Jewish Group

alarmed about for more than a year. A real effort to paint Democratic party as, anti-Semitic, anti-Jewish, anti-Israel. Meanwhile in life and the same reading, the most antisemitic and anti-Jewish statements I encounter come from conservatives, conservative Christians, and people I know to be Republican voters.

The pro-Palestinian people I know are not anti-Israel and not anti-Semitic but are pro-Palestinian rights. I recently had a discussion with a first year college student at U.S. Santa Cruz and told her I thought the campus demonstrations were Astroturf and she confirmed that the main body of the demonstrators on that campus were not students though some students had joined them.

This effort to paint Democratic people as anti-Israel and anti-Semitic seems to have all the hallmarks of the old, we accuse the opposition of what we are doing.

It also seems to want to increase separation of the Evangelical Christians and the Democratic party, even as I have noticed I more anti-Semitic comments from the Evangelical crowd, meaning the casually made slurs against Jewish people, while they rail for the preservation of Israel. I have found that weird for years.

I hope this observation does not offend anyone, I am objecting to the false labeling of Democratic and liberals as being anti-Semitic. I am also not hating on the Evangelicals nor do I think this is a uniformly held notion by that group and for the record. I am non-religious though I did grow up in a Christian home and attended Church until I was an adult and moved away from home and later took my own children to Sunday School. My family belonged to a denomination that has been famously liberal and split a few years ago. I also remember our church having special collections for the Palestinians a few times, and recently wondered how the Palestinian Christians have fared. I haven't seen them mentioned in the news articles of the last few years.
'The most recent accusation about Democratic being anti-Semitic is Harris not choosing Shapiro. I think the reason Walz was the pick was because of Walz's obviously strong political support for Harris. Buttigieg and Walz were my favorites on the list of possibles.
