Probably half those families don't currently pay any income tax, so that wont finance it or at least it wont finance it without them screaming bloody murder.

The parallels are quite obvious to anyone who knows history. The left are current time's anti-Semites. The Nazis were the anti-Semites of the early 20th century.

WHY don't you and everyone else who feels that way do so? Fund assistance via voluntary donations to private charitable foundations. Let society vote with their wallets. If society values funding assistance, it will voluntarily do so.

Agree. The anti-Semitism on the left is spreading. And for those anti-Isrseli leftists who keep insisting that being against Israel does not have Antisemitisim at its root, let me ask you this:

Why are leftists choosing to denigrate Israel, protesting with the anti-Israel BDS movement, when we barely hear a peep against against countries that are truly brutalizing Muslims? What about the Buddhist country of Mynamer (sp?), and what they've done do the 1 million Rochingya Muslims in that country? The Buddhists won't even allow Muslims to be citizen there (while Israel has Muslims in elected leadership positions)! And what about Syria and its treatment? What about the Kurds? I could go on and on.

WHY is the condemnation focused solely on the Jewish country? Why are leftists so willing - and even eager - to condemn Jews, yet there's not a word about other countries doing far worse?

Here's an article showing the tie between the hard left and Nazism:

Nope, again, anti-Israeli government (which is not the same as being anti-Israel)=/=Anti-Semetism

What's going on in Burma is not right either. I've acknowledged that, as well as the military dictatorship years in Greece and South Korea. Get over yourself and your paranoia

Absolutely, it is anti-Semitism. There's no other reason to hate Israel for defending itself from continuous attacks.

No, it isn't. And that means if you believe what you're saying, that you think that Jews who are against what the Israeli government is doing are self haters then?
