164. She's right anti-semitism has no place...

Thu Jun 13, 2024, 03:23 PM

Jun 2024

But when the few instances of anti-semitism is used to try to cover up the stench of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by Israel, it is going to grow. Some bigoted people cannot separate Zionism from Judaism and will use Israel's crimes as an excuse to hate Jews.

You may be surprised that I find that possibility horrifying.
