AIPAC Demands Democrats 'Stand With Israel'

[ShazzieB]

44. Amen to this.

And anyone who may be thinking of accusing me of antisemitism because I don't support Bibi can, to put it plainly, go fuck themself. I always have and always will support the Jewish people. That does NOT mean I have to support Netanyahu. I do not support him because I believe he has taken many actions that are not conducive to the welfare and survival of the Jewish people.

If I sound defensive, it's because that's how I feel. I've been much too reticent up until now, for fear of being accused of antisemitism. I have negative feelings toward Netanyahu, NOT because he is a Jew or because he leads a Jewish nation, but because I disagree with the direction in which he is leading his nation. I am anti Netanyahu BECAUSE I care deeply about the future of the Jewish people and the nation of Israel, and I'm not going to keep my mouth shut any longer. I stand with Israel. I do not stand with Netanyahu.
