The resolution makes a dangerous conflationā€”and quite a few Democrats gave their wholehearted support.

ā€œThe resolution suggests that all anti-Zionismā€”it statesā€”is antisemitism. Thatā€™s either intellectually disingenuous or just factually wrong,ā€ said New York Representative Jerry Nadler, who voted present. ā€œThe 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 ā€¦ have held views that are at odds with the modern Zionist conception.ā€

    Israel is currently engaged in a genocide against Palestinians

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

    their next terrorist attack.

    Do tellā€¦ what differentiates you from the people who labelled the ANC ā€œterroristsā€ back in the 80s? Or the people who labelled the Viet Cong ā€œterroristsā€ back in the 70s? Or the people who labelled Jim Brown a ā€œterroristā€ back when the Antebellum South was still a thing?

    Sorry, Clyde - but itā€™s a loaded question. We both know the answer to that one.
