    Despite being Jewish

    I know you didn’t mean any harm by this but it is antisemitic to assume that all Jews do, or should, or would be expected to, support Israel. It’s not true, it has never been true, and the only people who claim it is true are racists.

      That’s exactly why I said it, though? Bernie is an example of a high standard we should hold all people to. Calling me antisemitic for that makes you seem like an Israeli apologist.

          All I’m saying is, due to his self identified ethnicity and as a democratically elected politician, he has more to lose as a Jewish Person than almost any other democrat in congress. That matters. We’re allowed to talk about that.
