Deifying Israel and all Jews by potentially criminalizing any criticism of them, no matter how legitimate such as the first’s policies towards the Palestinians and wondering whether the second’s disproportionate membership in the Biden Administration influences its policies, is anti-American.
All true, every word. I will add that the greatest threat to Jews in America isn't the few neo-Nazis we have lurking in city basements or on isolated rural plots; it is the Zionists who are tarring all Jews with their genocidal brush. It is the Zionists giving the real anti-Semites here ammunition by implicitly advocating Jewish supremacy, not to mention by attacking peaceful anti-genocide protesters.
Support for the Israeli military operation in Gaza is now under 40% and plummeting. The images of women, children, and hospital staff executed and buried or simply buried alive are coming through in spite of the best efforts to ignore or suppress them.
On the street in downtown Cleveland, there is a simmering anger that hasn't been around since the Black Lives Matter protests, and it's directed at very different targets--namely the fact that the government is helping migrants over our own homeless, and at all that money going to Ukraine and Israel while we have tent encampments of homeless people across the street from police stations, which weren't there a year ago.
If that anger gets focused on Jews in general instead of on Israel and its supporters...it could get very bad very fast. I think the main reason it hasn't is because so many American Jews have been front and center at the pro-Palestine protests, and because many anti-Zionist rabbis have spoken out.
It's hard to label all of Israel's opponents "anti-Semitic" when they have names like Norman Finkelstein and Keaton Weiss.
The U.S. ruling elite, Democratic and Republican, has no idea whatsoever what the genuine security needs of the country are. None. Their only concern is global hegemony. That is the antithesis of true national security, and, in fact, the continued pursuit of it by the U.S. is the greatest threat the world faces today.
