The resolution makes a dangerous conflation—and quite a few Democrats gave their wholehearted support.

“The resolution suggests that all anti-Zionism—it states—is antisemitism. That’s either intellectually disingenuous or just factually wrong,” said New York Representative Jerry Nadler, who voted present. “The 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 … have held views that are at odds with the modern Zionist conception.”

      If you’re anti-zionist in 2023, you’re calling for the destruction or deportation of 40% of the jews on this planet.

      Failure to support one ethnic cleansing does not mean that you support another. It is possible to support no ethnic cleansing.

      Being against the government of another country is in no way the same as wishing destruction or deportation on its people.

      It’s kind of a major self-report when people are straight up incapable of imagining the possibility of a secular democratic state with more than one ethnicity/religion. Like it never even occurred to you as an option or possibility.
