Electronic Intifada doesn’t even bother to explain why the article that Miriam Rice tweeted is false. And it can’t establish that, anyway, as it’s obviously true. If Arabs in Israel wanted to live in “Palestine,” they could move to the Palestinian Authority or Gaza now. But somehow they seem to prefer life in the Little Satan.

It has published such notorious far-right Islamophobes as Dutch politician Geert Wilders, anti-Muslim writer Robert Spencer, former Donald Trump aide Sebastian Gorka, and Steven Emerson, who has promoted the “jihadi no-go zones” hoax….
