So the ADL is mad at MSNBC for referring to the events as Hamas's "retaliation".
Harvard.
Australia.
Black Lives Matter.
The Squad.
Everyone need to stop whining about their open cheering of the events.
After all, as we just learned on this board - Obama cut ties with Wright before 2008.
"I stand with Ukraine~"
"Black Lives Matter!"
Where are those same people who chant those fashionable memes? Why not the same outpouring?
I used to say on TMF: Chickens keep supporting Colonel Sanders.
See how it's grown now? It's not just fringes.
But hey. Obama cut ties with Wright in 2008.
When I see that stuff I out the Israeli news out of my mind and say: I'm like the average Liberal - I see nothing offensive about Wright or what he said.
I guess you want that mentality to continue to go mainstream and structural.
Ok.

Yup. Obama was soooooo brave he cut off his main man Wright a mere 20 years after listening to the guy spew his hate. And ChatNPC forgot to mention all the other Iranian agents and anti-semites that Barack surrounded himself with for years.
Wonder why that is?
The fact is that the American left and the eu elites have nurtured their proto-Marxist anti-semitism for decades now and it its full ugliness can't be hidden anymore. I remember posting what Tlaib and the brother-marrying Ilhad Omar would say on TMF and they'd just shrug their shoulders...after all, why denounce someone you agree with?
And they do.

Without addressing your other characterizations, I will point out that the Palestinians are Semites. So if elements of the left are supporting the Palestinians, they still can't be called "anti-semitic". Not correctly, anyway. Most of what separates the two sides is religion. Genetically, they are from the same tribes.
I won't say there aren't any anti-semitics on the left. Undoubtedly, there are. But I will say that there are a LOT of them on the right. Remember the tiki-torch march? "You will not replace us." That has its origins in anti-semitism.

Indeed.
Anti-Israel is not the same as antisemitic.

Yes, they can be. While the etymology of the word "anti-semitic" stem from analyses of the various Semitic languages, today the word means hatred or discrimination against Jews. Not all speakers of Semitic languages generally (which include not just Palestinians, but all Arab-speaking peoples) - just Jews.
Sometimes words shift meanings over time. If you say that someone's job performance was awful, it's not a compliment - if you say it was awesome, it is. Even though originally the words were synonyms. And if you say that someone's job performance is awful, you're insulting them. Pointing to the archaic and/or discontinued original use of the word doesn't erase the existence of the current, modern meaning of it.
The same is true of the term "anti-semitism." Despite the origins of the word, in modern usage it is a reference to hatred or prejudice against Jews (whether they speak Hebrew or not), not Arab speakers.

CNN and MSNBC viewers are certainly getting an education this week.
Jake Tapper just called out the left writ large for its anti-semitism:
https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/17119162940...CNN's Jake Tapper: "These last few days have been a real eye-opening period for a lot of people ' a lot of Democrats, a lot of progressives ' in terms of antisemitism on the left."A lot of masks have been ripped off, from Rashida Tlaib and her refusal to even comment on the beheading of babies to Harvard's student body, BLM and many other places.

You seem to watch a lot of TV. That clip is clearly heavily edited by the RNC. Can you provide a link to the complete segment please.
Educated people understand there are anti-semites on the left and right, noting that there is vastly more anti-semitism on the right.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJN-mQRSrvAThanks for the link, Albaby.
Dope and the RNC reduce the issue to an anti-left scree, FTZWS as usual.
Both Slotkin and Tapper are in line with the ADL's position; anti-semitism exists on both the left and right, must be acknowledged and taken to task.

LOL. Thanks for that. The RNC should have clipped Rep. Elissa Slotkin letting Tapper know that "She handles her issues with other members in private" when he asked her to comment on Rashida Tlaib. She also noted that "it should be easy to condemn terrorism" but we all know that Tlaib...won't.
And then Tapper admits they spent all their time looking at anti-semitism on the right during the Trump years (lol, his son-in-law is Jewish; grade: Fail).
Thanks for the clip; it even amplifies the point even better than the snip did.
