2. The "Israel FIRST" crowd exists in both parties
so the wail of anti semitism or the ever insulting "self hating Jew" epithet hurled at people with legitimate complaints over Israel's behavior isn't the property of one party or the other. It's the problem with a certain mindset, a fearful one that needs the presence of a Jewish state as a place to retreat to should REAL anti semitism ever rear its ugly head in the US again.

I don't condone this mindset, but I do understand where it's coming from.

I'm also not terribly polite when I contradict it.
