Did this just happen? I checked the news this morning when I got up, 5 AM, and it indicated that she had agreed not to criticize Israel or back BDS while in the country.

Makes sense cause she's not going to for political reason, but personal ones. When she's back in the US, she can back talk all she wants, they can't stop her here. She's making this out to be that Israel is taking away her rights now.
Well, if she's refusing to visit her relatives under those conditions then she is absolutely grandstanding for political purposes as you're about to say.
Quote:It's all stupid and coming across now as nothing but political grandstanding and it will backfire. People aren't as stupid as she wants us to believe.
She may think she's playing the long game, but she's not going to make much headway in changing US policy towards Israel. For good and ill we're pretty locked in in that regard.
