Is there a growing problem of anti-Semitism from the left?

What religion is Trump’s son-in-law? Does Trump have a good relationship with him? Did Trump move the embassy to Jerusalem? Is Netanyahu’s opinion favorable of Trump? Now look at the inflaming rhetoric you just posted…along with other posters in this thread and honestly tell me…if you can…where the problem lies?

Don’t confuse pro-Israel for pro-Jewish. They are sometimes the same thing but that’s really not the case when it comes to discussing the Jewish population of the United States.

The far left in the UK has had a problem with it. Markedly less so, in America, though.

Like @Dantes stated, don’t confuse pro-Israel for pro-Jewish. Fat donald, just like every other right wing nut politician, caters to their evangelical base because according to their ideology, Israel is the place for the second coming.

…garbage in/garbage out…

You see a Jew…I just see a guy holding up money.

lol - Project all you want, your party is the one that decided to run that ad or send that mailer and they are the ones that photoshopped his nose to make it larger apparently.

Your side doesn’t have a shred of integrity left.

Yes, Britain’s Labour Party many problems with alleged anti-Semitism, and the response to the Pittsburgh attack is the latest controversy:

A local Labour Party branch has refused to pass a motion condemning the antisemitic attack on a synagogue in Pittsburgh that left 11 people dead, according to a party activist. Steve Cooke, the secretary of Norton West branch in the Stockton North constituency, said he was “aghast” that the motion was voted down after members claimed there was too much focus on “antisemitism this, antisemitism that”.

Some Jews are leaving Britain to escape anti-Semitism, which comes from both the far right and far left:
BBC’s Andrew Neil said in a speech that hard-Left anti-Semitism is now ‘more dangerous’ to the UK than the extremism of the ‘knuckle-dragging’ far Right.

The former dnc chairperson was Jewish.

Congressional Jews are 20-2 in favor of the dems.

What does that say to any rational, logical person?

And your side does?

There is a lot of denial in the US.

Consider these quotes from a New York Times article from last week:

Contrary to what are surely the prevailing assumptions, anti-Semitic incidents have constituted half of all hate crimes in New York this year, according to the Police Department. . . During the past 22 months, not one person caught or identified as the aggressor in an anti-Semitic hate crime has been associated with a far right-wing group. . . When a Hasidic man or woman is attacked by anyone in New York City, mainstream progressive advocacy groups do not typically send out emails calling for concern and fellowship and candlelight vigils in Union Square, as they often do when individuals are harmed in New York because of their race or ethnicity or how they identify in terms of gender or sexual orientation.

Translation: Progressives are ignoring an epidemic of hate crimes against Jews in New York City since there is no evidence that they are coming from right-wing extremists.

Mr. BlackWolf is an honest chap. There is bigots on all sides and of all races.

You betcha they do in the Labour Party. And when you dive down that rabbit hole to see why it’s pretty clear. A significant percentage of Labour Party voters are from the Middle East, and a lot smaller percentage of Labour voters are Jewish.

Hate goes way back between the two, and the Labour Party has been backing the group with the bigger population.

From what I can see, Jewish politicians strongly favored Labour in Britain in the years after World War II, but since the 1980s started to leave Labour as the party dramatically changed its policy toward Israel:

What happened in the 1980s? One factor maybe that the Muslim population in Britain started to exceed the Jewish population.

Is a similar dynamic going on in the US?

Funny how not one single lib responded to this…in fact they seem to scatter away from the thread.

Wonder why. :thinking:

Yes, Since the Muslim block is now a larger voting block they’re willing to throw the Jews under the bus.

It’s how they roll. Use em for political advantage until they have no use for em.

Like Trump did with farmers?

Yes, Pew estimates that Muslims will outnumber Jews in the US in another 15 years or so:

The percentage Jewish voters is declining while the percentage of Muslim voters is growing rapidly. It is no surprise that politics in the US are following trends already well established in Britain.

Yes, it is pretty bad when even the New York Times has to admit that there are no hate crimes from the far right. As noted in the OP, a Democrat operative has been charged in relation to anti-Semitic graffiti, so arrest of Democrats is actually ahead of those from neo-Nazis.

At the same time the national media seem very reluctant to admit the existence of anti-Semitic attacks at all unless they can pin them on right-wing fanatics. Consider this recent brutal attack in Brooklyn, which has not appeared in national media to my knowledge:

Authorities originally did not charge the alleged attacker with a hate crime, so they seem reluctant to admit the problem as well.

I’m thinking Bill just created a no lib zone.
