The notion that it’s anti-Semitic for @IlhanMN to state that lobbyists for Israel effectively sway politicians to support Israel, is outrageous.
The Israeli lobby is effective and well funded. This isn’t a trope or a slur. It’s a fact. We are allowed to critique Israel. We must
Lobbyists for Israeli interests are among the most effective in the world. They are masterful. They are so good, in fact, that if you dare to critique them, their most ardent supporters will attempt to frame even your most earnest and sincere critiques as bigotry.
I loathe anti-Semistism. I literally track and bring Neo-Nazis to justice as my personal hobby. Simultaneously, I am a public critic of the ultra conservative Trump loving Israeli government and many of their most problematic policies. Both of these can/must co-exist.
I hate that people automatically associate ANY critique of Israeli politics or people, based SOLELY on their actions and intentions, w/ anti-Semitism. Exposing human rights abuses is NOT anti-Semitic!
The part of this whole situation that too many people forget; it is perfectly possible to be antisemitic and pro-Israel, being vocally pro-Israel doesn't automatically make one a friend of the Jewish people.
True! See President Jimmy Carter, whose goodwill and decency is unquestioned, branded an “antisemite” when he spoke out against Israels aggression against the occupied civilians in Palestine.
I agree that they're super effective. I'd love to emulate them on behalf of India and create a pro-India lobbying group. I'll call it the American India Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC for shor -- doh!
US Gen'l (Ret'd) Tommy Franks once commented that "If there is war with Iran, it will be a 'made in Israel' war." He was immediately labelled an anti-semite by AIPAC.
I wish I knew how "criticizing the Israeli PM" became synonymous with being anti-semitic. It's an intentional dumbing down of political discourse worthy of a chapter in @algore 2007 book

I don't necessarily agree with you but I do want to make the point that you're a hypocrite because this is exactly what the Left in this country does and much much worse! Just ask the many Conservatives banned and boycotted like @TuckerCarlson !
MIC DROP
It seems that most words in the English language have some sort of a subliminal anti semetic meaning! How did that happen? Can any one help us and list them, so we can be warned.
I rather be pro truth, than pro anything! Because there are dirty hands in all in lobbying groups!
Agreed. Anti Zionism or anti apartheid (which is what the Israelis are doing to the Palestinians) is not Anti Semitism.
Your comment about Istaeli lobbyists is very much like saying Jewish bankers control the world financial markets. Having grown up in the 40s and having suffered substantial anti-semitism, i only wish we were as powerful as some think we are.
Anti-Zion is not anti-Jew. Pro-Palestinian rights is not anti-Semetic. Arabs are Semites too.
You are correct about Israeli Lobbyists they direct criticisms twoards Corbyn because he correctly compares their tactics to Apartheid South fricans. I'v lived through Gaza Israeli terrorism and South Africa apartheid & I can assure you Israel is based on hared of Palestinians
