OP did Charlottesville protesters to keep up the Confederate statue not chant and I quote "Jews will not replace us"? Before you try saying this group is antisemitic, check your own side's fanatics.

You mean like if someone calls a country a s**thole, it's not racist, it's just directed at the nation?

Or you mean that it's acceptable when people you like do it but not others?

Can you point out the antisemitic positions codified?

As spencgr already pointed out "groups affiliated with" is a very tenuous connection.

Are you really going to argue that disagreeing with Israeli politics is the equivalent of being antisemitic? There are plenty of Jews here in the US that are no fans of current Israeli political positions, I'm sure. Hell, I'm certain there are plenty of Jews in Israel that are no fans of current Israeli politics.

I completely agree with you.

The problem is recognizing that the far left has a whole pile of racists while swinging around the narrative that the right is the party of racism and hate etc.

The Co-president of BLM in KC just resigned because of transphobia and anti-gay stuff within the organization.

Let's not carry water for either side.

It is not acceptable but calling a country a name is not the same as issuing trade sanctions, sending big money in aid, providing military equipment. Sticks and stones.

Well there is this: kind of seems backwards at this time and place...

Klein urged the Southern Poverty Law Center to put Black Lives Matter on their list of hate groups, tweeting: "BLM is a Jew hating, White hating, Israel hating, conservative Black hating, violence promoting, dangerous Soros funded extremist group of haters."

then:

"As progressive pro-Israel organizations and members of the American Jewish community, we are appalled and outraged by the bigotry and hatred expressed and promoted by Morton Klein, president of the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA), at this painful and important moment of reckoning for our country," the signatories wrote. "Klein’s latest outbursts and long track record of bigotry should make him unwelcome in any mainstream Jewish communal spaces and should lead to his expulsion from organizational umbrella groups such as the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations

https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...form-1.5421194



https://www.bostonglobe.com/opinion/...8QN/story.html

There are hundreds of pages on a simple Google search to show their hatred towards Jews, and their complete support of the BDS movement, which was created with the sole pupose of dismantling the Jewish state and running all the Jews into the Mediterranean Sea (BLM and BDS cry out "from the river to the sea," which is a Hamas phrase calling for complete genocide of all Jews in the Mideast).

So i ask you, if BLM supports Jewish genocide, and codifies it in their platform, would it be fair to call BLS an anti-semitic organization?
I wonder if we can call it systematic antisemitism in leftist culture?

That is a well established, and recognized, issue within Black American culture. Yep. That's not racism, but I take your point.

so let me get this straight if 2 groups that both want me dead are fighting with each other, I can not attack the murderous side that the "enlightened" support.

KKK=Black lives matter
