So funny....liberals and democrats only think anti-semitism exists from white christians. Muslim or black anti-semitism doesn't raise an eyebrow.

Because in reality, they don't care about anti-semitism, they just care about politics and trying to make themselves feel superior to the other side.

I did b/c I didn't believe a good faith argument was incoming. One was way out of context and the other was commentary on politicians and lobbying groups that blindly support the state of Israel.

I will capitulate, though, that the holocaust comment was clumsily said and Talib probably should have though a bit more before speaking.

So Talib was called an antisemitic for calling Israel an apartheid state. I’d have to agree with her, and I am Jewish. Again, criticizing Israel is NOT criticizing Jews.

And Omar was called antisemitic for saying that US politicians pushing for pro-Israeli policy at the expense of the United States was showing allegiance to a foreign state. Again, I’d agree.

You k ow what’s antisemitic? Conflating Israel with all Jews.

I lost someone close to me to an OD that would be alive today if they were at an injection site.

That being said, is this the route we want to go down? Heroin use isn’t a “trend” that’s going to “phase out”. All the statistics and maps prove that use is on the rise.

Could very well be your kids at an injection site. Take the money for this and put it towards prevention/rehabs/education/methadone. We should get high schoolers to volunteer at rehabs and outreach programs so they can get a glimpse of what happens. Just my two cents.
