Larry Bullslinger and HairyLime the Pope's defender haven't lectured us on this form of bigotry. Josh has been strangely quiet. Trying to go along to get along?

The Left and the Right in America now agree....Jews are the problem....
No one here, either silent or megaphone-hoisting like you, is okay with anti-Semitism.
I would disagree with you that it flows from the majority of either conservatives or liberals or leftists. It's stupid from any point on the ideological map. And some of it, on the Left, is directed at Bibi's brutal brand of RW, and not at Jews per se, so attaching the anti-Semitism label is misleading. Leftists who actually convert their outrage at RW Israeli policy into physical attacks on Jews in America are morons and likely amoral sociopaths tumescent with the new excuse to beat people up. They are a tiny minority, as are the neo-Nazis, but any such segment of an political fringe are clickbait and their existence will be magnified to keep media conglomerates solvent.
The truth in all this ferment is that some people do idiotically construe pro-Palestinian as pro-Hamas and as anti-Semitic. The rest of us would like to see two peaceful states where both Jews and Palestinian Arabs prosper and treat each other with respect. Neither Bibi nor Hamas is the path to that.
Those on the left who profess to champion Palestinian rights are sorely misguided if they believe praising Adolf Hitler, beating up Jews in New York and elsewhere, and defacing synagogues in the U.S. and Europe with swastikas will aid Palestinians.
Those on the right who embrace Nazi mass murderers—such as participants at the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Va., who marched with tiki torches while chanting “Jews will not replace us!”—are motivated by the same fanatical anti-Semitism that motivated Hitler and his Nazi followers long before the founding of the modern state of Israel in 1948.
...I am proud to stand with Jews against anti-Semitism, just as many Jews have stood and continue to stand with black Americans against racism. We haven’t stamped out the virus of hatred yet, but all people of goodwill must continue trying to achieve this vital task.

INTERESTING HOW you equate the democratically elected Netanyahu with a terrorist organization, Hamas.
That in and of itself serves to embolden whom you call morons, and provides the rationale for your own ignorance regarding Palestinian goals for the future of Israel.
I agree with Donna Brazile outlook, however, you know shit about Israeli politics.
Babi’s only goal is to avoid prison by remaining in power.
Because he missed the deadline to form a government he has to stand for election AGAIN.
Even his right wing “Allies” consider he is aspiring to be dictator .
They don’t like him but they like progressives less. They’ve gone after the court system over the last couple years to weaken them because they kept ruling against him and the settler factions.
There is so much corruption around his family the only way he gets to stay out of prison is to hold on to power by any means necessary.
The whole military action in Gaza was a wag the dog attempt to rally patriotism and the assholes in Hamas obliged.
Now the border patrol and police forces are rounding up Palestinians in Israel in a wave of mass arrests trying to exploit the rampages of right wing Israeli bully boys.
Israel is fast becoming an apartheid state whether you admit it or not.
Before I went into the hospital I had a short phone call with a long time acquaintance from the days I managed basketball players in the early 90s) Ben Caspit who has written bios on Bibi. Netanyahu is only interested in maintaining power.
