A 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.

or political spin as excuses for fomenting divisions? What we do is send our best speakers and defenders of unity and show a united front in public. imo

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.

Netenyahu is a Criminal. And Israel can be criticized like any other country.

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

... 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.
