‘Squad’ Statements on Israel ‘Antisemitic at Their Core’

[Always in His Presence]

A good response to the comments. Too bad the congress critters in question brayed "anti-Semite!" rather than addressing the content of the criticism leveled at Israel.

Doing my best not to respond in kind -

These human beings in Congress - are not braying, but pointing out a form and example systematic racism with those who have a a history of anti-sematic statements.

The Congress People in question have had calls for censure, and numerous complaints from both other members of congress (their own party included), the press and the targets of their racist comments.

Dr. Mark Goldfeder: House should censure anti-Semitic Rep. Rashida Tlaib

I could link a number of articles showing what I am speaking of, but the reader gets the general idea.

Congresswoman Liz Cheney (Wyo.), the third-ranking GOP representative, called on House speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) and Democratic majority leader Steny Hoyer (D., Md.) to “take action” against Tlaib and other members of their caucus for their “vile anti-Semitism.”

Calling out anti semetic views for what they are is NOT braying. it is calling out anti semitic views and statements

They are playing the anti-Semite card. Its as over used as the race card, used to blunt criticism in the same manner and a disservice to those it is supposedly used in defense of as real issues are lost to repetitively crying wolf.

There are Republican and Democratic members of Congress who would disagree.

So do I.

Can we still be friends?

Yes, but it can't be like the race card, because the right is against the race card, so they must be against this kind of tactic as well...

Otherwise, it's just going to fail on them due to a lack of sincerity... and what are the odds of that?

Apparently they’re not terribly dependent on Jewish support.

Agreed, there's probably not a whole lot of support for the Israeli government in their congressional districts. No big deal.
