."
"I remember during that rioting in Ferguson and other cities you and some other black politicians, preachers, and well-known athletes -- shall I say seemed to stoke the flames?  You even took that racial unrest to the U.N. in your speech there on September 24, although that anti-American and anti-Israel body hasn't a damned thing to do with our domestic issues --"
"Well . . . uh . . ."
"What do you think of Palestinians knifing Jewish men, women, and children, and throwing rocks at Jewish soldiers in the streets of Israel?"
"Well, now, we must be fair.  The Palestinians are our friends, too, and have rights --"
"Rights to kill Jews?"

"Well, uh . . . but, you see, you must consider . . ."
"If an anti-black rally had been held near the doorsteps of our country's Capitol would you have denounced it?"
"Well, uh, you see, uh -- there're circumstances that make that somewhat different . . ."
"Don't you think it strange that these black politicians, preachers, and well-known athletes who seemed to stoke the rioting with their "concern" for blacks haven't said anything against blacks killing each other in our cities as if they enjoy expressing their self-hate by shooting one another?"
"Uh . . . well . . . uh . . . no comment . . ."
"Thank you for answering my questions so enthusiastically."
