Reply To: Anti-semitism: Republicans vs Democrats

ujm: I certainly did not say there aren’t antisemites in the D party. Just that the numbers indicate Rs are much more so, and particularly Trump supporters. You’re right, surveys could be flawed. But if these results surprise you, you need a wake up call.

Lakewhut: I just looked up a poll from Brooking Institute, I think they are left leaning. Let’s assume you’re right that anti-zionism = antisemite. I propose BDS is a good measure of anti-zionism. The June 2022 poll says 33% of democrats polled say they support BDS. That’s higher than the mere 19% of democrats who “approved” of Trump’s meeting, but still lower than the 38% of Trumpers who approved of the meeting. For republicans, 9% supported BDS. Much lower as an indicia of anti-semitism, but how about the fact that 38% of republicans APPROVED Trump meeting nazi lovers? This meeting is much more dangerous and offensive sign of Jew-hating to me, there’s no way to spin this meeting.

Did you ever try walking through these campuses? Try a few and let me know your experience. If you act like a decent, respectful person you may be surprised.
