    I am not anti-Semitic because people should be judged by their choices, and nobody can choose their race.

    But god damn does the Israeli government make it hard to shut up actual anti-semites when they keep doing this shit

    We should stop sending them the billions of dollars that we’ve been sending them every single year for decades and decades.

      Yeah, I hate myself for being alive and unable to do anything about it. I’m just here witnessing it without any opportunity to change it. We really should have organized years ago before Trump was president so that we could fight against this madness when it eventually came up. We’re really fucked.

    Honest question from someone not in the US: How does the Republican Party square the circle of having a big contingent of their supporters basically hating Jews while also supporting Israel?

      Explain to me what you think the MSM is. The screenshot in this very post shows the New York Times, The Washington Post, Newsweek, and a 4th presumably main stream media organization demonstrating Isreal’s meddling.

      Do you not believe those to be MSM? If not, define it right here, and not the way that idiot Owen Shroyer kept messing up in his deposition.

        How many times has any of those said Israel is meddling with the US elections? And how many times has been about Russian meddling?

        I think the point is that the MSM does not describe the Israeli meddling as actually “meddling” whilst they do describe Russia’s meddling as such.

        The way in which events of Israel influencing American politics is reported seldom if at all carry the tone of disproval that is carried by that very same newsmedia’s reporting of events of Russia influencing American politics, not even close.

        I mean, if the same moral weight was being used for both, the Democrats For Israel and Republicans For Israel groups in Congress would be described in the same terms as any Democrats For Russia or Republicans For Russia would, either outright calling them “traitors” or implying it.
