New post: "Bernie Sanders staffer's dual loyalty smear shows liberal anti-Semitism goes well beyond Ilhan Omar" washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/bernie…
ICYMI, Sanders staffer had to apologize for writing: "do you not think that the American government and American Jewish community has a dual allegiance to the state of Israel?" washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/bernie…
Anti-Semitism is resilient bc it morphs. Charges of dual-loyalty for Jews throughout history are actually one of the factors that motivated Zionism. Now that Jews have Israel, its existence is used to question loyalty of Jews everywhere else. washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/bernie…
Because liberals are generally critical of Israel, even those who aren't themselves anti-Semitic, are allowing the old anti-Semitic canards to sneak their way into acceptable debate by santizing them as criticism of Israel. washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/bernie…
If you want to criticize Israel, just make the argument against the actual policy you want to criticize, rather than about Jewish money, influence, and allegiance washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/bernie…
