Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Hi there. Jewish person here. The people you are accusing of being antisemitic are 100% right. AIPAC has controlled the American political stance on Israel for decades.
If you care about American Jews, stop associating them with Israel. That is what is getting us harassed and attacked, being automatically associated with Israel.
Yeah this is the internet and I can claim that I'm a Palestinian that thinks that Netanyahu is completely in the right. Which proves what exactly?
Also note that racism towards "Cosmopolitan Jews" was a way a certain group used as a gateway for people that weren't willing to be antisemitic towards all Jews. But we know how that ended.
So today it's considered to be good and correct to hate "zionist jews" by those who would normally think antismeitsm is wrong. Meanwhile in my city there's an Israeli consullate, but the protesters don't go there, they protest in the middle of a Jewish community, and have attempted to burn down Jewish businesses. While you're distinguishing between "~~cosmopolitan~~ zionist jews" and other jews, there are many people in the Palestinian movement who are not.
We need to stop looking the other way about what this is really about. An antisemitic movement that wants to restore the ethnic makeup of a geographic area to the way it was in a history book by the use of extreme violence. "Blood and soil", "from the river to the sea" same shit different century.
I'm not a Jew but my grandfather fought in a war against people that did the same things the Palestinian movement is doing right now. Jews went along with the movement my grandfather fought against too, you know. So the same bullshit from a century ago and how it affected my grandfather means a bit more than your unverifiable claims about being a jew. This ain't about you, this is about fascists trying to burn down Jewish businesses in the city I live in after my grandfather sacrificed a lot to fight against that kind of evil.
Now go on and make excuses for the violent actions of the fascists in your movement like a good useful idiot.
You are welcome to look at my comment history and see how many other times I have talked about being Jewish.
I really don't care. There were Jews that joined the Nazi party. Historically being Jewish hasn't exactly been a prophylactic against being a part of antisemitic movements. You may think you can win over the violent elements in a movement to only hate a subset of Jews so you'll be fine. But when there's a night of the long knives you find out only the opinions of those with the knives really count in these kinds of movements. And they aren't going to care that you were "one of the good ones" when the knives come out.
They already don't seem to care what kind of Jew goes to the synagogues they shoot at.
So first I'm not a Jew and now I'm a Jewish Nazi?
On the internet nobody knows you're a dog.
You can be whatever you want to be. Not sure why you're playing the role of useful idiot for an antisemitic movement, but if you want that to be your internet persona, then no one can stop you. Just like no one can stop me from pretending from posting what I want even if I might be a dog in real life. Woof!
Got it, so I'm a Nazi Jew who's a useful antisemite. Fascinating.
???
A lot of people think that how they identify makes them magically immune to propaganda. The reality is thinking you can't be scammed because of who you are makes you more vulnerable to being scammed.
"I'm a good ole country boy, some city slicker can't fool me!" says the guy voting for Trump.
The only sane comment in this entire thead.
