fwiw, I've never defended Hamas a single time, I've repeatedly called them terrorists, I've said Israel has a right to exist, not once have I blamed Jewish people for my criticisms of Israel, and I've argued that Israel should be a safe state for Jewish people in a sea of anti-Jewish nations that are horrible.
Yet I'm called antisemitic for four statements
1. I think ethnostates are bad
2. I think Israel started the recent wave of violence by evicting Palestinians from their homes - colonization is bad
3. Israel is clearly the dominant power and probably has a higher obligation to search for peace - their retaliations will always do more damage
4. Israel has a horrifying practice of bombing homes, hospitals, news offices, charities, etc. and then lying about Hamas being present
All of these statements are defensible in my view. If you're going to attack me, attack me on those.
Also CCCP, I don't know if you've been paying attention but Joe Biden has repeatedly took the side of Israel... like he's said they have a right to defend themselves and has openly sided with them during this conflict. So I'm not sure where your criticism of the dems comes from.
He has a habit of twisting things up.
now he says the taking of the homes is land taken from the Palestinians.
he and Bob have both said that Israel took the land away in 1948.
he never raised a ruckus about the Arab states being “ethnistates “ but goes crazy over Israel.
he is vehemently against Israel being Jewish from its inception to the present.
he has ignored the question of the Palestinian demand of right of return - won’t address it.
Won’t address fact that even most Arab states today are fine with Israel as the Jewish state.
