a shift in policy towards equating anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism...

They’ve been reading my posts.

Anti Zionism is the PC way of saying “I HATE JOOS!”

Because Israel has been beyond patient with “Palestine’.

No one really evaluating the history there should leave with the idea that the Israelis are in the wrong.

And deep down they know they’re not.

They just hate Jews.

Sometimes it’s as simple as it looks.

They cry anti-semitism from one side of their mouth while blaming Jews from the other.

do it!
do it carefully but it is definitely the right course

all USA’s kissing up to enemy regimes (including many outright dictatorships, whether Islamic or otherwise)...
is a gross violation of our values

I do realize that there can be situations where we must maintain diplomatic relations or economic trade with countries opposed to our values or interests..... but these situations should at least be minimized and reviewed frequently to ascertain if we can influence their problematic behavior or else reduce, cut our ties to them

old old folk saying put it well....

Too many liberals, including Jews, do that.

Many DO NOT do any research on the situation in Israel and if they JUST read propaganda, it will look like Israel is a bully and a monster.

Then you can be anti Israel and not anti Semitic, I guess.

Ignorance is a dangerous thing.

We are joined at the hip. As Israel goes so goes the US, and vice versa.

The vast majority of the world’s countries are anti Israel or at least less than enthusiastic.

Excellent.

How a person feels about Israel in a lot of ways says a lot more about them than on any other issue. Along with the stance on Abortion, it’s a big one with me.

So where is the list of said countries?

From the article: "I obviously can't comment on diplomatic tools that we might bring to bear," he said. "Each country is a different diplomatic challenge, a different situation, number one. And number two, if I started disclosing what we might do it would be less effective."

Policies that work, rather than entertain, effect change.

Can you image Secy of State Clinton and Kerry saying this? How about Pres. Obama, who was more interested in protecting Islamic extremism than peaceful Moslems?

Susan Rice - No way
Samantha Power - No interested
Ben Rhodes - fuck the Jews
Anita Dunn - I only like Maoists
Valerie Jarrett - Ain’t no Jews in my hood.

Rep. Omar - The only good Jew is a dead Zionist.
Rep. Tlaib - We Palestinians don’t recognize any Jews in Palestine or elsewhere. That’s what Arafat and Abbas and Hamas have taught us. And Hitler wasn’t such a bad guy after all. He did work with the genocidal killer the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem to kill all the Jews of Palestine. What’s not to like?

AOC - What’s a Jew and why should I care? They aren’t my voting constituents.

Nancy Pelosi- Hey, my mayor brother let the black rioters burn the Jewish businesses down to the ground in East Baltimore in 1968. What’s not to like?

Chuck Schumer - I only care about Jews who vote for me. The conservative Jews are just ultra-right white nationalists and deserve what they get.

George Soros - I betrayed my fellow Jews during WW2 by acting as a KAPO for the Nazis. What’s not to like about anti-Semitism?

SecState Pompeo was also quoted in the article. His advice would likely profit us.

"U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a March speech that anti-Zionism - opposition to Israel's existence as a homeland for the Jewish people - was a form of anti-Semitism, or hostility toward Jews, that was on the rise worldwide and that Washington would "fight it relentlessly"."
