    Yo @nytimes, @IlhanMN is not "making Jewish leaders nervous" bc she supports BDS but bc she made an anti-Semitic comment about Israel and ignored activists and Jewish journalists who tried to ask about it - which your reporter didn't in this puff piece.https://nyti.ms/2GN2gcu

        Would love to know if @SherylNYT asked any Jews why they are upset or just assumed. Would love to know if she asked @IlhanMN the questions we Jewish journos keep trying to ask but getting stonewalled: Why did you lie to constituents? Do you believe Israel has supernatural powers?

        Between me and @aidenpink, we must have reached out to @IlhanMN a dozen times. Nothing. I know activists who have tried and tried to talk to her. Nothing. So it's infuriating to have @nytimes get the access and then be like, anyone who has a problem with her is a racist. BULLSHIT

        well maybe BOTH because she backs BDS and the other stuff (think she called Israel an 'apartheid' regime in a tweet) right?

        She said Israel hypnotized the world and she hopes Allah intervenes! @SherylNYT - did you ask her about that? Did you ask her why she told a synagogue full of Jewish constituents that she opposes BDS before the election and then said she supports it after?

        i fully support BDS and she ought to as well, as should every American Jew, not antisemitic. suggesting Israel has a propaganda machine like no other is also not antisemitic. asking God to intervene is also oddly.. not antisemitic .. sorry AIPAC

        I will not outright deny that the tweet has anti-Semitic connotations. But we can never expose the barbarity of the Israeli occupation and settlement without rhetoric that packs a punch.

        no connotation at all, it's a ludicrous assertion, and as we have learned there has been indiscriminate use of live fire on crowds despite external propaganda. This is the pattern - someone stands against Israeli actions they must answer as being antisemitic, this will blowback

        That's the thing, I have said things much worse towards countries like China and India for things less dastardly. But I think twice before I say anything against Israel.

        as soon as you do - the smear campaign begins - and i honestly do not understand how people don't understand the blow back - if Israel is world wide Jewry and all that Israel does all Jews are responsible for - then it leaves no room and is the desired right wing Israel outcome

        The thing I blame US militarism, Evangelicals and a general hatred of Muslims in the US for all the enabling the US does for Israel. I don't think that Jews are the biggest factor here(in Israel it's different).

        Israel's embrace of Evangelical support seems really dangerous to me. Evangelicals only want to use them as a bit player in their end times narrative.

        Batya, how many anti-Israel activists have to step over the line into anti-Semitism--and get a pass on it--before you finally accept that the anti-Israel movement *is* anti-Semitic, and your anti-Israel/pro-Jewish stance simply isn't sustainable in the world as it is?

        I think there needs to be a distinction. I agree, anti-Israel is anti-semetic. BUT Israel doesn’t get a pass on the bad things it does do (like settlements). There can be no right of return. A democratic Jewish state depends on the very majority remaining Jewish.

        There used to be room on the political spectrum for moderate critics of Israel who rejected anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism. But the bottom has fallen out of the center--criticism of Israel today is dominated by virulent anti-Zionists who are at least "anti-Semitism-curious"

        It’s a really hard thing to balance. I agree. As a fellow Jew I don’t see it as black and white. It’s a fact that Israel was basically founded because of Anti-Semitism. No one else would take the Jews. But it was a bad call.

        ...whose founding nobody, including you, ever questions. The campaign to delegitimize Israel as a country has nothing to do with its behavior, and everything to do with politically motivated demonization--which is why it so often veers into anti-Semitism.

        I agree that Israel is now a country that should be protected. Just like all the African countries that were carved up by colonies. But we can always acknowledge the stupidity of our ancestors, who did things without taking into account local culture. I’m Jewish. I get it
