/3 Meanwhile, actual genuine no-nuance-about-it Jew-hatred is on the rise, wearing many guises, and making many American Jews reasonably feel unsafe, but why substantively address that when you can opportunistically call out your geopolitical foes.

I feel bad for my Jewish friends in Berkeley and the east bay, where it seems all shopkeepers must display a “from the river to the sea” stickers. People are literally afraid to go out as a Jew. In fucking Berkeley.
Stilll, there seems to be a whole lot of prominent Jewish folks on here and the other place, from both sides of the aisle, pushing this tie from anti-Zionsim to anti-Semitism. I get its a tact by the right, but they didn't invent the premise
It’s tough because anti-Zionism is a is a dog whistle.  I’ve tried to engage people on the other place as to why they hate Soros, and the word salad they provide usually involves billionaires and Zionists. 
I also agree with Ken, re: a rising tide of anti-Semitism in the country. Still, its not helping quell that tide when American Jews seek to connect their religious beliefs to the actions of a far-away nation-state. And likewise, with American Muslims.
Oh sure... but the government of Israel loves to use that fact as cover for their settler initiatives in the West Bank... or ya know... carpet bombing the Gaza Strip.
This is ADL’s official view, likewise a handful of 1M follower accounts at the other place (David Frum, Sheryl Sandberg,etc) have pushed it. Congressional GOPers just glomming on that push to drive a wedge.

But "prominent Jewish folks" aren't fucking congress.
Nope, as clean a house as there could be there
