General Discussion
Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsA number of media hosts and their guests are fomenting Democratic divisions by refusing to
acknowledge that criticism of Israel is anti-Semitic. Some hosts just keep the discussion going in a negative way. Many viewers see and understand it for what it really is. And thanks to some pundits like Sam Stein the divisivness will be squashed. Nancy was great in my opinion. She gets it.

(10,252 posts)Criticism of Israeli gov policies is not anti-semitic. Perhaps you noticed that Netanyahu has been indicted for corruption?

(11,738 posts)A number of media hosts...Who? and What are they doing to foment divisions exactly?
"refusing to acknowledge that criticism of Israel is anti-Semitic" - Other people have commented but I am asking you to clarify...Are all criticisms of Israel anti-Semitic? If not, please state which criticisms are NOT anti-Semitic. If yes, then explain how every single criticism of Israeli policies or politicians would be purely anti-Semitic.

I see you haven't responded to the members that have called you out.

(10,303 posts)... then what is criticism of the Vatican?
I don't equate criticism of the government of Israel as necessarily being anti-Jewish. In the same way that we would criticise the Pope for not doing enough to combat child molestation by priests .... that isn't anti-Christian.
