    Wait… I thought we were supposed to deny any connection between Israel and Judaism to prevent being accused of antisemitism?

    I can’t keep up here.

      It’s a tough thing. The Israelis and friends are using money and influence to get laws passed in the US and have protests shut down. Which fits really neatly into ancient (literally) anti semite ideas. And it’s really hard to talk about without someone just strawmanning you as a racist.

      It’s foolish to pretend there aren’t some Jews who strongly identify with Israeli policy.

        I’m just saying that until now, there has been a refusal to make any linkage between Israel the nation and Judaism itself.

        I wonder what has changed for some of you, or if nothing has changed and you are just getting more comfortable.

          Not Judaism. Some Jews.

          All of Isis is Muslim. Not all Muslims are Isis.

            Meh, evangelical Christians are also very pro-Israel, and give tons of money to pro-Israel groups. Some of the more hawkish strategists are pro-Isreal for military and geopolitical reasons.
