Subject: Re: Cracks in the dem coalition over Israel
I've said it for years. The real home of racism and anti-semitism is the worldwide left.
You are wrong for years, as usual. Most liberals or centrists run into anti semitism on the hard left and struggle to understand why it's there. Part of it is just kooky. But some of it is present in seemingly normal bright intelligent people and it's perplexing. It's not perplexing at all to find it in a conservative.
<snip>HEADER: Poll: Nearly 7 in 10 US Jews think Republican Party holds anti-Semitic views
American Jewish Committee surveys also find 52% of all Americans think GOP holds anti-Semitic opinions; 82% of US Jews say anti-Semitism on rise in last 5 years
37% of Jews, 42% of overall public, say same about Democrats
More than two-thirds of American Jews, and slightly more than half of all Americans, believe the Republican Party holds a lot or some anti-Semitic views.
That's one takeaway from two surveys published Monday by the American Jewish Committee, just over a week before the US elections. The surveys asked Jews and the general American public about anti-Semitism in the United States.
The Jewish survey found that an overwhelming majority of Jews ' 88% ' consider anti-Semitism a problem, and that most see it as a problem on the right and in the Republican Party. Those findings were in line with what the AJC, a nonpartisan advocacy organization, found when it surveyed American Jews last year. A majority of Americans overall also believe that the Republican Party holds anti-Semitic views.
'Results from both surveys indicate more Americans attribute anti-Semitic views to the Republican Party than attribute them to the Democratic Party,' the AJC said. 'Majorities of respondents in both surveys say the Republican Party holds a lot or some anti-Semitic views. More than two-thirds of American Jews (69%) and over half of US adults (52%) say the Republican Party holds at least some anti-Semitic views, compared to 37% of American Jews and 42% of the general public who say the same about the Democratic Party.'<snip>
