As in he condemns both antisemitism and he condemns apathy for Palestinians. That makes sense. Antisemitism is bad. Pro-Palestinian is good. I hate that we’re still funding Israel. But I’m glad he’s been openly critical of Netanyahu and has been constantly been pushing for aid to Gaza.
Found the DNC staffer
The Israeli lobby and PR machine is going into overdrive over these protests. It must be working. How can we support them?
Republicans and Democrats are united on this too.
What news are you reading? Republicans want more funding for Israeli defense. They tried to draft legislation for Israel aid independent of Ukraine and Taiwan. You’re joking, right?
Edit: And Trump has encouraged the eradication of the Palestinians as long as Israel “doesn’t record it”

And what does the Democratic party want?
Both sides support Israel, but they’re far from united. Republicans have been pushing Israel to take the fight directly to Iran since the proxy conflict started in ‘85. Believe it or not, this is a more moderate version of support than the republicans would have if they were in control.
Are the antisemitic protests in the room with us Joe? Can you point to one of them for us?
Just more finger pointing without substance to try to discredit protests. Yesterday’s CNN article specifically about antisemitism at Columbia protests didn’t provide any more specifics than one Jewish student saying how scared he was because someone confronted him. Doesn’t say about what or offer any specifics of the confrontation, just that he was scared.
Blanket accusations of antisemitism continue to undermine efforts to call out legitimate antisemitism, which is still a problem.
So he’s saying there’s very fine people on both sides?
What a complete asshat
