@daniellesatm #antisemitic beliefs are horrid, but a minority.
Most people with a negative opinion of Israel are antizionists - many of them Jews themselves. They do not harbor violent thoughts, but only oppose the apartheid which is today's Israel.
Your equating #antizionism to #antisemitisim is a #dogwhistle meant to snap all Jews to support the segregation project. You are manipulating them with fear.
#Zionism is a 100year project to hijack #judaism. People of the world see through it.
It's amazing that he talks about behaviors outside of Israel, targeting Jews in the diaspora and you immediately started yelling at the diaspora Jew about Israel.
Just a lovely demonstration. But I commend you on at least putting your whole chest behind your real argument that Jews are lying about antisemitism in general and don't actually experience the hate that we do.

At least you recognize that the only way anybody is gonna support your harassment of diaspora Jews is if you insist that the real problem is Jewish ingratitude for your tolerance of us.
Anyways, thanks as usual for your unique and invaluable perspective.
Since it has come up from multiple directions, just a PSA: You are not "one of the few" [brave, willing, honest, strong, whatever] enough to criticize [#Black people, #Jews, #Muslims, #Asians, #gay people, the #LGBT, whatever #marginalized group has captured your ire/annoyance]. You are not the 1 in a million; you are the 999,999. Your life has been lived a billion times before you were born. Every thought that has entered your head or escaped your lips has passed through millions before you and will continue long after yours go quiet. You are not interesting: You are pedestrian. You are common. **You are boring.** Contribute something beneficial in the time you are here.
As I said in my blog post about people working to become better antisemites, I'm sure that the decreasing interaction he has with Jews is unrelated to antisemitism.
For wholly unrelated and innocent reasons, Jews just don't go to him any more for support and companionship.
