I am also including 
as a response to your "question".
Your comment is a common misdirect, a red herring of sorts. I read the article again, just to be sure. Not ONCE is Israel mentioned. NOT ONCE! So why ask that question in a thread about an article describing anti-Semitism in THE US?!
Can you criticize Obama, Walker, Kanye, Candace Owens and not be racist? Of course. Does that mean that all criticism of those individuals is never racist? Again, of course not. Can one be critical of China and not be Sinophobic? Yes, but again, it doesn't mean there can't be elements of it. One only has to look to the former POS who squatted in the White House and his comments about China and Chinese individuals in regard to COVID and see some criticism was indeed bigoted.
Some criticism of Israel is indeed anti-Semitic, but most is not. Some of the criticism is nothing more than regionalism, another form of bigotry for which many are quite fond; think of comments about The American South, Latte Liberals of the Northeast, and the "earthy-crunchy" individuals of the Pacific Northwest, these are all examples of "regionalism". And, of course, it should go without saying, but any fucking time someone, especially a Jew, doesn't "know their place", we have to let everyone know that, yes, there is and always has been legitimate criticism of Israel.
Perhaps you were asking a question with no malintent, I don't know. What I do know is there has been WEEKS of anti-Semitic actions and words in the news, and PLENTY of people defending it, excusing it (or the speakers of it), or minimalizing it, so I am already on the defense, add to it I am gay and having to watch another group of my brothers and sisters get mowed down, I am not just on edge, I am fucking PISSED OFF!
So, if you were not baiting and were asking a legitimate question, I only slightly apologize for my tone.
