(Wouldn’t be the first time someone just googled Shapiro and got Jovial Josh mixed up with Blitzkrieg Benjamin)

      I mean, he was 20 years old when he wrote that, and he is 51 now; presently, he not only believes a two-state solution is possible, but has also called Netanyahu “one of the worst leaders of all time.”

      Basically, while he is definitely pro-israel and pro two-state solution, he is also anti-Netanyahu and anti-Hamas.

      I think I would still prefer someone like Mark Kelly, but I cannot help but notice there has been a concentrated campaign to dig up anything and everything on Shapiro. I mean, a college paper from three decades ago? I do not see how that should have any sway nowadays, especially when he has made public statements confirming his stances on issues have changed since then.
