"In general, anyone who speaks against Israel policies is ridiculed as an anti Semite"
This is false. It's amazing that people actually think that when in practice many American politicians from all sides (including aipac itself) often speak against Israel.
- tracer4201 7y agoNo, it’s not false. AIPAC may have spoken against something very specific Israel did (such as denying American congresswomen entry) but in general, they and the Israeli lobby strong arm any opponents of Israeli policy.
- amitport 7y agoI just want to point out that you went from "the narrative has been that not supporting Israel 100% unconditionally is equivalent to being anti Semitic." to "in general, they [aipac] and the Israeli lobby strong arm any opponents of Israeli policy." Honestly, I'm not sure what aipac does or does not do, that's not the discussion I went into.
