He described the major pro-Israel lobby as an organization “for whom the only thing more frightening than democracy being allowed to run its course is an end to genocide and Netanyahu’s wars.”
I don’t think that’s giving American Jews enough credit.
Israel as a bug-out plan for anyone with Jewish heritage is a distinctly Zionist idea, which is more polarizing these days. But even if some Jews are given to such an us-them disposition, many find it impossible to ignore this apparent gollum of an increasingly explicit mechanized hegemonic (eta: genocidal) fascist secular apartheid state somehow laying claim to their worldwide identity.
In short, I just find it hard to believe the average Jew is especially ignorant, heartless, or selfish. That to me sounds like actual antisemitism.
