On Don’t blame the Israel lobby on Christians and Republicans Typical Mondoweiss. Rising antisemitism in France is: 1. Maximus: "It's just anti-Zionism. The shooting of a rabbi and four schoolchildren in Toulouse was just anti-Zionism, right? Ilan Halimi was slaughtered because of anti-Zionism, right? 2. Misterioso: Antisemitism is "not really happening." Actually, the UK is catching up to France. Aliyah has skyrocketed in the past few years. 3. Genesto: "I believe, and I think the facts support this, that people of color, Muslims, women, and gays face more discrimination than do Jews." We are actually the most targeted group for hate crimes according to the FBI. 4. David Duke, I mean, Keith: Jews hate others and are responsible for their own persecution. Mondoweiss is a travesty. Phil Weiss is a travesty. Annie is a travesty. On Don’t blame the Israel lobby on Christians and Republicans "if people’s hearts and minds called them to support israel why do you think aipac is reinforcing an anti semitic trope by giving politicians money? bad optics and totally unnecessary. you don’t have to pay politicians to follow their conscience and do the right thing. plus, to reiterate, it reinforced the anti semitic trope." AIPAC doesn't give politicians money, but the notion that contributing to a campaign is "contributing to an antisemitic trope" if it's done because a candidate supports a strong US-Israel relationship is a clear example of blaming the victim. Annie would never suggest that CAIR contributing to Ihlan Omar is playing into Islamophobia. On Don’t blame the Israel lobby on Christians and Republicans Lol, a typical piece from crazed Hassan Nasrallah shill Danijal Jegic. On Intersectionality and Israel’s transnational violence First of all, it is Simple Simon nonsense to suggest that the only reason the US has a positive relationship with Israel is money. Second, all one need do is look at the huge rises in antisemitism in the UK and France, where a large percentage of the community has been driven out by the high level of antisemitism, including several murders, to understand the risks of the Jew-blaming that you people pathologically underplay. On Don’t blame the Israel lobby on Christians and Republicans Phil Weiss will always stand up for antisemitism. Even when it's painfully clear, as it is in Corbyn's case. His site is a home for recalcitrant bigots and that's no surprise either. On Speakers who deny Palestinians are equals and justify their massacre are sages in the pages of the ‘Times’ https://www.thejc.com/news/uk-news/record-surge-in-antisemitism-driven-by-uk-politics-not-news-about-israel-says-cst-1.479634 On ‘The future of the Democratic Party’ is support for BDS — Michelle Goldberg You're free to consult the Community Security Trust, which catalogues antisemitism in the UK. Asking me for "examples" means you're too lazy to use Google. I'm not your researcher. On ‘The future of the Democratic Party’ is support for BDS — Michelle Goldberg Yeah, Amigo, it appears that Annie removed his comment. Twitter banned him; seems like Mondoweiss is just catching up. On ‘The future of the Democratic Party’ is support for BDS — Michelle Goldberg It's amazing, oldgeezer, that you actually believe things like this.
