   > *The mayors argue that while criticism of the Israeli government is not anti-Semitism in itself, holding Jewish people responsible for the actions of that government just because they are Jewish is.*
   
   I have absolutely nothing against the Jews who openly condemn their fascist government.
   
   But I have a lot against the Jews who don't. And I have a lot against the Jews who kicked Palestinian families out of their houses and still occupy them.
   
   And that's not anti-semitism.
   
   Just like criticizing the Palestinians who support Hamas isn't an attack against all Muslims.
   
   Just like criticizing the Americans who support Trump isn't an attack against all Americans.
   
   Just like criticizing the Germans who supported Hitler wasn't a hate crime against all Germans.
   
   Just like shooting at the Italians who supported Mussolini's social republic and plunged the country into civil war wasn't a crime against all Italians.
   
   We need to call people accountable for the governments that they elect and support just like we call those governments accountable for their actions.

     You lost me when you're hating on the only US president in our lifetimes that didn't start a new war, tried to stop illegal immigration, added tariffs to increase US manufacturing, personally called the families of every solider that died on his watch (Obama couldn't do this; he would have spent his entire administration on the phone) ... Trump wasn't the best. He fucked up the COVID policy, shut down a country that shouldn't have been and pushed the most dangerous untested preventative ever released on a global scale. But I think you have some serious consistency issues with your message.
