      There is a lot of that going around. The Jews have been thoroughly persecuted for years, there will definitely be a strong tendency for them to jump to that conclusion. There are a number of Jewish people that are standing up and saying what’s happening is wrong.

      My problem is, how are we so deep into this conflict? Is there some form of conspiracy here that crosses party lines deep enough that we’re doing this, in the 11th hour of an election cycle? There’s no oil in this, there’s no impending risk of Hamas actually taking over Israel right? They don’t need the entire US stockpile to get the job done right?

        The actual answer is much simpler and dumber. Israel has a strong lobbying arm in the US, and half the country believes Israel must exist (and apparently be unconditionally supported) for their precious ‘End Times’ to come. Combine those two factors, and very few politicians are willing to go against support for Israel.

      Nah, you’re just an anti-zionist. Nothing wrong with being anti-zionist. But the pro-zionist people equate anti-zionist to antisemitism, Which is bullshit.

      Hey! I’m Jewish and I resemble that comment!

      Also, you’re not antisemitic for what you’re saying, it’s how you’re saying it while being an antisemite. \s
