ā€œThe resolution suggests that all anti-Zionism—it states—is antisemitism. That’s either intellectually disingenuous or just factually wrong,ā€ said New York Representative Jerry Nadler, who voted present. ā€œThe authors if they were at all familiar with Jewish history & culture should know about Jewish anti-Zionism that was and is expressly not antisemitic. This resolution ignores the fact that even today, certain Orthodox Hasidic Jewish communities … have held views that are at odds with the modern Zionist conception.ā€

      Well you see, if they don’t support Zionism they’re not real Jews!

        I’m guessing the opposite. I’m guessing it’s ā€œJews are evil and they all support genocide.ā€

        And considering, as Nadler pointed out, that there are Orthodox communities in the U.S. which are and always have been staunchly anti-Zionist, that’s not even true from Israel’s inception.

          Not only that, but a huge contingent of Zionists are not Jewish, and are pretty damn anti-semetic. There’s a strain of it that wanted to kick Jews out of all other countries.
