I find it interesting that this kind of stuff gets major media attention when Republicans are openly pushing the classic antisemitic conspiracy theory that rich "globalist" Jews like George Soros are trying to replace the white race with migrants.
Criticism of Israel = antisemitic.
Pushing narratives that [i]literally got people killed in Pittsburgh[/i] = just fine.

@CountScrofula I criticize Bibi, the settlements, and the military occupation all the time and yet manage to never be called antisemitic. It's very easy, actually.

@SW-User I believe you on that but then it seems that there is a limit of permissable difference within mainstream discourse which is being policed here. A systemic critique is out of bounds.
Trump himself tweeted a Soros conspiracy and (unlike what Ohmar has said) it really was a conspiracy with not material basis. It never got think kind of reaction. I respect you and I'm being honest in that I think this is about political criticism.

@Burnley123 I think Obama managed to support Israel in words and deeds, and also make it clear that he opposed the settlements. If she wants to attack lobbying that's fine, but she must be aware of how it can come across and use words very carefully.
"I want to talk political influence in this country that says it is OK for people to push for allegiance to a foreign country."
Is that an actual political criticism? Does the Israeli lobby "push" for "allegiance" to Israel? Well, if so, let's see the evidence. What influence?
