The resolution makes a dangerous conflationā€”and quite a few Democrats gave their wholehearted support.

ā€œThe resolution suggests that all anti-Zionismā€”it statesā€”is antisemitism. Thatā€™s either intellectually disingenuous or just factually wrong,ā€ said New York Representative Jerry Nadler, who voted present. ā€œThe authors if they were at all familiar with Jewish history & culture should know about Jewish anti-Zionism that was and is expressly not antisemitic. This resolution ignores the fact that even today, certain Orthodox Hasidic Jewish communities ā€¦ have held views that are at odds with the modern Zionist conception.ā€

    Are you going to pretend that your apologetics for a white supremacist settler-colonialist state is (somehow) made up now?

    Donā€™t run off, Clydeā€¦ your ducking and diving is becoming amusing.

      Seems like one of us is pretending, but feel free to point to any apologetics. Check my history. Check reddit, I had the same username for like 10 years. Find anything even remotely supportive of white supremacy, and Iā€™ll stay.

      Or you could apologize for the false accusations, but I doubt you have the capacity to admit a mistake.

        This you, apologist?

        How do you get rid of Israel without killing a lot of Jewish people?

        Geeā€¦ I wonder what the correct term would be for someone who peddles apologetics for a white supremacist settler-colonialist state?

        Donā€™t help meā€¦ itā€™s on the tip of my tongue.

          How is that apologetics? Thereā€™s a fucking war, and Israel is currently engaged in a genocide against Palestinians, and Hamas is using their deaths to fundraise for their next terrorist attack. How do you end the ethno-state without violence? I donā€™t know how we get there.

          Why am I even bothering with you. Youā€™re clearly more interested in labeling me to feel superior than you are in being honest about the problem.

            Oh, youā€™ve only noticed that now - thanks to Hamasā€™ attack, eh? What did you think Israel has been doing since 1949, Clyde?

            their next terrorist attack.

            Do tellā€¦ what differentiates you from the people who labelled the ANC ā€œterroristsā€ back in the 80s? Or the people who labelled the Viet Cong ā€œterroristsā€ back in the 70s? Or the people who labelled Jim Brown a ā€œterroristā€ back when the Antebellum South was still a thing?

            Sorry, Clyde - but itā€™s a loaded question. We both know the answer to that one.
