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.”

    Israel is currently engaged in a genocide against Palestinians

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

    their next terrorist attack.

    Do tell… what differentiates you from the people who labelled the ANC “terrorists” back in the 80s? Or the people who labelled the Viet Cong “terrorists” back in the 70s? Or the people who labelled Jim Brown a “terrorist” back when the Antebellum South was still a thing?

    Sorry, Clyde - but it’s a loaded question. We both know the answer to that one.
