"I don't like China's government" is not anti-Chinese, but "Dissolve the lone Chinese country and give out its pieces to be ruled by people who hate the Chinese." is pretty damned anti-Chinese.
I don't think Israel should be dissolved, especially after 80 years of existence.

Do you think that there is some force on Earth that can dissolve Israel?

Then we agree on that.

Sen. Fetterman Calls for Democratic Party to ‘Confront Its Own Rising Antisemitism Problem’

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) responded to the news that Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice David Wecht is leaving
the Democratic Party over rising antisemitis ...[text shortened]... e Republicans that are anti-semite.
Look yourself in the mirror.

And isn't Fetterman awesome? 🙂
Knee jerk support for anything Israel does, which used to be the Democrats position and which Fetterman still holds to, is deeply unpopular. In a poll taken in March by Pew:

"Among people who identified with the Democrats, 80% had unfavorable opinions of Israel."

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2026/04/08/israel-netanyahu-favorability-pew-poll/89519136007/

And Gallup's poll in February before Israel snookered Trump into this ridiculous war showed:

"Currently, 65% of Democrats say their sympathies lie more with the Palestinians, while 17% say they sympathize more with the Israelis."

Netanyahu's ceaseless wars with everybody have earned the disgust of most Democrats. Breitbart and Fetterman want us to label that "anti-Semitism".

Let's not forget, college kids notoriously align with liberal democrats. And Jews on campus have many times,
been physically beaten. So you can imagine how democrats within the party feel, too.

The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.

How "many times" is that? And could you limit it to "liberal democrats" assaulting Jews please?

I think you make statements that you know are BS hoping no one will challenge them.

No "liberal Democrat" I have ever heard speak supports assaults on Jews on campuses or anywhere else. That's more of a right wing thingy.

EDIT: I don't think you meant the JDL which is a terrorist organization: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/apr/09/jdl-613-jewish-extremist-organization

JDL has quite a history of attacking Jews themselves. JDL is a radical right wing extremist organization.

He probably meant the Anti-Defamation League or ADL.

The ADL doesn't support his claims either.

Main findings of the study include:

Highly antisemitic Americans (defined as individuals who accept multiple anti-Jewish tropes) are more likely to support political violence for causes they believe in, whether on the political right or left.
Highly antisemitic Americans are two to three times more likely to support political violence to achieve far right goals, such as preventing the teaching of "critical race theory," preventing Trump's prosecution, and preserving the rights of whites. Highly antisemitic Americans are also more than twice as likely to support political violence for goals associated with the left, such as restoring the federal right to abortion, preventing police brutality, and preserving voting rights for minorities.
Highly antisemitic Americans are twice as likely to support dangerous antidemocratic conspiracies, such as those declaring the U.S. is a "Christian nation," believing that white Christians are oppressed or that white people will have less rights than minorities in the future (i.e., the "Great Replacement" idea).
Compared to the general population, highly antisemitic Americans are three times more likely to support political violence to restore Donald Trump to the presidency.
Among highly antisemitic Americans, support for a "national divorce" between Red/Republican and Blue/Democratic states is over twice that in the general population (33 percent vs. 16 percent).
Among highly antisemitic Americans, support for ignoring the U.S. Constitution is nearly three times greater than in the general population (31 percent versus 13 percent).

"Globalize the Intifada" is code for "attack Jews worldwide"

"From the River to the Sea" is code for "dissolve the state of Israel"

"Resistance by Any Means Necessary" is code for "kill Israeli civilians"

I don't think I have to decode "Khaybar Khaybar ya yahud" "Death to Israel" the myriads of similar slogans that are staples at these "protests"
Wow the Right is starting to admit the existence of "dog whistles"!

Sh76 see if you can convince the whites on the Right about these "code words" because they don't seem to think they exist.

EoT: I think you like to bust my chops by asking me for links on something that is commonly known in here.
Face the facts, the vast majority of college students are liberal democrats. And they have beaten many Jews in recent years,

EoT: Well, JEEEZ Louise!, I wouldn't expect them to openly admit it. I'll give them that much credit.
And NO NO NO - this is not a "right wing thingy", it's a democrat thingy, ask D Sen. Fetterman.


And not JDL, ADL, Anti-defamation League
