The "anti-semite" accusation loses a lot of its punch when upstanding anti-zionist Jews like Max Blumenthal and others are prominent and eloquent critics of Israel. What does it mean anyway? Palestinians are semites. Jews everywhere are very likely concerned, not only in human sympathy for the Gaza Palestinians who are about to be massacred, but how that reflects unjustly on Jews generally. As for Democrats - their callous support for the Ukraine proxy war against Russia is typical: they have launched far more wars than Republicans have, and are typically belligerent. As for LGBTQ and trans rights, these should not be politicized any more than brown eyes v blue, left v right- handedness, etc.

Perfect. But I fear clear reason is wasted on the ignorant.
