But thats the whole point of what I said. That he said "globalized the intifada" is already out there and used to paint him in a negative light and he still won his primary. Who's vote is he going to try and win over by backtracking? The Republicans that already hate him for being Muslim? The Zionist that won't forgive him for saying that in the first place?
What he should have done is flip the question and ask the reporter if its alright for Israel to continue murdering Palestinians. Its not that hard. He doesn't need to make it about what should happen to the state of "Israel", just point out the evil shit they're doing and how his critics are wringing their hands about Zionist tears.
Again, he's not winning additional votes by backtracking or playing nice with Zionists.
Also consider that this general election, as of right now, is going to feature two conservative Democrats running as independants, in addition to a Republican. Obviously things can change and Cuomo or Adam's may drop out, but all this means is that "moderate" and conservative votes are going to be split three ways.
