I have read the tweets
I have watched the coverage
Is there a disconnect here?
I understand the media from the Right making a big deal out of this. I do not understand why main stream media or the left leaning media is jumping on the band wagon.
If you take any of her tweets and replace Israel with some other Country, there is nothing to talk about except
a) Good point - should we change our policy toward 'x' country?
or
b) Is she crazy? why would we even discuss this? The current policy is the correct one.
Those that took into consideration that Israel is made up of majority Jewish population, are being discriminatory.
The one thing we have learned is that many anti-Semites are pro Israel. Most christian white supremacists fit here .
Another fact is that many Americans, who support the Jewish cause are against the current Government in Israel.
Some Americans are really weird. They think that in order to resolve the Israeli/Palestinian dispute You have to recognize that:
a) Both sides have good points to support their respective opinions.
b) Both sides have done terrible things.
The worst thing we can do is to shut down debate, by shouting 'antisemitism' at anyone who brings the topic up.
Even if that person bringing it up, happens to be Muslim.
