Booker now says that he didn’t know what the sign said. How long would it have taken him to read it? Does he really expect anyone to believe that? The Democrat leadership is venomously anti-Israel; why would he have had any objection to holding such a sign until he started to get negative publicity over it? But the Democrat record is clear. Obama for eight years humiliated and harassed Israel at every turn, and Cory Booker was on board.
“Cory Booker Pictured With Anti-Israel Radicals, Holds Sign Calling for Elimination of Security Borders in Israel,” by Brent Scher, Washington Free Beacon, August 3, 2018 (thanks to Todd):
New Jersey senator Cory Booker (D.) was pictured on Friday afternoon at the liberal Netroots Nation conference holding a sign calling for the removal of security borders in Israel, a policy proposal from a radical anti-Israel group with financial ties to terrorist groups.
Booker, standing next to radical activists from the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights, is holding a sign that says, “From Palestine to Mexico, all the walls have got to go,” a slogan used by the group in its call for the removal of Israeli security barriers used to protect its citizens from terrorist attacks.

The picture of Booker was posted by the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights, a radical activist group that supports anti-Israel campaigns such as the Boycott, Divest, and Sanction (BDS) movement and was recently found to be financially tied to designated terrorist groups such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
“Excited to be here at Netroots Nation talking with progressives like Sen. Cory Booker about our shared commitment to freedom, justice, and equality for all people,” the group wrote.
Booker’s senate office did not initially respond to an inquiry on the picture and whether he believes security barriers that prevent terrorists based in the West Bank and Gaza Strip from entering Israel should be removed, but after publication sent a statement claiming the New Jersey senator didn’t know what was written on the sign he was holding.
“Just before delivering a speech in New Orleans, Senator Booker was approached by dozens of people for photos,” said spokesman Jeff Giertz. “In one instance, amid the rush, he was posing for a photo and was passed a sign to hold—he didn’t have time to read the sign, and from his cursory glance he thought it was talking about Mexico and didn’t realize it had anything to do with Israel.”
Giertz added that Booker does believe security barriers are necessary as long as “active terrorist organizations threaten the safety of the people living in Israel.”
“He hopes for a day when there will be no need for security barriers in the State of Israel, but while active terrorist organizations threaten the safety of the people living in Israel, security barriers are unfortunate but necessary to protect human lives,” Giertz said….

Corey booker claimed to not read the sign. Come on the guy is a Harvard law grad. Like OBama he hates Jews, White people and police. Please do not vote for him to be President.
Was mayor of Newark NJ in the past, hardly anything to brag about. Didn’t assist me in getting my immigrant wife over here from the Philippines when I asked both my US senators for assistance (Booker & Menendez). Now, TWO Trump votes from my household, being as the wife just became an American citizen earlier this year
Excellent point John. And I’m glad to welcome your wife to America. …
Open Borders – including the anchor baby, chain migration, lottery, and ‘legal’ refugee issues as well as just flat illegal border crossing or Visa overstays – is only for those populations that reliably vote Democratic.
I can count on one hand the number of pro-Americans allowed to stay illegally (including engineers, family, wives, church friends, colleagues, students, business partners and refugees): Even while I have lived next door to illegals for 17 of the last 22 years, caught illegals in my rentals, and I have handled over a hundred pro-bono cases involving illegals (as the opposition). I’ve even known solid Leftist Europeans to be deported after a Visa overstay – b/c I suppose one cannot trust a Euro-illegal to vote Democratic forever even if they are a Libtard today.
If you’re anti-American – or criminal – or just plain Mexican – the borders are ‘Open,’ but otherwise they are not.
Don’t forget members of the Islamic CULT.
Good point Robert – but almost all the ones I’ve met have been ‘legal’ migrants. They should not be here, but they are.
Lance would have been a waste of time too.
Lance is a DEM in drag.
Isn;t he Left/liberal pro-jihadi demonrat ?
And pro-jihadi UN Supports Jihadi Invasion and Islamic Takeover of Non-Muslim Lands after rejecting Trump’s Nominee https://tinyurl.com/yc88lljq
So why are we funding these scumbags ?
I can assure you that Booker is a mindless mediocrity, and easily stupid enough to hold up that sign at a photo-op.
You think he’s smart cause he went to Harvard – a school that touted Cherokee Elizabeth Warren as a minority hire?
“Harvard consistently rated Asian-American applicants lower than others (i.e. favored groups) on traits like “positive personality,” likability, courage, kindness and being “widely respected,” according to an analysis of more than 160,000 student records filed Friday by a group representing Asian-American students in a lawsuit against the university.”
Enough said.
Not to worry, he doesn’t have a snowballs chance in Hell of winning, he’s just another washed up floppy disc.
Famous slimeball.
Eleven words, only two of which had three syllables, and Senator Booker “didn’t have time to read it”. That says a great deal about how intelligent the senator is …
Talk about having the Stanford-Binet score of a walnut ….
Braindead, traitor or both? You tell me but Democrat for sure.
Another example of the outright anti-Semitism exhibited by the Democratic party. The mere fact that he allowed himself to be in the company of any group that opposes Israel and supports the obscene policy of BDS is downright obvious evidence that he, like the party he represents, does not recognize and accept the reality that Israel is probably our best friend and ally in the Middle East, and that a strong Israel is clearly in America’s best interest. To support any belief system that promotes death to others, as these groups do, is the height of both stupidity and anti-Semitism. Those elected representatives should all lose in the coming election.
Light skinned and having no negro dialect —-Harry Reade (2008) about obamination . Sounds like this gives booker the criteria. I don’t want to give anyone any ideas , but I’m sure it’s well in the works. MAGA -45 will quash him.
Let him start by giving up his armed bodyguards
Booker is a world class idiot and a 2020 Booker ticket would be a dream come true!!! As trump will run him over so hard he will evaporate (politically) in to thin air
The rest of these idiots are so esoteric / bizarre / insane that even the DNC understands they are not viable candidates
After four years of fantastic achievements (I am extrapolating but the first two years of Trump are indeed jaw dropping amazing as they are and more so, if you consider the unprecedented resistance he is facing every second of every day), Trump will DESTROY any idiot that will dare to challenge him
DEMS ar ethe ANTI JEW party and PRO ISLAM.
Booker knows better that that be HE is ENSLAVED to the LIBERAL WHITE DEMS.
Does he really think Israel will tear down their walls for the Jews haters? Seriously?
“In one instance, amid the rush, he was posing for a photo and was passed a sign to hold—he didn’t have time to read the sign,…….” Oh sure. No time to read. Just who does this degenerate flack think will believe this garbage.
He should put this picture on all of his “Corey for President” posters. It should go over well…..
Look at Newark when he left, funny how they wreck one place and them move on to another.
Booker is a danger to America
It is easy to detect Obhammud’s anti-cop rhetoric boiling beneath the surface of Booker’s every utterance, betrayed also by his mannerisms. You are left with the impression he was brought up on the works of black radicals like Eldridge Cleaver, Stokely Carmichael, and H. Rap Brown.
So Cory Booker can’t be bothered to check facts before he supports causes in public.
Everyone knows Obama and Booker are both anti-Semites who will do anything they can to undermine Israel.
Cory Booker is a typical anti-Semitic Democrat.
These anti-semites come crawling out of the woodwork when they think no one is paying attention.
Israel is here to stay get used to it.
Israel is the only democratic country in the middle east today surrounded by 56 Islamic oppressive backwardscountry.
Israel is a light among the nations and a beacon of hope.
Booker has the same illness as the rest of the leftist’s, unamerican stupidity
All the walls have to go?….even the one Mexico built years ago at the border with Guatemala??
How about the ”tren de la muerte” running and killing people in Mexico??
What about the criminal arsonists in the Gaza border??
..
Any Jew who would vote for that black racist prick deserves to be deported to a Muslim country. Why is it that the light blacks that have so much white blood are so racist?
