How is anti-zionism really different from anti-semitism? If you're against Zionism you are against Jews having their traditional homeland. I don't deny Palestinians their homeland and I would be labeled a racist if I did. The same should apply to anti-zionists.
I am a baby boomer. I remember eveything that's happened in this country since I came here in 1965 at age 7. I grew up in San Francisco. As a teenager, I read many, many books about the Holocaust even though I was raised a Catholic. I have always hated anti-semitism. And I have never understood why so many people around the world are anti-semitic.
But I have always being against Zionism and the treatment of Palestinians by the Israeli government. And I know that the Arab countries could have helped the Palestinians but chose not to.
I understand your concern about the perceived "growing" anti-semitism in this country. But I believe that those who blame all Jews for the plight of the Palestinians have always been anti-semitic. They are just Americans who now believe it's ok to be racist, anti-semitic, homophobic, misogynistic, etc.
This country was built on the shoulders of the Native Americans, Black slaves, Mexican farm workers, Chinese railroad workers, etc.
Jewish Americans are now experiencing in America what I, as a Latina woman, have experienced my whole life.
Matt, I’m not committed to defending either political party. My mindset when it comes to politics is that I’m committed to the people who have to live with the consequences of their decisions.
Democrats should speak clearly when something is wrong, but the same standard must apply to Republicans, independents, donors, corporations, and government institutions. Accountability loses credibility when it changes based on who holds power.
Most Americans are trying to afford housing, food, healthcare, education, and a stable future while Washington keeps prioritizing partisan warfare, political theater, and self-preservation.
Speak up. Present evidence. Protect constitutional limits. Address corruption. Explain the solution. Then produce measurable results.
The country does not need another party victory lap. It needs public servants who remember that the people are the constituency, not the party....just my chime in still love bro! 💪🏽😎
Antisemitism is unacceptable period. It's like hating all Blacks for being black. In fact, hatred is, to paraphrase, like drinking poison and hoping the other person will die. In Christian ethics, to hate is to wish someone dead.
It's also wrong to hate all Palestinians. Or, all Muslims. Hate is not of God. We must all fight to eliminate from ourselves.
Right on Matt! Like our country, I can care deeply for the people; Isrealis, Palestinians, Jews, Muslims, etc., and have little to no respect for their leadership that has little regard for life.

Myths of centuries-ago homelands
It is completely different. Being an anti-Zionist does not mean that you hate Jews. Just like being anti-Nazi does not mean that you hate Germans.
