2 links and "wrong" don't explain your point. Even the tweet is cryptic.

It's not anti-Semitism to be against Israel becoming an oppressive Apartheid state. That's tough love.

When two groups protesting the war in Gaza and the anti Israel group shouted: Jews, go back to the ovens.

That's not me. Or my Jewish family that oppose Likud's policies. Or my Jewish neighbors who oppose Likud's policies. That's not the mainstream American Liberal position.

Also: 2008?

and, granted, I am not in search of more examples.

We've seen many examples when anti Israel and anti Likud have a hint of anti semitism, on these pages, too, and this is what she was saying.

Yes, form 2008 - have to rely on YouTube to post these clips.

And I was thinking that at least the late reporter Helen Thomas, so beloved on these pages, just told the Israeli to "go back" without specifying where to.
